This season is gearing up to be absolute chaos in the best way. Thorne has pulled off a slimy deal, stealing the island’s treasures and wealth, and creating a portfolio of real estate throughout the island to store his valuable loot.

These mega-mansions are heavily guarded by lasers, guards, and cameras, but with the new weapons at your disposal, exploring these locations to take back what’s yours will be a piece of cake… Or will it?
These bases are reminiscent of Stark Industries in Chapter 2, where players could visit the legendary location for themselves and battle robot guards, as well as Tony Stark himself, to loot all kinds of treasures.
New weapons have hit Fortnite, alongside the return of some older ones. Rocket Ram is a key item for taking on the bases which allows players to ride the rocket for a hasty exit- or fancy entry! Other new items include Heist Bags, which may contain all the necessary tools to pull off even the hardest of jobs, Crash Pad Jr, unvaulted Remote Explosive, Business Turret — a transforming briefcase that automatically locks onto nearby enemies and fires once thrown — and more.
Amongst the items getting a facelift, the island’s transportation has a new contender. The Nitro Fang by Victory Motors has landed and is ready to set your teeth clattering with its immense powerful speed and ability to do lock-tight turns.

Season 4 Battle Pass – what’s in it?
As for the battle pass, upon purchase, we gain the character Nolan Chance straight off the bat. Other Battle Pass exclusives include driver Piper Pace, Fish Thicc, Mae and more! Some of these skins are more questionable than the others (looking at you, Fish Thicc).
Further down the Battle Pass is where Khaby Lame appears in multiple outfits.
