What's New in Fortnite Season 4 Chapter 5?


Fortnite's new season isn't just slapping a Marvel skin on the game—Epic Games has rolled out a ton of new content to keep the action fresh and the competition fierce. Here's what's new:


1. New Mythic Weapons


Of course, probably the most intriguing element brought into this season is the return of Mythic Weapons, with a few brand-new things to change up the way you play. Let's take a closer look.

Dual Micro SMGs: These beautiful pieces are going to be your go-to for close-range combat. While, with a fire rate of 18, the damage output could stand to be a little lower with these SMGs, they more than make up for it by being capable of shredding through builds and walls with consummate ease. Perfect for applying pressure on opponents!

Monarch Pistol: This new Mythic weapon comes with headshot damage of 49 and body shot damage that is almost as high—think Deagle with a twist. This also means an added unique charge-up attack that will give enemies a heart attack.

Captain America's Shield: One of the most recognizable shields makes its way into Fortnite. It's more than a cosmetic item because it can be tossed in Zero Build and Build modes for defense or offense.


2. Points of Interest Updated


This season, the Fortnite map has truly changed, with new POIs popping up everywhere. Doubtless, one of the biggest locations this season is Doom's Castle. Placed on the north side of the map, this huge building surely stands out to any player gunning for high-tier loot and looking for some of the most challenging enemies out there.

Castle Doom—this towering fortress is not only pleasing to the eye but also full of chaotic energy that will turn around the whole course of any match. Whether fighting other players or the boss, you're sure to get some epic loot.

Rift Zones: Another cool feature included in the game is several rift zones across the map. These spots really bring the nostalgia with some of them tossing players back to even previous Fortnite seasons. They are great for surprising opponents who are not aware of what is happening or for emergency getaways.


3. Medallions and Game Mechanics


Medallions are the new collectible that comes in with major gameplay advantages. Here is the lowdown:

Siphon Medallion: This medallion provides you with health or shield on elimination and gives you the upper hand in those longer engagements. It's a game-changer to stay alive in high-pressure situations.

Stealth Medallion: This medallion activates with crouching to grant you cloaking abilities. The invisibility gets canceled when you fire your weapon, but it's really helpful in sneaking up on opponents or making that quick escape.

Medallion of Marking: This one marks nearby enemies for a short period, which is very useful in clutch situations.

Strategy Tips to Dominate Season 4 Chapter 5
Now that you know what is new, here are the strategy tips that can help you make the most out of Fortnite Season 4 Chapter 5:

Master the Mythics—Get familiar with the new Mythic weapons. The Dual Micro SMGs are great at close quarters, and the Monarch Pistol can be devastating at medium range. Mix and match these with other weapons to create the perfect loadout.

Explore the POIs: Spend some time getting to know the new POIs like Doom's Castle. You will not only find great loot but also get a feel for the lay of the land, which will help in battles by tactically giving you an advantage.

Medallions Wisely: Turn the tide of battle with medallions, but do it right. The Siphon Medallion will be perfect for rather aggressive players, while the Stealth Medallion can save lives for more cautious gameplay styles.
