In Fortnite: Battle Royale Season 7 is finally here and it has the potential to rock Fortnite like never before. These 5 highlights are sure to contribute significantly.
Season 7 is different in many ways from the previous 6. This is primarily due to the sheer amount of changes involving airplanes, a significantly larger map, and unprecedented customization options.
This is why Season 7 is something special!
In the following paragraphs, we will introduce you to the five most significant innovations in Season 7. These highlights make Season 7 something special.
Airplanes
What exactly are airplanes in Fortnite? Airplanes are a completely new vehicle in Fortnite. They are biplanes that allow you to zoom through the skies. Additionally, the planes come equipped with a machine gun that can fire indefinitely as long as it does not overheat. Up to 4 passengers can also join the flight.
What’s so cool about airplanes? First of all, airplanes are the first flying vehicles in the game. They also have the highest passenger capacity and are armed. This has not been the case before.
With the airplane, Fortnite becomes a completely different game, as you can be shot at from the air at any time by a pilot. And in the air, daring pilots engage in wild dogfights.
The landing spot for the planes at Frosty Flights should always be heavily contested, as there are only a few airplanes, and whoever has one has a significant advantage. At least until the first counters to airplanes are established.
Completely new map area
What exactly has changed? The familiar Fortnite island has been expanded with a new ice biome and 3 new locations. Additionally, old locations and the entire terrain have been significantly altered. There’s also a new mode of transportation.
What’s so cool about the new map? The best part about the new map is that it is really a kind of new map! Because up until now, changes have only rearranged the existing land masses. The most drastic changes were the transformation of Moisty Mire in the southeast into Paradise Palms and the transformation of Loot Lake in Season 6.
With the iceberg, even more land has been added to Fortnite, and with the locations Polar Peak, Happy Hamlet, and Frosty Flights, three interesting new POIs have been introduced.
In return, familiar places like Greasy Grove and Flush Factory have completely disappeared and are unrecognizable.
Item Paint Jobs
What are paint jobs? These are a new form of item customization. You can set the paint jobs for each type of weapon (shotguns, pistols, assault rifles, etc.) and for vehicles in your locker. When you find such an item, it will have the color or pattern you set with the paint jobs.
Why are paint jobs cool? With the paint jobs, you can further enhance your style. While you cannot create completely custom weapon skins like in Call of Duty, you can finally roam around with a bright red assault rifle or Christmas camouflage on the SCAR, making Fortnite even more colorful.
More customizable skins than ever before
What skins are available? In the new Battle Pass, there are seven new skins. Among them, four are customizable. In Season 6, there were only two. The customizable outfits are the two level 1 skins Lynx and Zenith, Sergeant Winter, and the Ice King.
What’s so great about the customizations this time? Customizable skins are always cool as they provide an additional reward effect and incentive to play. In Season 7, however, you level each skin differently. Only Lynx and Zenith can be upgraded with experience points.
Sergeant Winter levels up via completed daily challenges, and the Ice King only changes when you survive numerous opponents. A welcome change from the constant XP grind of previous seasons.
New Story
What is known about the story? After the somewhat annoying endless confusion surrounding the purple cube from previous seasons, something new has finally happened in Fortnite. There’s an ice area with a mysterious castle, an evil Santa Claus, robots, and a dark Ice King.
What’s so great about the new story? The new story is largely unknown, which makes it special. There’s something new to unravel and numerous clues to follow. The new area is vast and full of mysteries.
What’s the deal with the ice castle? Why is there a submarine on one of the peaks? What does the base have to do with the logo of the robot A.I.M. and what has happened to Durrr-Burger since it was engulfed by ice?
Will the ice melt over time and reveal a dark secret? And what the hell does the butterfly event from Season 6 have to do with it? It’s going to be more exciting than ever.
