In Fortnite: Battle Royale, Season 4 has started. Along with a new theme and a Battle Pass, there are a few secret things that not everyone has noticed. We show you 4 secrets from Season 4 – Chapter 2.
What is happening in Fortnite? On August 27, Season 4 started in Fortnite. This brought a huge collaboration with Marvel, as seen in the Season trailer.
Along with all the new superhero skins, the map has also changed and adapted to the Marvel universe. But are there any more changes that haven’t been noticed yet?
Secrets from Season 4
We show you some changes, innovations, and weapons that are now active with Season 4. You might not have noticed some of them yet, but it’s good to know so you can use them in your fight.
1. Secret Vault on the Starting Island
What is new? With the map changes, there is also a new starting island. You now start each round in Fortnite from the S.H.I.E.L.D. Helicarrier. But that’s not all, because there is a secret loot vault hidden there.
However, this cannot be opened because the keycard is missing. You can only get this from mini-bosses and currently, none of them are on the starting island.
So, we’ll have to wait and see what happens with this vault. Either a mini-boss will come to the starting island soon, or the Helicarrier will be added to the map.
2. Abandoned Henchmen from Season 3
What is new? In Season 3, you encountered many AI bots “the henchmen,” who guarded the mini-bosses, their mythic weapons, and the vaults. If you got too close, you would be attacked. But what happened to them in Season 4?
If you land at the Agency now, you won’t find any henchmen patrolling. Instead, you will find a lonely bot who apparently doesn’t know what to do anymore after losing his job.
But he is not completely alone, as there is also a henchman who has settled in Retail Row. You can find him in a room where he performs various emotes.
3. Pro Fishing Rod and New Fish
What is new? In Season 4, there is now a better version of the fishing rod and new fish that you can catch. The fishing feature was already introduced in Season 1 Chapter 2, but in this season it becomes even more exciting with the fishing pass.
In this pass, all the fish that you have caught are displayed. There are a total of 39 fish that you can discover and collect. Among them are special fish like:
- The Hop Flopper (provides zero gravity for a limited time)
- The Jellyfish (charges shields)
- The Spicy Fish (provides a speed boost for a limited time)
- The Thermal Fish (provides thermal vision for a short time)
Player ArcherypeLeeJow has created an overview of all the fish, where and at what time they can be found:
To make it easier for you to catch all these fish for your fishing pass, there is now a better version of the fishing rod. You can now upgrade any regular fishing rod to a Pro version. You do this easily at a workbench.
4. Strange Glowing Island
What is new? Aside from the map changes that came with Season 4, there is a glowing island near Lockie’s Lighthouse. The island is not large, and there is only 1 truck on it.
This location counts as a landmark on the map, but seems to have been “ripped” from another place. The road where the truck is located leads to Trask Industries. Perhaps a new location that will be added later?
A player shows the strange island on Twitter:
In Season 4, there are not only secrets to discover, as you can now dive into the world of Marvel. Whether you wear a superhero outfit from the Battle Pass, complete challenges, or try out the new abilities. In the latter, the bosses that you will soon find on the map will help you. You can already find Doctor Doom and benefit from his abilities.
