With a new trailer, Fortnite gives a taste of the “Battle Pass” skins in Chapter 5 Season 1. There is a brief glimpse of the map, focusing on the new skins, weapons, and new systems that you will try out.
What skins can I expect? In line with the server downtime, the trailer provides a brief overview of the skins that await you in the Battle Pass. Additionally, new weapons are demonstrated, many of which are newcomers. The following skins were spotted:
- Peter Griffin from Family Guy
- Solid Snake from Metal Gear Solid
- Underground Jonesy
- A tiger mercenary
- An agent with a golden mask
- An agent with sunglasses and short green hair
- An agent with sunglasses, black hair, and a ponytail
- An agent with a long white coat
Additionally, there are many styles that players can unlock over the course of the season for their respective skins. The skins were already revealed in advance through a leak, but the new gameplay trailer has confirmed the leak once again.
Here you can watch the gameplay trailer yourself:
Weapon mods, new parkour, and many new items
What else happens in the trailer? The trailer briefly touches on the story of Chapter 5. Jonesy discovers a hidden message underground that shows his banana buddy “Peely” has been kidnapped. With new weapons and his colleague, he plunges back into the chaos of the Battle Royale.
The trailer features new features such as:
- An expanded parkour system that allows players to even climb walls
- Weapons receive mods that adjust your weapons to your playstyle
- Additionally, a train is supposed to circle the Chapter 5 map, which can be hijacked and searched for treasures and items
Furthermore, new items such as a tactical shield and a grappler have been introduced. The shield blocks your shots and you can charge at your enemies with it.
The grappler, on the other hand, behaves like the one from the collaboration with Attack on Titan. Aim at a point and pull yourself towards it; if an enemy is nearby, you can additionally perform a strong melee attack to deal damage while swinging.
The map has not yet been shown in detail. The trailer reveals new locations and structures that resemble classic British buildings.
There will also be no shortage of cars, as they are back, for instance in the form of Lamborghinis. A cooperation between Fortnite and the car manufacturer is not known, but the trailer shows many Lambos with the brand name.
When does Season 1 in Chapter 5 start? We cannot say for sure. So far, many Fortnite fans are waiting for the upcoming live event, which is supposed to take place today at 8:00 PM German time with Eminem. It is therefore quite conceivable that on Sunday morning or noon, after a server downtime, the new content will be made available to you.
