For several weeks prior to the update, rumors about a new jungle biome coming to Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 3 were going around. They turned out to be accurate, as players can now visit a jungle in the map's middle.

Anvil Square is gone, along with a few other landmarks. Epic Games has added three new named locations to Fortnite's island, with Rumble Ruins to the jungle's south, Creeky Compound in its middle, and Shady Stilts to its north.

The new biome looks amazing and has several shrines players can visit.

The Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 3 Battle Pass looks incredible. It has many different characters, from Optimus Prime to a new version of Meowscles. Besides skins, this BP's new progression system includes many other cosmetics and bonus rewards.

Here are the eight skins that can be unlocked from the new Battle Pass:

Era
Trace
Rian
Lorenzo
Mariposa
Relik
Optimus Prime
Purradise Meowscles

All these items come in multiple styles, which makes them look even more attractive. Furthermore, Epic Games will likely release super styles for all of them within the next few weeks.

New weapons are fantastic

With the release of the new Fortnite season, Epic Games has added five new weapons and many other items. Something that has caught a lot of attention is the Cybertron Cannon, a powerful Mythic weapon.

Besides this item, here are the other new weapons that were added with Season 3:

FlapJack Rifle
Thermal DMR
Kinetic Boomerang
Wildwasp Jar

The Drum Shotgun has been unvaulted as well and now has a Mythic variant. Additionally, Epic has also brought the Combat SMG back.

Another thing worth noting is that the Wildcard boss is still available. He drops a Vault keycard that can be used to access vaults with high-quality loot. This includes the FlapJack Rifle's mythic version and many other fantastic items.

New Reality Augments

Reality Augments have been a big part of Chapter 4, which is why it's no surprise that Epic Games has added new ones in the fresh season. Seven perks have come out with Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 3, and most of them are incredible.

Here is a list of all the new Reality Augments:

Primal Companion: Gain thermal vision and regenerate Health while riding animals.
Wildwasp Weaponry: Receive some Wildwasp Jars and gain an additional one with every elimination.
Spring Lines: Gain a Slap effect upon using grind vines, grind rails, ziplines, or Ascenders.
Shell Slide: Gain Shotgun shells while sliding.
Swift Shotgun Reload: Your Shotguns will reload faster.
Reckless Rifle Reload: Your Assault Rifles will reload significantly faster when the magazine is empty.
Medium Ammo Acquired: Instantly gain medium ammo, then obtain more when you open containers.

Considering that fans are in the early stages of Season 3, it won't be surprising if Epic Games nerfs or buffs some of these new augments very soon. Additionally, several of them may be removed from this game as well.

Job boards

Many Fortnite players use Bounty Boards as their primary source of gold. Unfortunately, these were removed in the last few weeks of Season 2. However, Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 3 has brought them back!

Bounty Boards are now called Job Boards, and they allow players to pick one of three jobs, including a bounty. Each undertaking grants 100 gold.

Milestones are different in Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 3

Epic Games has decided to rework Milestones in Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 3. They are now split into three different categories: Combat, Challenge, and Exploration. Each of these has its own Milestones.

For example, the Combat category requires players to damage, eliminate, outlast, or headshot opponents. These Milestones are randomized at every stage and grant 2,000 XP each.

Additionally, there is an XP bonus of 30,000 for every five stages. Due to this, players get approximately 8,000 XP per completed Milestone stage.

New movement mechanics

Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 3 has brought four new mechanics to this video game. The jungle has several vines that can be used to quickly move around the island, similar to Grind Rails in Mega City.

The new biome has also brought mud, which can be used to gain a speed boost and camouflage. These effects can be achieved by simply sliding in the mud.

Epic Games has also added many ascenders and Hop Flowers to the jungle. These can be used to get atop trees and surprise unsuspecting enemies.

Finally, it is now possible to use vegetation to your advantage. Shooting a Bomb Flower will cause it to explode, while a Stink Flower will produce a toxic gas cloud. Lastly, Slurp Plans can be hit with a pickaxe to restore health.
