This crater features a number of Hop Rocks, a new item for Season 4.

The wait is finally over! After weeks of teases and speculation, Season 4 of Fortnite Battle Royale is here. Season 3 dropped several hints, including a comet streaking across the sky, and now, with Season 4 in full swing, we have the answers. Let’s dive into what’s new in Fortnite Season 4!

New Outfits for Season 4

One of the most exciting parts of every new season in Fortnite is the release of fresh outfits in the Battle Pass. Season 4 is no different, bringing a total of seven skins that embrace a superhero and supervillain theme—just as fans predicted. Here’s the list of skins you can unlock at various Battle Pass levels:

Battlehawk – Unlocks at level 1.
Carbide – Unlocks at level 1. Unlockable armor pieces at levels 10, 20, 30, 40, 65.
Teknique – Unlocks at level 23.
Zoey – Unlocks at level 47.
Valor – Unlocks at level 71.
Squad Leader – Unlocks at level 87.
Omega – Unlocks at level 100. Unlockable armor pieces at levels 25, 35, 45, 65, 85.

There are tons of cool skins to unlock, and while every outfit has its charm, Carbide and Omega definitely stand out.

New Harvesting Tools, Gliders, and Back Bling

In addition to the new outfits, there are also fresh Harvesting Tools, Gliders, and Back Bling to unlock. Here’s a rundown of the exciting new items in Season 4:

New Sprays in Season 4

A new feature for Season 4 is Sprays. You can now tag various objects around the map with spray designs, some of which you can earn or purchase. There are plenty of fun designs already, and more will likely be added as the season progresses.

New Cinematic Opening for Season 4

When you launch Fortnite after the update, you’ll be treated to a brand-new cinematic introducing Season 4. This cinematic can be skipped or rewatched later through the Replay Cinematic button in the Battle Pass tab. Here’s a quick summary: The cinematic shows several comets crashing into the island, with a solo and duo group reacting to the impacts.

Changes to The Map in Season 4

Hop Rocks. — There is now a larger crater at the location of Dusty Depot.

Now let’s talk about map changes. While the impact from the comet is significant, the most notable change is Dusty Depot, which has been replaced by Dusty Divot. The area now features a massive crater filled with Hop Rocks, which temporarily increase your jumping distance when consumed.

Locations of the smaller impact craters on the map.

In addition to the large crater at Dusty Divot, there are smaller impact craters scattered around the map. These craters are similar to the big one, but they contain fewer Hop Rocks.

Here’s an overview of where all the impact craters are located:

Dusty Divot (previously Dusty Depot).
Smaller craters dotted around the map (with fewer Hop Rocks).

New Season 4 Easter Eggs

With the changes to the map, there are now plenty of new Easter eggs to find while playing. These range from simple references to more story-driven elements. Here are a few notable ones I’ve found:

Super Villain’s Lair – Located in the west, between B4/B5.
Super Hero’s Lair – Found on the east, at coordinates J5/J6.
Green Screen – Found at Risky Reels (H5).
Underground Bunker – Beneath the blue house in Salty Springs.
Footprint – As shown in this Reddit post.
Jurassic Park Reference – Rex Loading Screen at Battle Pass level 12.

Season 4: Save The World

In addition to Battle Royale, Save The World mode has also seen new additions in Season 4. The highlight of these updates is the Blockbuster Event, which follows Spitfire and Lok as they investigate the comet’s impact and begin recruiting a team of superheroes.
