New Locations in Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 1 (v33.00 update) patch notes
Master the game with our Fortnite Interactive Map v33.00 here!
There are 18 new Named Locations for you to explore on the island. You will be able to vanquish the lesser demons laying siege to the grand structure of the Warrior’s Watch. If you feel not up to the task, you can train for combat duty at Flooded Frogs, or perhaps ascend the mountain peak to test your mettle against foes at Shogun’s Solitude.
Moving on from the ancient architecture, the dense commercial district of Seaport City will redefine close quarters. The Shining Span connects the district to neighboring villages such as Canyon Crossing; a quaint little cliffside getaway complete with competing bun shops.
Between the landscapes lies sacred ground such as the overgrown Magic Mosses with its obelisks and underground treasures. Nightshift Forest, also exists, where the sun does not shine. Watching over all of it is The Great Turtle, a venerable old soul, searching for its lost partner.

You will be able to dispel the spreading darkness by hunting the dangerous Shogun X; a powerful demon warrior that rampages across the island gathering spirit energy. Once you defeat Shogun X, you will obtain the Wanderer Medallion, which grants infinite stamina and invisibility while sprinting.
The Night Rose, whose spirit has been known to stalk those who enter her domain with surprise attacks from another realm. She drops the Night Rose Medallion on elimination, which makes your weapons reload themselves. Rather nifty to have in intense combat situations.
New Weapons in Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 1 (v33.00 update) patch notes

Lesser demons around the island will drop their masks of power when defeated. Use the Fire Oni Mask and launch homing flame projectiles to damage opponents, or teleport with the Void Oni Mask to reposition and outplay opponents.

New Movements in Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 1 (v33.00 update) patch notes
Chapter 6 adds Ledge Jump, Roll Landing, Wall Kick, and Wall Scramble to the core movement of Fortnite. These new movement features will be universally applied across Battle Royale, Reload, and Creator-made islands.
Ledge Jump
- Parkour! Jump while sprinting very close to a ledge, be it a cliff or a rooftop, and you’ll perform a Ledge Jump! Ledge Jumps will send you farther, allowing you to reach places you normally wouldn’t be able to. Hit a Ledge Jump with some speed for some serious hang time.
Roll Landing
- Keep it moving. Chapter 6 introduces Roll Landing, where holding Jump or tapping it just before hitting the ground while falling will cause you to do a barrel roll, restoring some stamina in the process.
Wall Kick
- Jumping against a vertical surface to your side while in the air will allow you to perform a Wall Kick! Wall Kicks will launch you off of walls in the direction of your choosing. Weave Wall Kicks into your traversal and combat maneuvers to keep your foes on their toes. You can mantle, hit a Roll Landing, or even perform another Wall Kick off of a Wall Kick!
Wall Scramble
- Jumping against a vertical surface in front of you will allow for a Wall Scramble! Reach that high ledge by taking a few big strides up a wall. If it’s mantle-able, you’ll mantle up automatically. Press Jump at any point while doing a Wall Scramble to perform a Wall Kick.
New Editing in Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 1 (v33.00 update) patch notes
Simple Edit is a brand new build setting you can toggle on in the Settings menu, which allows for editing builds with a single button press. The resulting edit is based on the part of the building you’re focusing on rather than being painted manually. Thus, it automatically executes building edits immediately, removing the step of selecting tiles altogether.
Simple Edit makes editing a breeze, and it should also prove helpful for players who are new to building in Fortnite or interested in learning. It allows for a smaller subset of edits to choose from, and masters of the current edit system will have more edit options available. We’ll be gathering data and feedback on Simple Edit and may make adjustments to the system in the future.
