Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 2 Patch Notes Revealed
In Crime City, the hustle never stops.
Stick ‘em up! It’s time to blow that vault door wide open and make a… “withdrawal.” Ransack Fletcher Kane’s banks, take over his armored cars, even pull off a train robbery! The outlaw Midas returns with a new motley crew including wannabe hip-hop icon Big Dill, Cassidy Quinn, and more. There’s no such thing as honor among thieves in Fortnite Battle RoyaleChapter 6 Season 2: LAWLESS!
Rendezvous Views
The Island has been infused with an abundance ofBars, and now every opportunist is out to hit the jackpot including the ruthless crime kingpin Fletcher Kane. It’s every bandit for themselves in the ultimate race to get rich!
So where to look first? Here are some ideas:
Crime City
You’re sure to find mayhem in the seedy underbelly ofCrime City, the ultimate stomping ground for all manner of corrupt and crooked misfits. Make sure to visit the Hostile Hotel, Wise Guys Bookstore, and the Launder Mat for a full criminal excursion.
Outlaw Oasis
Unwind at theOutlaw Oasis, a high-end hangout luxury spa and resort where burglars typically relax and recover after a busy day of swiping huge hauls.
Shiny Shafts
You could rob one of Fletcher Kane’s banks for Bars… or you could go right to the source. His mining operation,Shiny Shafts, is a highly contested area above ground and below.
Lonewolf Lair
Security is tight around Fletcher’s mansion hideout,Lonewolf Lair. Anyone bold enough to challenge his growing empire is in for a fight!
Public Enemy #1
The baronFletcher Kanehas set up shop as the Island’s mob don, and his paws are in every pocket in town. He’s been known only to appear at the most inopportune moments. Namely, while you’re mid-heist.
Survive Fletcher’s barrage of claw attacks and you’ll be awarded with the MythicFletcher Kane’s Double Down Pistoland theUnstoppable Medallion. True to its name, this Medallion increases sprint speed and allows for bashing enemies while sprinting. As a reminder, Medallions make you visible on opponents’ mini-map. The more Medallions you have, the more precise the radius of your exact location — you’ve been warned!
The demon warrior Shogun X still wanders the Island, though his defeat now rewards theSuper Shield Medallion, which places down a Shield Bubble Jr. when using a self-healing item like a Med Kit or Shield Potion.
Pickle on the Beat
Big Dillis the newest rap artist on the scene in Fortnite. He’s a mean, green, hot-tempered outlaw aiming to be the grittiest gherkin in the jar. Big Dill & The Brat make up the dynamic duo known as the Tasty Bois. Their new single “Runamok”just dropped on Soundcloudand is available as a Jam Track in the Battle Pass.
Big Dill is robbing banks, launching music, and creating his own shoddy currency in-game: Dill Bits (more on that in a second). Who knows what he’ll do next… maybe launch a podcast?
Even the best heisters appreciate a how-to, so here’s what to expect in your malicious mission:
Feel the Rush
All that glitters is yours. Swimming in gold-infused water will put you under the effect ofGold Rush, which increases your speed, how fast your Pickaxe swings, and how much damage your Pickaxe does against structures. You can also gain Gold Rush by miningGold Veins, which can be excavated with your Pickaxe for Bars.
Big Dill is ballin' out of control thanks to hisDill Bitscoin, which has become even more valuable than Bars*. Typically sealed behind lock and key in vaults around the Island, Dill Bits don’t carry over from match to match, so spend them quickly before your wallet goes to zero! But, uh, to the moon!
*Big Dill has more arrest warrants than he does top 40 tracks, please do not take financial advice from a rapping pickle.
Money’s Meant to Be Spent
Spend your Dill Bits and Gold Bars at one of threeBlack Marketsaround the map, offering a selection of Mythic and Legendary items obtained in a totally legit way. Black Markets also offer Boons that’ll make your next break-in a breeze.
Kane, Train & Automobiles
Be wary, if gold moves in this town, you’d better believe Fletcher Kane knows about it. HisArmored Transportconvoys can be found transporting valuables around the map. Expect a fight with his henchmen if you’re planning to get inside one, but if you can wrestle control of the steering wheel, it’s yours to joyride in.
Raiding Fletcher’sArmored Trainpromises a lotta loot, though it’s well-known as the most dangerous job in town! Board the train and destroy its turrets to bring it to a screeching halt, then blow open the vault car with Thermite and you’ll be rewarded handsomely. Just, be careful — you’re likely to attract the attention of other players while carrying out this “transaction.”
A Boon of Boons
A new Season means a refreshed slate of Boons! Available only from Black Markets or Rare Chests this Season, Boons persist beyond elimination in the same match (meaning you’ll keep them if you get rebooted in the same match). Collect all five!
New, Nefarious Munitions
We haven’t gone over the new tools at your disposal yet. They’re great for getting into trouble… and staying there.
Items for Vault Busting
The ONLY way to crack a vault is withThermite, a powerful explosive found stashed away around the map. After you’ve planted some, you’re able to set off the explosion faster by damaging the vault’s weak points. ThePlasma Burst Laserworks great for this, as does theRocket Drillarriving later this Season in v34.10.
Items for Mayhem
Bars can’t buy the time needed to pull a heist, but theCollateral Damage Assault RifleandFalcon Eye Snipermight. And keep an eye out for the formidableOutlaw Shotgunwhich drops in v34.10.
Fancy yourself ambidextrous? Big Dill’s fave combo, the dual-wieldPump & Dump, arrives in v34.10 and will be your new close-to-mid-range best friend. Occupying a single weapon slot, hold a Pump Shotgun in one hand and an SMG in the other!
An Item for a Home Run Heist…
A favorite of ne’er-do-wells everywhere isThe Kneecapper, great for giving opponents a good ol’ fashioned whack. Wielding The Kneecapper reduces the Energy cost of sprinting and increases sprint speed and jump height.
Items for Watching Your Back
You’ll find new utility items around the map, such as the protectivePort-A-Coverand enemy-detectingPulse Scanner. Both are tremendously useful for holding off henchmen while you grab all the Bars you can find.
Henchmen and enemy squads interrupting your heist-in-progress? TheMed-Mist Grenadehelps heal in a pinch, andGold Splashgrants Gold Rush and heals 20 Health (or 20 Shield if you’re at full Health already).
Slay Frosty
Your enemies are about to be on thin ice. The cold-blooded cryomancer Sub-Zero has arrived on the Island and can be recruited to your cause! Be sure to pick upSub-Zero’s Kombat Kit, which empowers you to ice slide into opponents and unleash a flurry of frosty fists.
LAWLESS Battle Pass
Get ready for a notorious new look! The LAWLESS Season brings theLAWLESS Battle Pass, offering a wealth of Outfits and accessories.
