Fortnite has once again released a new season with Chapter 6, Season 2. The new season’s name is “Lawless,” and seems centered around crimes such as heists. Fortnite said, “Stick ‘em up! It’s time to blow that vault door open and make a… ‘withdraw.” Ransack Fletcher Kane’s banks, take over his armored cars, and even pull off a train robbery! The outlaw Midas returns with a new motley crew, including wannabe hip-hop icon Big Dill, Cassidy Quinn, and more. There’s no such thing as honor among thieves in Fortnite Battle Royale Chapter 6 Season 2: LAWLESS!” Many things have changed with this new season’s arrival. One such thing that changed is the map. One of these new changes to the map is the brand-new Crime City. “You’re sure to find mayhem in the seedy underbelly of Crime City, the ultimate stomping ground for all corrupt and crooked misfits. Make sure to visit the Hostile Hotel, Wise Guys Bookstore, and the Launder Mat for a full criminal excursion.” Another one of the many changes is the Outlaw Oasis. “Unwind at the Outlaw Oasis, a high-end hangout luxury spa and resort where burglars typically relax and recover after a busy day of swiping huge hauls.” The new locations aren’t the only thing introduced this season. New weapons, cars, and consumables are just some of the changes. One of the new weapons is the “Kneecapper,” a brand-new baseball bat used to knock opponents away. “A favorite of ne’er-do-wells everywhere is The Kneecapper, great for giving opponents a good old-fashioned whack. Wielding the Kneecapper reduces the Energy cost of sprinting and increases sprint speed and jump height.” The Thermite, Plasma Burst Launcher, and Rocket Drill are other weapons. “The ONLY way to crack a vault is with Thermite, a powerful explosive stashed around the map. After you’ve planted some, you can set off the explosion faster by damaging the vault’s weak points. The Plasma Burst Laser works great for this, as does the Rocket Drill arriving later this Season in v34.10.” Some other consumables are the Med-Mist Genade, the Gold Splash, the Port-A-Cover, and the Pulse Scanner. “You’ll find new utility items around the map, such as the protective Port-A-Cover and enemy-detecting Pulse Scanner. Both are tremendously useful for holding off henchmen while you grab all the Bars you can find. Are henchmen and enemy squads interrupting your heist in progress? The Med-Mist Grenade helps heal in a pinch, and Gold Splash grants Gold Rush and heals 20 Health (or 20 Shield if you’re at full Health already).
” Even though many things are new, some things on this island have returned from earlier seasons. One such thing is the return of Midas, a character/outfit relevant to the Fortnite story. “The golden king finds his way back to the Island. The Outlaw Midas Outfit will be unlockable from Battle Pass Quests in March and be completable in any Fortnite experience! The Battle Pass will be available to progress in until Chapter 6 Season 2 ends on May 2, 2025, Eastern Time.” Although these items are new, they won’t be around forever. Chapter 6, Season 2 will come to an end on May 2nd.
