Everything You Need to Know About Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 3

Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 3 has taken the gaming community by storm with its fresh updates and exciting features. This season, Epic Games has introduced several changes that have significantly altered the gameplay experience.

Fortnite Season 3 is packed with chaos and excitement, featuring new mythics, medallions, vehicle upgrades, collaboration items, and points of interest (POIs). Here's a breakdown of everything you need to know.

Desert Biome and Brutal Beachhead

A massive desert biome now covers half the map. In the bottom left, you'll find Brutal Beachhead, a giant cargo ship shaped like a shark. It has five floors of loot and a throne at the top, belonging to the new boss and Tier 100 skin, Megalodon. While the name isn't the most creative, he's a formidable foe. His POI is shark-themed, fitting his name, and sometimes he roams the map in a car.

Megalodon's Loot

Defeating Megalodon earns you a medallion that gives unlimited Nitro, boosting cars with endless fuel and giving players super speed. You can find more Nitro in Nitro Splash around the map, which enhances cars and players alike.

New Mythic Items

Megalodon drops powerful items, including the Mythic Nitro Fists, which offer incredible mobility and combat advantages. He also drops a Mythic Combat Shotgun, known for its high damage, and an exclusive vehicle with unlimited fuel and a grenade launcher.

Car-Centric Gameplay

Season 3 focuses heavily on cars, making it almost impossible to play without them. The Nitro Drone, a new arena POI, is designed for car battles with power-ups, ramps, and spinning blades. Another boss, Ringmaster Scar, drops a medallion that boosts damage and provides unlimited ammo, along with a Mythic crossbow called the Boom Bow, which is highly effective against vehicles.

New POIs and Bosses

The third major POI is Redline Rig, a refinery run by The Machinist, another new boss. Defeating her gives you valuable loot, including a medallion that constantly refills your shield. Her car, like Ringmaster Scar's, is powerful and comes with a unique design.

Vehicle Upgrades and Mods

Fortnite has reintroduced vehicle mods like cow catchers and chonkers tires, along with new attachments like bulletproof tires and weapon crates. A new type of vehicle, the Behemoth SUV, is also available, providing more customization options.

Fallout Collaboration

Season 3 features a major collaboration with Fallout. Players can find Nuka Cola, which provides 80 health and shield, and unlock iconic Fallout items like Power Armor and a Pip-Boy back bling.

Secret Outfit and New Skins

The secret outfit this season is Wastelander Magneto, fitting the apocalyptic theme. There's also a new skin, Bright Raider, a reskin of Bright Bomber with pastel styles.

Map Changes

The map has undergone significant changes. Snoody Steps is now Sandy Steps, partially buried in sand. The Southern Railway features a crashed steam train, hinting at future updates. New cacti offer health and shield when smacked and can even heal cars.

NPCs and New Items

Several new NPCs are scattered around the map, including former bosses now friendly unless challenged for their mythics. Large crates have doubled their spawn rate and now drop shields again. Season 3 will run until mid-August, giving players three months to enjoy and complete the battle pass.

Upcoming Content

Expect more exciting updates, including a Tri-Beam Laser Rifle, Lethal Company skin, and the return of the Flint-Knock. Stay tuned and enjoy the chaos of Fortnite Season 3!
