Here’s a List of Everything New in Fortnite Chapter 4 4

  <p style="margin-bottom:11px">Fortnite Chapter 4 is here. Following the <a href="https://www.gameinformer.com/2022/12/03/fortnite-chapter-3-finale-event-concludes-with-first-look-at-new-chapter-4-map-and-skins" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Fracture live event on December 3<sup>rd</sup></a>, the Herald and her chrome army obliterated The Island, sending chunks flying in all directions across space. Then, the island began repairing itself, forming an entirely new world filled with new locations, weapons, and mechanics. Blindly jumping into an all-new map can be a bit overwhelming, so here’s a list of every change introduced in Fortnite Chapter 4.</p>

<div class="paragraph paragraph--type--list-item-large-image paragraph--view-mode--default">
            <div class="list-item">

        <div class="field field--name-field-image field--type-image field--label-hidden gi5-field-image gi5-image field__item">  <img src="https://www.gameinformer.com/sites/default/files/styles/thumbnail/public/2022/12/05/e5e2079b/fornite_chapter_4_a_new_map.jpg" width="800" height="450" alt="" class="image-style-thumbnail" />

                                            <h2>
        <div class="field field--name-field-list-item-title field--type-string field--label-hidden gi5-field-list-item-title gi5-string field__item">A New Island</div>
  </h2>

        <div class="clearfix text-formatted field field--name-field-copy field--type-text-long field--label-hidden gi5-field-copy gi5-text-long field__item">Chapter 4’s most obvious change is the new map. Mainly split between an icy mountain, an autumnal forest, and a series of farmlands, this area has loads of secrets yet to be discovered. Players that log in now will have the opportunity to complete Explorer Quests, which allows them to get XP by visiting parts of the island they’ve yet to experience.

                    </div>
        </div>
<div class="paragraph paragraph--type--list-item-large-image paragraph--view-mode--default">
            <div class="list-item">

        <div class="field field--name-field-image field--type-image field--label-hidden gi5-field-image gi5-image field__item">  <img src="https://www.gameinformer.com/sites/default/files/styles/thumbnail/public/2022/12/05/f44f02ad/fortnite_chapter_4_battle_pass.png" width="800" height="450" alt="" class="image-style-thumbnail" />

                                            <h2>
        <div class="field field--name-field-list-item-title field--type-string field--label-hidden gi5-field-list-item-title gi5-string field__item">A New Battle Pass</div>
  </h2>

        <div class="clearfix text-formatted field field--name-field-copy field--type-text-long field--label-hidden gi5-field-copy gi5-text-long field__item">Every new season brings a new Battle Pass, but Chapter 4 overhauls the UI – and changes the progression system slightly. While Chapter 3 would allow players to jump ahead to later unlocks if they spent enough stars, Chapter 4 does away with this system. If you want new skins like Doom Slayer or The Ageless, you have to reach the appropriate level first. Speaking of new skins…

                    </div>
        </div>
<div class="paragraph paragraph--type--list-item-large-image paragraph--view-mode--default">
            <div class="list-item">

        <div class="field field--name-field-image field--type-image field--label-hidden gi5-field-image gi5-image field__item">  <img src="https://www.gameinformer.com/sites/default/files/styles/thumbnail/public/2022/12/05/b29f8f3c/fornite_chapter_4_geralt.jpg" width="800" height="450" alt="" class="image-style-thumbnail" />

                                            <h2>
        <div class="field field--name-field-list-item-title field--type-string field--label-hidden gi5-field-list-item-title gi5-string field__item">New Crossover Skins</div>
  </h2>

        <div class="clearfix text-formatted field field--name-field-copy field--type-text-long field--label-hidden gi5-field-copy gi5-text-long field__item">Fans that watched the Chapter 4 trailer might have seen several upcoming crossovers, including the following:

Doom Slayer (Doom)
Geralt of Rivia (The Witcher)
Hulk (Marvel)
Mr. Beast (YouTube)
Deku (My Hero Academia)

Unfortunately, the only one of these characters currently available is Doom Slayer, which players can acquire through the Battle Pass. Geralt has his own set of quests, but they won’t be available to play until February 7, 2023. The other three are likely to be available through the item shop, but it’s currently unclear when that will be.

</div> </div> <div class="paragraph paragraph--type--list-item-large-image paragraph--view-mode--default"> <div class="list-item"> <div class="field field--name-field-image field--type-image field--label-hidden gi5-field-image gi5-image field__item"> <img src="https://www.gameinformer.com/sites/default/files/styles/thumbnail/public/2022/12/05/4166f3a5/fornite_chapter_4_dirt_bike_2.jpg" width="800" height="450" alt="" class="image-style-thumbnail" />

<h2> <div class="field field--name-field-list-item-title field--type-string field--label-hidden gi5-field-list-item-title gi5-string field__item">A New Vehicle</div> </h2> <div class="clearfix text-formatted field field--name-field-copy field--type-text-long field--label-hidden gi5-field-copy gi5-text-long field__item">Despite its medieval aesthetic, vehicles make a return in this season, and they bring a newcomer: the dirt bike. The bike also comes with a stunt mechanic that rewards players points based on the complexity of their flips and tricks.

</div> </div> <div class="paragraph paragraph--type--list-item-large-image paragraph--view-mode--default"> <div class="list-item"> <div class="field field--name-field-image field--type-image field--label-hidden gi5-field-image gi5-image field__item"> <img src="https://www.gameinformer.com/sites/default/files/styles/thumbnail/public/2022/12/05/55e5c8db/fornite_chapter_4_citadel.jpg" width="800" height="450" alt="" class="image-style-thumbnail" />

<h2> <div class="field field--name-field-list-item-title field--type-string field--label-hidden gi5-field-list-item-title gi5-string field__item">New Weapons</div> </h2> <div class="clearfix text-formatted field field--name-field-copy field--type-text-long field--label-hidden gi5-field-copy gi5-text-long field__item">Though the weapons of Chapter 3 Season 4 have been vaulted, Chapter 4 introduces enough new weapons that the loss is hardly noticed. The two most notable are the Ex-caliber Rifle, which shoots explosive swords, and the Shockwave Hammer, a melee weapon that can launch you through the air to smash opponents on the ground below. Here’s the full list:

</div> </div> <div class="paragraph paragraph--type--list-item-large-image paragraph--view-mode--default"> <div class="list-item"> <div class="field field--name-field-image field--type-image field--label-hidden gi5-field-image gi5-image field__item"> <img src="https://www.gameinformer.com/sites/default/files/styles/thumbnail/public/2022/12/05/c91b5e5a/fortnite_chapter_4_augments.png" width="800" height="450" alt="" class="image-style-thumbnail" />

<h2> <div class="field field--name-field-list-item-title field--type-string field--label-hidden gi5-field-list-item-title gi5-string field__item">Augments</div> </h2> <div class="clearfix text-formatted field field--name-field-copy field--type-text-long field--label-hidden gi5-field-copy gi5-text-long field__item">New to Fortnite is the Augment system, which grants players powerful, randomized perks every few minutes they stay alive in a game. For example, augments can spawn in certain weapons, give vehicles unlimited fuel, or allow you to regenerate a specific type of ammo. Playing more will also unlock new augments over time, so pay attention to the unlock screen when you return to the lobby at the end of a game to see if you received any new ones.

</div> </div> <div class="paragraph paragraph--type--list-item-large-image paragraph--view-mode--default"> <div class="list-item"> <div class="field field--name-field-image field--type-image field--label-hidden gi5-field-image gi5-image field__item"> <img src="https://www.gameinformer.com/sites/default/files/styles/thumbnail/public/2022/12/05/5b6dafb9/fortnite_chapter_4_oathbound_chest.png" width="800" height="450" alt="" class="image-style-thumbnail" />

<h2> <div class="field field--name-field-list-item-title field--type-string field--label-hidden gi5-field-list-item-title gi5-string field__item">Oathbound Chests and The Ageless</div> </h2> <div class="clearfix text-formatted field field--name-field-copy field--type-text-long field--label-hidden gi5-field-copy gi5-text-long field__item">The Citadel, one of Chapter 4’s new locations, is a large castle tower that houses the Ageless, a new boss. If you decide to take him on, be careful; he wields the Ex-Caliber Rifle and the Shockwave Hammer and has a massive pool of health. If you’re looking to grab these weapons, this boss fight is a consistent way to get them, but they’re also available by other means. Both can be gathered through normal chests (albeit, rarely) but they have a much higher chance to drop out of Oathbound Chests, a new type of chest that can be found in the medieval areas of the map.

</div> </div> <div class="paragraph paragraph--type--list-item-large-image paragraph--view-mode--default"> <div class="list-item"> <div class="field field--name-field-image field--type-image field--label-hidden gi5-field-image gi5-image field__item"> <img src="https://www.gameinformer.com/sites/default/files/styles/thumbnail/public/2022/12/03/8b4a7c57/chapter_4_clipdrop-enhance.jpg" width="800" height="450" alt="" class="image-style-thumbnail" />

<h2> <div class="field field--name-field-list-item-title field--type-string field--label-hidden gi5-field-list-item-title gi5-string field__item">Graphical Improvements</div> </h2> <div class="clearfix text-formatted field field--name-field-copy field--type-text-long field--label-hidden gi5-field-copy gi5-text-long field__item">The last big change in the new season is in the game’s graphics engine. Fortnite Chapter 4 has upgraded to Unreal Engine 5.1, which uses new features such as Nanite, Lumen, Virtual Shadow Maps, and Temporal Super Resolution. If you’re booting up the game on a platform that can run these features, the difference is instantly noticeable.
