![]() ![]() The Fortnite map now has several corrupted zones, which are eerie scorched sites marked with unexplained runes, which no doubt have some connection to the island’s mythology. One of the fully grown cornfields, which provide handy cover and a few surprises. This may cut down on the number of finales that are dominated by players with super-fast vertical-building skills. Easier to find and more adaptable than the launch pad, these were a common feature of end-game strategies, helping you to get safely down from tall constructions, or to swoop into safe zones at the last second. One surprising removal is the bouncer pad, which allowed players to eject high into the air and then parachute safely to Earth. Could be that we’ll see a more considered approach, with fewer close-distance shootouts. This is going to place the emphasis back on assault rifles, and especially the SCAR, but it’s not clear yet how it’s going to affect the pace of the action – and the distance of engagements – especially at the end or in high-encounter areas like Tilted Towers. The impulse grenade, suppressed SMG, remote mines and light-machine gun are also gone, a major streamlining of the game’s more specialised armoury. The double shotgun now does much less damage, taking 40 health points on a body shot, which places it well behind the heavy shotgun in terms of brutal force. Season six hasn’t added much in terms of the combat arsenal, but what it has done is nerfed or removed some key items. It seems Epic Games has a whole subterranean play space worked out for the game. What’s more, there are a bunch of as-yet blocked-off tunnel exits, leading in different directions.Įlsewhere in Wailing Woods, there are several new cabins, which also have access to an underground tunnel network, but again, the passageways are currently closed. Was this the site of some big science experiment? From the arrival of the comment to the launch of the rocket at the end of season four, we’ve known that Fortnite Battle Royale has an arcane narrative involving alien visitors and sinister characters such as Omen and Omega, and it feels like this chamber is part of that story. ![]() Dig your way through the base of the building in the middle of the maze and you gain access to a huge underground research base, complete with the same kind of metal corridors we see in the abandoned facility in the woods near Dusty Divot, as well as interesting little easter eggs (a picture of the original Dusty Depot on one office wall) and a testing chamber with its own rift. Photograph: Fortniteįor the last few seasons there’s been a weird bunker entrance hidden in Wailing Woods, and although a few players have managed to glitch their way in, it’s been one of the island’s most enduring mysteries. Part of the bunker now discovered beneath the Wailing Woods maze, complete with Dusty Depot painting. ![]()
