Fortnite Map Changes In Chapter 6 Season 2
The new Fortnite map is here, giving the island a GTA-like makeover with several tightly-packed city elements, Black Markets to shop at, and new vehicles driving around with lots of loot up for grabs.
In this guide, we'll show you the new map, its places of interest (POI) you've not seen before, and show you which parts of last season's island are coming back mostly intact. First, let's take a look at those new POIs.
Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 2 map and new named locations
This season, the new named locations are centered around the west coast of the island, mostly situated in the center portion of that coast. From north to south, the new POIs are:
- Lonewolf Lair
- Shiny Shafts
- Outlaw Oasis
- Crime City
Crime City will give the season a vibe akin to past cityscape POIs seen both last season, with the returning Seaport City, as well as the fan-favorite Mega City from Chapter 4.
Shiny Shafts are likely where players will locate many of the gold veins, which can be struck with a pickaxe to collect the Gold Rush effect, as explained in our Chapter 6 Season 2 overview.
Lonewolf Lair, meanwhile, sounds like it's the lavish home to this season's Big Bad--who just so happens to literally be a big, bad wolf, Fletcher Kane. You can see him and other characters in our Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 2 battle pass gallery.
Outlaw Oasis sounds like it'll be the hub for the anti-heroic heist crew that rounds out most of the battle pass lineup. The good guys need their haven too, after all.
Returning locations in Chapter 6 Season 2
With these four new spots taking up real estate, that gorgeous purple forest of last season is gone, but many other dazzling locales remain. Here are the returning spots from northwest down to southeast:
- Whiffy Wharf
- Flooded Frogs
- Magic Mosses
- Pumped Power
- Demon's Dojo
- Brutal Boxcars
- Foxy Floodgate
- Seaport City
- Shining Span
- Shogun's Solitude
- Canyon Crossing
- Masked Meadows
- Hopeful Heights
- Kappa Kappa Factory
Like other recent chapters that have maintained a distinct overarching inspiration, it seems Chapter 6 will cling to its Japanese inspirations even as each season tends to bring seismic shifts one region at a time.
New sights and sounds of Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 2
As always, it's not just about the new places to go on the Fortnite island, but also the new things to see and do there. This season's Fast and Furious-like ambitions bring a lot of high-stakes action to the island.
Armored Transport convoys can be seen moving high-value loot from A to B in each round, and it's up to you and your fellow crooks to decide if or when to yank it from the unsuspecting drivers. You can even hijack the armored trucks themselves, which should provide a nice buffer between you and the dozens of other players on the island.
Even the train has been outfitted with armor, giving the past train loot stashes more of a neo-western aesthetic now. You'll need some of the new Fortnite weapons in Chapter 6 Season 2 to pull off these major loot hauls, not to mention a disciplined team by your side.
For a better look at some of this season's new locales and sights to see, keep scrolling.
