All the new items and vehicles coming to Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 1
One of the most notable reactions to Chapter 5 Season 1 is the Ballistic Shield, which lets players defend themselves against enemy fire while being equipped with a pistol to ensure a fighting chance.
While the Ballistic Shield will have infinite health, it's important to remember that enough continuous gunfire to the shield will lead to players losing their guard for a while. Additionally, players can charge enemies with the shield and even wear down building pieces by ramming into them.
Another new item coming to Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 1 is the Grapple Blade, a new mobility item that allows players to aim the blade at enemies or a hard surface and grapple toward it. When grappling an enemy, players can also attack with the blade to deal melee damage, adding a dangerous twist to the Grappler concept.
The Cluster Clinger is a new explosive coming to Fortnite, working like the classic Clingers with a twist. Players can throw a Cluster Clinger on a player or a surface, which leads to it popping out smaller explosives that will deal damage to enemies.
The new season also brings a rugged new vehicle: the Grandeur Trailsmasher SUV, which lets players explore the new Chapter 5 map off-road. Players can break away from the beaten track and discover hidden gems on the new map as they navigate the diverse landscapes on this vehicle.
In addition to the off-road SUV, trains are now a part of the Chapter 5 map, allowing players to traverse the landscape and battle for control of the vehicle.
These new additions will surely make Chapter 5 Season 1 memorable. Whether players are battling The Society or embarking on off-roading adventures, this season promises a thrilling and dynamic new era of Fortnite.
