A huge step forward. More gameplay depth, more content.
But for that, one system has to go.
SKILLS ARE GONE
We removed Skills as a standalone system and put something much deeper in their place.
AXES
The default Fortnite pickaxe is gone. 20 new axes take over, spread across six rarity tiers from Common to Divine. Every axe carries its own perks - strength, wood, coins, crit, big tree chance and more. The higher the rarity, the more it does. Choose wisely which one you swing.
NEW AREA - ATLANTIS
Area 6 is waiting to be conquered. Bigger numbers, corals to harvest, and three area exclusive Atlantis pets.
8 NEW PETS
Kraken, Temple Turtle, Pufferfish, Raccoon, Timber Bear and the Owl, who helps you track down pets to complete your album.
NEW SPECIAL AREA - AMBER VALLEY
A separate zone with its own currency: Amber. Unlocks at Rebirth 3.
Amber trees and wildlife take a fixed number of hits no matter how strong you are, so the Valley feels the same for everyone. Amber drops as a glowing chunk only you can collect.
Spend it at the Black Market on six boosts - crit, pet luck, rarity luck, big tree chance, rainbow tree chance and no coin loss on death. Two exclusive Amber pets wait there too.
Your Amber survives a Rebirth.
INFINITE REBIRTH
No more cap. Rebirth as often as you can to get stronger, with your first rebirth reachable shortly after the tutorial.
MISC
New skyboxes for every area, new VFX across the whole game, new hub signs.
Version 2.0 drops in the next few days.
