The highly anticipated Fortnite Season 4 update has finally arrived, and with it comes a plethora of exciting leaks and new content. The update launched early, with downtime beginning at 11:00 p.m. EST and expected to conclude around 4:00 a.m. For those eagerly awaiting the new season, here’s everything we know so far.
Dr. Doom’s Trophy Room and Fantastic Four References
One of the most intriguing aspects of the Season 4 update is the new background lobby, which features Dr. Doom sitting on a throne made from the defeated members of the Fantastic Four. This chilling detail includes Sue Storm as the seat and a trophy-like figure of Mr. Fantastic to the far left. However, the whereabouts of the Human Torch remain a mystery. Additionally, it appears that Dr. Doom has also taken down Galactus, whose massive form can be seen on the island.
Return of Attack on Titan Mythics and Stark Industry Drones
Excitingly, the Attack on Titan mythics have been reintroduced to the game files. These popular items might be making a comeback in either Creative mode or a future update. Similarly, the Stark Industry drones from Chapter 4, Season 4, are also set to return, although they haven’t been re-released just yet.
New Points of Interest and Mythics
A new Chapter 6 point of interest, dubbed the “Trophy Room,” has been spotted, although some leakers believe this could be a mix-up with Dr. Doom’s Fantastic Four trophy room. Additionally, the mythics from Chapter 2, Season 4—one of Fortnite’s most memorable seasons—are back in the files, hinting at their possible return to the game in some capacity.
Victory Umbrellas and Fortnite Reload Solos
Season 4 introduces the new Victory Umbrella and Ranked Umbrella, rewards for achieving wins in the game. In other exciting news, Fortnite Reload Solos is currently being tested, offering a Call of Duty-like experience where players have three lives before being eliminated. This new mode is expected to bring a fresh dynamic to the game.
Upcoming Content and Collaborations
Looking ahead, Fortnite Reload is set to receive several major updates by the end of the month, including new locations, weapon refreshes, and potentially even new vehicles. Additionally, the return of Fortnite OG Chapter 2 is confirmed for November 2nd, coinciding with the release of a Snoop Dogg skin on the same day.
New Cosmetics and Battle Pass Details
The Season 4 update also brings a slew of new cosmetics. Highlights include new plush back blings, a unique Spider-Man and Iron Man hybrid skin, and a remixed Hope skin. The September Crew Pack has also been revealed, featuring a concept skin that has garnered mixed reactions from the community.
Unvaulted Weapons and New Items
Several new and unvaulted weapons have been added in Season 4, including the Dual Micro SMG, War Machine’s Arsenal, and Monarch’s Pistol, among others. These weapons are sure to shake up the current meta and offer players new ways to approach the game.
Special Announcements and Features
Epic Games is introducing new scarecrow hiding props, likely tied to the upcoming Fortnite Mares event. Additionally, the Axe of Champions 2.0 will be available in the item shop on September 4th. While some fans are unhappy with this decision, as the original was reserved for FNCS winners, the new variant offers an opportunity for more players to own a piece of Fortnite history.
With downtime still ongoing, more leaks and updates are expected to surface soon. Stay tuned for additional details as they become available, and be sure to check back later for a full breakdown of the Season 4 battle pass, skins, and map changes.
