Pirates and their pure meme enemies, ninjas, have introduced their decade-old cyberfight to Fortnite with the launch of Season 8. Epic have as soon as once more reshaped the panorama of their free-to-play battle royale ’em up, sprouting a volcano sicking up lava. What I’m most to see, nevertheless, is the pirate cannons now scattered across the map, which gamers can use to fireplace boooring cannon balls or hop in themselves and fly with horrible damaging drive as a human cannonball. I’ll take that foolishness, thanks.
First, pirates vs. ninjas vs. fireman:
That lad’s the ‘Prisoner’, the hot-headed fella who kicked this entire volcano factor off when he escaped from his icy jail. Yes, Fortnite updates inform Saturday morning cartoon tales. With real-world weapons.
What this all principally means is that the map is reworked, with a honking nice volcano coming out like a giant zit within the North-East nook round the place Wailing Woods was and spewing a torrent of lava. Some previous locations are gone, changed with sizzling springs and mock-Mesoamerican ruins and a lagoon with a pirate city and ship. Volcanic vents spew sizzling air that may increase you up into the sky. The precise lava itself doesn’t harm that a lot, dealing one harm on a contact and bouncing you up.
Sadly, Season Eight is the top of the highway for my favorite Fortnite automobile, the procuring trolley. Also gone: the awful Stormwing airplane, the all-terrain kart, the Sneaky Snowman, and the Chiller Grenade. The increased tiers of assault rifle are extra uncommon too, although that’s extra a steadiness factor.
See the Fortnite v8.00 patch notes for extra on all of it.
A brand new Season means a brand new Battle Pass with new outfits and doodads for gamers to unlock. The paid Battle Pass has higher and extra stuff, as ever, although gamers did have an opportunity to earn it for free on the finish of Season 7. Here, this vid exhibits a few of that:
