Exploring the New Additions in Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 3: A Guide to the Jungle Biome and Beyond

Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 3: Jungle Biome, Transformers Crossover, and New Weapons

Epic Games has recently released Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 3, with several new features and improvements to the game. The new WILDS season brings with it a jungle-themed biome, new weapons and items, a Transformers crossover, and rideable raptors, adding more excitement to the game. In this article, we will delve into the patch notes for this new season, discussing the new features, and providing tips on how to best navigate this jungle-themed landscape.

Jungle Biome Takes Over the Map

The new jungle biome has taken over the center of the Fortnite map, providing players with many new areas to explore and jungle-themed features to discover. This season’s WILDS theme is evident in the design of the new map. However, most of the favorite locations from last season such as MEGA City remain intact, at least for now. The new jungle biome adds another layer of complexity to the game, requiring players to adjust their strategies when exploring the map.

Transformers Crossover

Every season of Fortnite comes with a major crossover, and this season, fans of the game are being treated to a Transformers: Rise of the Beasts collaboration. Players can unlock an Optimus Prime skin in the Battle Pass, and an Optimus Primal skin is available for purchase in the Item Shop. A brand-new Cybertron Cannon weapon is now available to try out on opponents. Players can also check the new Battle Pass for more exciting information.

Rideable Raptors

One of the most anticipated features of the season is the rideable raptors. Players can now jump on the back of a wild raptor and ride around the Island in Jurassic style; however, players should be careful since the raptors can bite. Alternatively, players can “nurture” one of the raptor eggs scattered across the map, which will hatch and automatically become theirs.

New Weapons to Add to Your Loadout

Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 3 introduces new weapons to the game, including the Thermal DMR with thermal vision, Flapjack Rifle with a spinning magazine, Kinetic Boomerang that can be thrown and recalled, and Cybertron Cannon, which launches a powerful explosive projectile. The Wildwasp Jar can be thrown at enemies to target them. Some of these weapons will frequently appear across the Island while others, like the Cybertron Cannon, will be harder to obtain. Players should search the map to find all the new weapons.

Grind Vines and Reality Augments

Grind vines, which were popular in Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 2, are being rebranded as grind vines. They function in the same way, allowing players to change direction and shoot their weapons while riding along them. Additionally, three new plants have appeared across the Island that can be shot to get the upper hand in battle. These include the Bomb Flower, Stink Flower, and Slurp Plant.

Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 3 also comes with new Reality Augments that players can unlock. These augments include the Primal Companion, Wildwasp Weaponry, Sprint Lines, Shell Slide, Swift Shotgun Reload, Reckless Rifle Reload, and Medium Ammo Acquired. Players can brush up on how these work in our Reality Augments guide.

Conclusion

Overall, Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 3 is an exciting time for fans of the game. With the addition of a jungle biome, rideable raptors, and new weapons to add to your loadout, players will have to adjust their strategies to survive. As with every season of Fortnite, players should take their time to explore the new map, discover new items, and try out the new features. Good luck, and enjoy the WILDS season!
