Fortnite's Chapter 6 Season 1, also known as “Demon Hunters,” has launched, bringing a wave of exciting new features that players are eager to explore. This season pivots the action to a stunning Japan-inspired map, as players face the threat of attacking demons (oni) while equipped with a variety of new tools and weapons that enhance the gameplay experience.
New Map and Points of Interest (POIs)
The vibrant new map is filled with unique locations for players to discover. Here are the new POIs where you can engage in thrilling battles or take a breather:
- Warrior’s Watch - Shogun’s Solitude - Foxy Floodgate - Burd - Nightshift Forest - Canyon Crossing - Masked Meadows - Hopeful Heights - Seaport City - Shining Span - Twinkle Terrace - Lost Lake - Whiffy Wharf - Flooded Frogs - Magic Mosses - Pumped Power - Demon’s Dojo
Each location offers strategic advantages and hidden treasures that can aid players in their quest to hunt down demons.
Exciting New Weapon Loot Pool
With this chapter, players will be pleased to find that all traditional weapons have reverted to hitscan functionality, simplifying the shooting mechanics by eliminating bullet drop. No more guessing ranges; your shots will fly straight and true!
The introduction of exciting new weapons includes:
- Holo Twister Assault Rifle - Fury Assault Rifle - Veiled Precision SMG - Surgefire SMG - Sentinel Pump - Twinfire Auto Shotgun - Oni Shotgun
In addition, the new Typhoon Blade melee weapon allows players to sprint faster and conserve stamina.
Players can also equip two distinct types of oni masks — the Fire Oni Mask, which enables fiery projectile attacks that lock onto targets, and the Void Oni Mask, granting short-distance teleportation capabilities.
New Vehicles to Navigate the Map
The return of the Rogue Bike motorcycle offers players speedy traversal options, and fans can also take advantage of the Void Burn car for some extra horsepower during their demon-hunting escapades.
Movement Mechanics Enhanced
Movement is pivotal this season, with four groundbreaking parkour-style moves added to diversify gameplay:
- Wall Scramble: Run up vertical walls and mantle onto ledges. - Wall Kick: Engage in a classic wall jump reminiscent of platformer games. - Roll Landing: Perform stylish rolls that refresh your stamina. - Ledge Jump: Launch yourself over long distances from ledges when sprinting.
Introducing Sprites: Your New Companion
Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 1 also introduces sprites, charming little creatures that offer unique benefits. They can create healing fountains or vortices for speedy travel. Return these sprites to their shrines for powerful boons, enhancing your reload or movement speeds.
New Medallions for Added Advantages
Two new medallions provide players with substantial advantages when taking down formidable minibosses. Defeating Shogun X awards the Wanderer Medallion, which makes you invisible while sprinting and grants unlimited stamina. Meanwhile, defeating Night Rose will earn you the Night Rose Medallion, allowing for automatic weapon reloads.
As Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 1 unfolds, players are invited to dive into the action, explore the new map, make full use of advanced weaponry, and embrace the enhanced movement mechanics. This season promises endless opportunities for excitement and strategy — don't miss out on the action!
