It is worth knowing the new hunting ground of the capricious gods: here is the island map for Season 2 of Chapter 5 of Fortnite
We have already talked, for better or worse, about the various ones novelty introduced by Fortnite: Chapter 5 – Season 2but this time we would like to focus a little more on map. As we said previously, we are not faced with the delirium entailed by the passing of the baton between the various chapters, but this does not mean the various location inedite they must be taken lightly. It’s best to know right away what awaits you, especially if you’re only now playing the game and are afraid of facing players who already know every nook and cranny of the atoll in its latest incarnation. Let’s start with cartography before delving into the topic.
The island itself | Fortnite: Chapter 5, Season 2 – what’s new on the map
Let’s start from map, understood in a literal sense, because that of Fortnite: Chapter 5 presents four new locations among the locations of Season 2. Specifically, we allude to the surface world inspired by ancient Greece to the south-east of the island, while to the north-west there are the underworld . The new locations are, starting from the northwest, the Underworld (literal translation of “Underworld”, precisely the underworld, ed.), connected via the Styx to the Gloomy Gate of Cerberus. Colonne Cineaste is now called Comedian Columnswhile to the south-east you will find the Mount Olympus (high, yes, but less than you would think) and the Hound Battlefield. Once colored properly, everything will look like below. Be careful with the greatest number of highly elevated areasalways harbingers of fall damage.
Restart Stations | Fortnite: Chapter 5, Season 2 – what’s new on the map
If you are playing in pairs, trios or teams, it will be useful to know where the reboot stations. Usually we have never dedicated guides to this aspect of the gameplay, but it is always useful to know that you have a second chance so we will be happy to explain what to do in case of complete elimination of a companion. Among the other player’s loot, you should be able to find his reboot card. Once recovered, at the locations marked in blue below you should be able to bring the ally back into play. It is necessary to interact with the “ambulances” for a prolonged time, but the more players restart the same companion at the same time, the shorter the time required.
Unpublished gimmicks: Styx and challenges | Fortnite: Chapter 5, Season 2 – what’s new on the map
The waters of Increase they connect the underworld to the northwest of the island. If you’re even familiar with the 1997 feature film Hercules (or Kingdom Hearts II), you might expect to experience a poisonous influence just by immersing yourself in the greenish liquid. Nothing could be further from the truth. THE jade skulls that will revolve around you correspond to three aerial shots that you can take, without exposing yourself to any damage from falling. If you feel like it, by challenging Hades in the Underworld (once you defeat his Servants and then him) you will get the medallion to take rechargeable shots, paying for your price visibility on the map. By challenging the other gods you will obtain other powers.
Appearance of the Gods | Fortnite: Chapter 5, Season 2 – what’s new on the map
So let’s talk about these blessed medallions. L’aspect of the gods it gives you a different power but, as we have already said (and quoting the in-game notification verbatim), “the more medallions you have, the more precise the radius of your position will be”. You already know that Ade gives you the Underworld Dash, but what about the other three medals? Breaking down Cerberus (and his pet wolves!) in Cupo Cancello you will regain health with each elimination. Defeating Ares at the Mastiff Battlefield, you will then “prepare for war” by increasing the damage of long-range weapons. Zeusfinally, awaits you on Mount Olympus to instill greater speed and higher jumps… if you manage to emerge victorious, of course.
Weapons bunker | Fortnite: Chapter 5, Season 2 – what’s new on the map
What happened to the vault from last season? The good news is that they’re all there, and open by default at that! The bad news is that not only will you find less loot and ingots, but the mod banks they moved elsewhere. To be more precise, you will find them in the weapons bunker, which depending on the case may already be open or require the forcing of a medallion. The entrance requires going down a staircase accessible from a trapdoor like the one you see below. The bunkers are more claustrophobic than their predecessors, but the contents you could find are the same. Useful for spending as little time as possible underground, especially if the circle of the storm is closing!
SHADOWS Briefing | Fortnite: Chapter 5, Season 2 – what’s new on the map
As you will realize in the list of characters below, the fanservice for lovers of the second season of Chapter 2, the beloved (and, for the sake of the pandemic, long-lived) Top Secret, is certainly not lacking. Maybe it’s because the top of the Agency is literally called Whatbut almost all of his minions are closely linked to the season and that is why… the assignment boards have disappeared?! Well yes: in their place, now, there are called stations Briefing OMBRE. The Specter group’s enemy organization now has timed tasks tied (Cutor the former notice board; Lootinga treasure to be unearthed; Delivery of supplies, sole source of airdrops; In the end Vehiclewith which you can travel 500 meters aboard a Whiplash) at specific stations.
Non-player characters (NPCs)
We would have happily dedicated an entire guide to the fifteen non-player characters starting point of Season 2 of Chapter 5 of Fortnite, but we realized that to include all their locations on the map it would have dramatically lengthened the guide to seasonal news. And that’s why all of them will have their own personal mini-guide in the days to comebut we can give you their names in advancelist below. Remember that, for the rest of the season, with the increase of NPCs their location can change.
