Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 1 brings us a new map, numerous fresh characters and much more to the world of Fortnite. We have all the details for you.
Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 1 is finally here and brings not only a brand-new map to the Battle Royale, but also new characters, weapons, and modes!
There are really a lot of new things... so let's dive right in!
Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 1: Map
The map has completely changed again with Chapter 5 Season 1, bringing some exciting new places. Probably the coolest thing is that there is actually a train track running through the entire island.
So, jump on and let yourself be driven across the map!

Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 1: New Gameplay Features
It also looks like the core gameplay is getting a bit of a shake-up. In Chapter 5 Season 1, there are the following major changes:
Customizable Cars
"Cars" is a new section in your locker. Cars consist of three types of locker items: Car Bodies, Decals, and Wheels. All players already have the OEM wheels from Rocket League in their locker! So customize your vehicle visually according to your preferences (Car Bodies, Decals, and Wheels do not give an advantage over other players).
New Vehicles
There's a new vehicle, the SUV Grandeur TrailSmasher! Drive it through the terrain and explore the island in your own way!
If you prefer a more relaxed ride, jump on the train and let yourself be chauffeured around the island.
Weapon Mods
The long-awaited weapon mods are finally in the game! Located in vaults are Mod Benches, which have mods available for many weapons in exchange for Bars. Add mods that reduce recoil, increase mag capacity, and more! Save up your Bars wisely, though, as not every mod works with every weapon.
Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 1: New Weapons
What would a new chapter be without new weapons? Of course, there are also some familiar weapons on the island.
Here's an overview of all the new weapons:
- Hammer Pump Shotgun
- Frenzy Auto Shotgun
- Nemesis AR
- Striker AR
- Thunder Burst SMG
- Hyper SMG
- Reaper Sniper Rifle
- Ranger Pistol
- Grapple Blade
- Cluster Clinger
- Ballistic Shield
We don't want to reveal more. Dive into the new chapter yourself! We're waiting for you in the Battle Bus!
