Fortnite Chapter 4 has been confirmed, and a plethora of new items and mechanics are headed to the metaverse along with it. While many users are not ready to say goodbye to Chapter 3 yet, the storyline waits for no one.
HYPEX, a well-known leaker, has presented a list of things that will be introduced to the game when Chapter 4 begins or gradually over the course of the first season. With that said, here are the top five things to look forward to in Fortnite Chapter 4.

UEFN and four other things to look forward to in Fortnite Chapter 4
1) Unreal Editor for Fortnite / UEFN (Creative 2.0)
Out of all the new things coming to Fortnite Chapter 4, Unreal Editor for Fortnite (UEFN) is the elephant in the room. This is one of the largest software updates coming to the game and will revolutionize the Creative mode. It's filled to the brim with new features that will allow creators to go above and beyond their current creative limitations.
As per the conversation that took place between veteran leaker HYPEX and Tim Sweeney, the update will go live roughly 45-50 days after Chapter 4 begins. Although the deadline has been extended a bit further, a few more days of waiting will not be much to endure.
2) New cosmetic type (Codename: Apparel)
A few days ago, HYPEX mentioned that Epic Games began working on a brand new cosmetic type called Apparel. While this may sound straightforward, there's no telling what Apparel means. Since Epic Games has a habit of using random words as placeholders, even the leaker is unsure of what the new cosmetic type could be.
With that said, a few users are under the impression that this may be the long rumored gun/weapons charms that are finally coming to the game. Considering that other competitive shooters already have this cosmetic item, having it in Fortnite makes a lot of sense. However, it'll be rash to jump to conclusions at the moment.
3) Rideable flying animals
In late September, it was brought to HYPEX's attention that the developers were working on rideable flying animals. With helicopters and planes featured in-game, having rideable flying wildlife wouldn't be too outlandish. Based on the information provided, players will be able to boost and idly glide while using flying mounts.
While this may be a stretch, with Avatar: The Way of Water due for release on December 16, 2022, the new rideable flying wildlife may be part of the collaboration with the franchise. More concrete information on this should start appearing in and around the first week of December after Fortnite Chapter 4 begins. Until then, players will have to use their imagination.
4) First-person mode
Another major highlight for Fortnite Chapter 4 is the first-person mode. Although there have been numerous ways to activate this in-game, it's never been official. Players often glitched into first-person from time to time, but they were not able to use the mode as and when needed.
With the first-person mode officially coming to the game, it'll be interesting to see if Epic Games has a dedicated mode for the new POV. That said, it's also unknown if this new POV will be limited to Zero Build, given that the normal mode has building mechanics that will be rendered unusable in first-person.
5) Motorcycles
Motorcycles were supposed to be added in-game to celebrate No Sweat Summer, but nothing happened in the end. Despite the item being worked on well in advance, it never made it to the island. Hopefully, it'll be in the vehicle pool at the start of Fortnite Chapter 4.
According to HYPEX, the vehicle will use the same animation as riding animals. It will feature two seats, boost, and drift, which will likely make it the ideal mode of transportation for the solo and duos modes.
