Fortnite is surprisingly still one of the most commonly played games across all platforms<\/a>. While the hype around it has fallen off very noticeably, the game still has a huge player base. This is all thanks to the new events and other additions that are regularly made, as well as the crossovers with characters from highly popular comic books, movies, and even other video games. As you would expect, a lot of awesome stuff has been added to Fortnite yet again with the introduction of the Season 5 update. Here is a summary of all the major additions to Fortnite, along with a summary of the changes and effects that said additions will have on the game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

New Cool Stuff Added In Fortnite Season 5 Update<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

1. Help for Hire, and Rewards<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the biggest changes introduced to Fortnite in Season 5 is the help to hire mechanic. This mechanic basically allows players to accept missions\/quests while playing the battle royale mode as they normally would play it. These quests require players to perform all sorts of specific tasks. They add a lot more to the game. This was definitely a well-needed feature that makes the game feel fresh again and keeps players occupied while they aren\u2019t in combat or running for their lives while the storm approaches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Upon completion of a Help for Hire quest, players will receive rewards in the form of Bars. These Bars can be used to buy a number of different things while in a match, including some really great weaponry and other bonuses which can give you a huge advantage against other players. Eliminating other players and finding stashes that are hidden all across the island is also another way to earn these Bars if you aren\u2019t interested in completing missions. All in all, this is certainly a great addition to the game which it really needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. New Weapons<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As you would very obviously expect from a multiplayer shooter, especially one like Fortnite, new weapons have been added to the game following the release of Season 5. A majority of these new weapons are very good and are definitely worth trying out. In fact, some of them might even be good enough to replace your current favorite gun as the number one on your list. One of the main ones is of course the Dragon\u2019s Breath shotgun which was added to the game, and calling it just powerful is an understatement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Dragon\u2019s Breath shotgun is a weapon that is capable of completely devastating enemies. If your aim is great, you can even take out enemies in one or two hits from up close. But this immense power obviously comes at a price. The Dragon\u2019s Breath shotgun fires 4 shotgun shells every single time you fire, meaning that it eats away through your ammo. One of the main reasons why this is such a downside is that shotgun ammo isn\u2019t exactly the easiest to found, at least not in huge amounts. But once you get the hang of using it, this new shotgun is one of the best weapons in the game. Another addition is the new rifle which has been pulled straight out of Star Wars. This is of course the Amban Sniper Rifle from the Star Wars franchise, and it\u2019s certainly a well-rounded weapon. Not only does it have considerably great range and decent damage, it also has an attachment which is great for melee damage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. New Battle Pass (And Skins, Obviously)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking of Star Wars, there\u2019s obviously a lot of new skins coming to the game with the introduction of the new battle pass in Season 5. One of these skins also happens to include a skin which allows you to transform your character into Star Wars character the Mandalorian from the highly popular Disney+ series of the same name. This skin also features his adorable companion Grogu, much more popularly known as Baby Yoda. Like this, there\u2019s lots of other cool skins as well, but it must be said that the Mando skin definitely stands out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But there is one new skin added recently at the beginning of Season 5 which arguably stands out even more. This refers to of course, Kratos himself, the highly popular brute from the iconic God of War franchise. Kratos\u2019 inclusion in Fortnite raised quite a few eyebrows on social media, but Fortnite players definitely love it. This crossover with The Mandalorian and God of War is just another example of how great Fortnite is at marketing and keeping itself alive ever since its release. Other than this, the battle pass contains the usual things that it always does, such as weapon skins, emotes, and more of the sort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Story Elements<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even with the inclusion of all these great things, the most important and most awaited new additions Fortnite in Season 5 are definitely all the new story elements. At the end of the previous season, we saw a devastating event across the Fortnite map, for which Marvel supervillain Galactus was primarily responsible. In fact, this devastating event is actually what\u2019s led to the inclusion of both Kratos and Mando in Fortnite.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Season 5 is called Zero Point, and it features bounty hunters from many different alternative realities, including Mandalorian from the Star Wars universe. All these different bounty hunters have joined forces and are set to fight something known as the loop. The loop will be further elaborated on along the lines by the looks of it, as we don\u2019t know much about what this is. While the previous season mainly featured characters from the Marvel comic books, we now have a much larger variety of characters from all sorts of different worlds. That\u2019s about it for the most important stuff you need to know regarding Season 5. There are some balancing changes and minor bug fixes as well, which will certainly have a positive effect on the game. <\/a>Season 5 is certainly exciting and intriguing, and it\u2019s finally out right now which means you can dive into it straight away.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
