Start a Ripple Effect in Fortnite Reload’s Slurp Rush Map
The sky crackles open on an all-new Reload map: Slurp Rush! Drop into this Slurp-packed island featuring familiar Chapter 2 locations. It’s live now with the v34.30 April 15 hotfix along with a rank reset and a fresh slate of weapons! (As fresh as the Slurp from Slurp Co… most of the time.)
Sippin’ on Some Slizzurp
The new island is an absolute Slurp haven, where you won’t find yourself reaching for Shield Potions as often thanks to the abundance of Slurp throughout. Slurp Rush will be featured as the sole Reload map for two weeks until it joins the map rotation with the v34.40 April 29 hotfix.
Slurpy Swamp
Slurp Co., the owner of Slurpy Swamp, has a spotty track record of contaminating nearby water sources. Thankfully, Slurp heals you, so it’s strictly an upside for the local nature!
Steamy Stacks
Slurpy Swamp isn’t the only factory in town. The updrafts from the Cube-powered Steamy Stacks are enough to send anyone flying, and not just from the smell. Nearby radiation levels are off the charts, helping save money on X-rays. (Doctors hate this one simple trick.)
Dirty Docks
Don’t expect to see a lifeguard on duty at Dirty Docks, a crate-filled industrial wharf littered with shipping containers, cranes, and spacious warehouses. Primary export: Slurp!
Reload Rank Reset
It’s time to refresh the ranks! You’ll need to play one Ranked Reload match to have your Ranked Reload rank revealed, and one Ranked Reload Zero Build match to have your Ranked Reload Zero Build rank revealed. Your beginning ranks will be based on your finishing ranks from the previous period.
As a reminder, players with Epic accounts that have never been used to log into Fortnite will have to complete a specific Quest (Outlast 500 opponents) before they can play Ranked.
Fuming Firearms
Pull up, we’ve got some weapons ready to be locked, loaded, and loaded again. Find them in Chests around any Reload map! And as always, keep your eyes peeled for Supply Drops and Loot Llamas to unpack higher-rarity versions.
Here are some of the additions to the loot pool starting today:
- Infantry Rifle
- Assault Rifle
- Hammer Assault Rifle
- Burst Assault Rifle
- Red-Eye Assault Rifle
- Mammoth Pistol
- Submachine Gun
- Stinger SMG
- Combat Shotgun
- Thunder Shotgun
- Maven Shotgun
- Dragon’s Breath Shotgun
- Hunting Rifle
- Bolt-Action Sniper Rifle
- Semi-Auto Sniper Rifle
Remaining, reloaded! You’ll find all of these weapons still in the loot pool:
- Tactical Assault Rifle
- Revolver
- Combat Pistol
- Combat SMG
- Pump Shotgun
- Tactical Shotgun
- Rocket Launcher
Not a weapon, but who knows, maybe you’ll also find a Jetpack 😉

Lead the way to Slurp Rush bravely. Log into Fortnite anytime from April 15 at 9 AM ET until May 6 at 9 AM ET to get Vanguard Zadie Quests, rewarding the Vanguard Zadie Outfit adorning the emblem of your highest achieved rank tier. The Quests also reward her Pickaxe and Back Bling:

Your highest rank tier across Battle Royale, Zero Build, Reload, OG, Ballistic, and Rocket Racing between now and any point in the future will determine the emblems you unlock for the Vanguard Zadie Outfit. For example, if the highest rank you reach is Diamond II in OG, then you’ll get the Diamond emblem for Vanguard Zadie and all the emblems before that.
