Go back to chapter 1.
Fortnite is traveling back in time, literally. The latest season launched on Friday and the plot sees loopers traveling back to the past so that Jonesy can extract something of great value. Unfortunately time has already been altered by last season’s villain Kado Thorne, meaning things aren’t quite the same.
The map from Chapter 1: Season 5 is back bringing with it many of player’s favorite old zones like Tilted Towers. Ziplines and reboot vans have been added in and sprinting/mantling are still here. Most notably swimming has been completely removed from the game and you will instantly die if you jump into the deep water on the outside of the island.
Augments have been 100% removed, as have gold currency and keys and as has the bulk of the game’s weapons and vehicles. In its place are tons of unvaulted weapons like the assault rifle, LMG, and even oldies like the boogie bomb and chug jug are finally back.
The season lasts only a month with a battle pass that has 100 levels total (50 normal plus 50 bonus). Every week the map will jump forward another season map before finishing at the end of the month and going into the next season.
