'Fortnite' Chapter 4 Season 2 Adds Eren Jaeger mid-Season Battle Pass Unlock, Vehicles, Weapons and Tons More

by Rainier on March 10, 2023 @ 11:22 a.m. PST

Fortnite is an expansive original world that invites players to be creative, resourceful and collaborative, combining building skills and destructible environments with intense PvP combat.

In Fortnite, players and their friends lead a group of Heroes to reclaim and rebuild a homeland that has been left empty by a mysterious darkness only known as “the Storm.”

Players will band together online to explore the world for resources, build extravagant forts, find or build insane weapons and traps as they protect their towns from the strange monsters that emerge during the Storm.

Fortnite Battle Royale is the FREE 100-player PvP mode in Fortnite. One giant map. A battle bus.

The last one standing wins.


Become MEGA in the new Fortnite Battle Royale Chapter 4 Season 2: MEGA! Ride the grind rails of “MEGA City” and swerve on its streets on a sports bike. Go beyond the neon towers to the rest of the brand-new biome: Steamy Springs, Drift Ridge, Kenjutsu Crossing, and more. With every new Season comes a new Battle Pass: anime protagonist Eren Jaeger will become available to unlock later in the Season!

Here’s a quick rundown of what’s new this Season:

  • Unlock A Mega Chic Battle Pass: With this Season’s Battle Pass purchase, automatically unlock the fine-tailored Renzo the Destroyer as well as streetwear savant Thunder, the elegantly casual Highwire, and more original Fortnite Outfits as you progress through the Season. Later on, unlock anime protagonist Eren Jaeger!
  • Rise and Grind: Get around MEGA City with the two-person Rogue Bike, or the four-seater Nitro Drifter if that’s more your style. The streets aren’t the only way to get about MEGA City. Jump on its grind rails, then skate around the buildings and your enemies!
  • Stay Mega Assisted: Roll new Reality Augments in Chapter 4 Season 2! Seven new Reality Augments will be made available immediately: Munitions Slide, Shotgun Recycle, Dignified Finish, and more. Additionally, Chapter 4 Season 1 Reality Augments will carry over too. Check out the Fortnite blog for the full list of available Reality Augments in the new Season. 

MEGA FAST

New city, new streets, new vehicles:

  • VICTORY CROWN ROGUE: Be a flash of light. This two-person sports bike features high acceleration, sharp turning, and a boost-ready engine. Also known as the “Rogue Bike.”
  • NITRO DRIFTER: Want a car instead? Get in this four-seater and use its handbrake to drift ‘round the bend.

Vehicle note: The Dirt Bike vehicle, Motorboat vehicle, Chonkers Off-Road Tires vehicle mod, and Cow Catcher vehicle mod are vaulted in Battle Royale in v24.00.

MEGA READY

Go melee or ranged with Chapter 4 Season 2’s new weapons:

  • KINETIC BLADE: Acquire one of these katanas and perform the artful Knockback Slash. Not holding back? Show no mercy and perform the devastating Dash Attack. The Dash Attack has three charges that enter a cooldown upon use.
  • HAVOC SUPPRESSED ASSAULT RIFLE: Silenced, highly accurate, and fully automatic, take up this weapon to give a new meaning to “mega”: it’s not always bold and brash, it’s sometimes cool and confident. (Get the Mythic version from defeating the boss “Highcard”...)
  • HAVOC PUMP SHOTGUN: Like bold and brash better? Make a scene with this high-damage Shotgun. (Find the Mythic version from Vaults requiring Keycards…)
  • OVERCLOCKED PULSE RIFLE: Obtain this new Mythic Pulse Rifle from… a POI rifting in?

MEGA EFFECTIVE

MEGA ASSISTED

Roll new Reality Augments in Chapter 4 Season 2! Here are the seven new Reality Augments releasing with v24.00:

The streets aren’t the only way to get about MEGA City. Jump on its grind rails then skate around the buildings and your enemies. Even use your weapons as you ride!

MEGA MELLOW

Need a break from urban battle? Step foot on the fresh, teal-tinted grass of MEGA City’s surroundings. This city isn’t the only new location in Chapter 4 Season 2 — it’s just one part of a brand new biome! Here’s a preview of this southeast addition to the Island:

Environment note: Snowballs, boars, wolves, crows, and frogs are vaulted in Battle Royale in v24.00.

MEGA CYBER

MEGA City isn’t the only futuristic city around. In the Cyber City Callout, we challenged island creators to create dynamic islands set in a cybernetic future. Little did these creators know, MEGA City was the inspiration! If you can’t get enough urban ambience, check out the Cyber City Discover row and jump into a curated selection of metropolises. The Cyber City Discover row will be live until March 26, 2023, at 9 AM ET.

MEGA CHIC

Look mega good with Chapter 4 Season 2’s Battle Pass Outfits. With the Chapter 4 Season 2 Battle Pass purchase, you’ll auto-unlock the fine-tailored Renzo the Destroyer. Progress through the Battle Pass to unlock other Outfits, including the streetwear savant Thunder, the elegantly casual Highwire, and more. 

A look at all the Chapter 4 Season 2 Battle Pass Outfits:
