Aside from the fact that Android phone users have a great new reason to rejoice because Fortnite is finally and officially available on Google Play Store (it means that you no longer need to sideload an installer app via APK because you can now download it directly from the PlayStore), Fortnite fans also get a chance to embrace the new season of Fortnite Chapter 2. The highly anticipated Season 2 was released by Epic Games last February which offers an exciting agent-inspired theme along with a vast of wonderful new features that every Fortnite fan would enjoy.
Interestingly, Season 2 was supposed to end last month (April) but Epic recently announced that the current season will run until June 4. Although this is not the first time that Fortnite has pushed back the release of a season, it is possible and safe to assume that the delay was caused by the current coronavirus outbreak. Nevertheless, Epic announced that along with the extension, users can expect newly added features for the current season and that’s definitely something to look forward to.
So what really makes this current season worth exploring? Today, we are listing down the exciting details that you should expect from Fortnite Chapter 2 Season 2 and why this season should not be missed.
What’s New With Fortnite Chapter 2 Season 2
The new season which is entitled “Top Secret” will unleash the inner spy in you. This agent-themed season follows the events that occurred from the previous seasons. Here, we will be introduced to an all-new map and will also give birth to the so-called “The Agency” lead by King Midas. It turns out that most of the characters from the past seasons were actually working under the Agency. The agency, however, is divided into two factions, the Shadow and the Ghost. It is up to you which side would you like to be part of. Like many other previous seasons of Fortnite, the current season will give us a bunch of mysteries to solve which will eventually become clear as we progress.
The New Battle Pass Hideout
One of the things that will greet you in this current season is the newly-designed lobby. The Battle Pass hideout will give you access to all the challenges. Located in the middle of the Lobby is the “Challenge Table” along with all new characters (skins) added in this season. As what the title suggests, the Challenge table will showcase a virtual map of the island (you can only reveal the area in this map if you managed to discover them during your mission). It also shows a panel containing the list of challenges you can take. Some of which will ask you to explore a specific area and complete specific missions while others including the Local challenges can be completed anywhere.
New Areas to Explore
Of course, another great thing about the new season is the new map with new areas to explore. Compared to the previous chapter, the current one comes with a more exciting set of terrains. Of all the areas from the previous Chapter, Fortnite Chapter 2 managed to retain three iconic locations including the Salty Springs, Pleasant Park, and the Retail Row while the rest is entirely new. To top it all, the game also added special faction locations where you can meet all the featured Agents such as Midas, TNTina, Meowscles, Brutus, and Agent Skye.
Of course, let us not forget the fact that this new season comes with a new set of outfits to explore. Fortnite Chapter 2 Season 2 comes with nine unique outfits for those who can make it all the way to Tier 100. Maya is the first skin you can unlock (you need to buy a battle pass to obtain her and the rest). What makes Maya incredibly unique is the fact that you can customize here based on your own preferences. There are millions of possibilities for her character. Aside from Maya, players can also unlock Agent Peely on their very first tier.
Fortnite Chapter 2 Season 2 might take us to an all-new map and will introduce us to an all-new storyline but the game will remain faithful to its classic gameplay, the iconic battle royale. This current season comes with 12 modes to explore (excluding the Tutorial campaign). It includes the classic Solo where you explore the island alone and try your best to be the last player standing and the Duo Campaign where you will be paired to another player. The Squad Campaign allows you to play along with a group of players. You will be deployed on the island and you must try to help your team and be the last squad remaining.
There are many other things that are worth exploring and there are still many mysteries to solve and while we are all waiting for the new season to arrive, feel free to explore Fortnite Chapter 2 Season 2 and wait for other new upgrades to come.
Wonderfully, Fortnite is now available for both Android and iOS devices. You can download this amazing game absolutely for free. Just make sure you have enough space on your phone as the game requires more than 7GB to enjoy it to a full extent. Good luck and have fun!
