What’s New in Fortnite Battle Royale Chapter 4 Season 2: MEGA
Become MEGA in Fortnite Battle Royale Chapter 4 Season 2. Ride the grind rails of “MEGA City” and swerve on its streets on a sports bike. Go beyond the neon towers to the rest of the new biome: cause Havoc at “Steamy Springs,” drive a Nitro Drifter to the "Drift Ridge" car track, sharpen your Kinetic Blade skills at “Kenjutsu Crossing,” and more!
Mega Fast
New city, new streets, new vehicles:
Victory Crown Rogue
Be a flash of light. This two-person sports bike features high acceleration, sharp turning, and a boost-ready engine. Also known as the “Rogue Bike.”
Nitro Drifter
Want a car instead? Get in this four-seater and use its handbrake to drift ‘round the bend.
Vehicle note: The Dirt Bike vehicle, Chonkers Off-Road Tires vehicle mod, and Cow Catcher vehicle mod are vaulted in Battle Royale in v24.00.
Mega Ready
Go melee or ranged with Chapter 4 Season 2’s new weapons:
Kinetic Blade
Acquire one of these katanas and perform the artful Knockback Slash. Not holding back? Show no mercy and perform the devastating Dash Attack. The Dash Attack has three charges that enter a cooldown upon use.
Havoc Suppressed Assault Rifle
Silenced, highly accurate, and fully automatic, take up this weapon to give a new meaning to “mega”: it’s not always bold and brash, it’s sometimes cool and confident. (Get the Mythic version from defeating the boss “Highcard”...)
Havoc Pump Shotgun
Like bold and brash better? Make a scene with this high-damage Shotgun. (Find the Mythic version from Vaults requiring Keycards…)
Overclocked Pulse Rifle
Obtain this new Mythic Pulse Rifle from… a POI rifting in?
Mega Classic
MEGA City may be futuristic, but it’s still open to these unvaulted weapons:
Heavy Sniper Rifle
Cobra DMR
Dragon’s Breath Sniper
Combat Shotgun
All Heisted Exotics
Mega One-derful
In addition to new and unvaulted weapons, wield these Chapter 4 Season 1 carryovers:
Maven Auto Shotgun
Red-Eye Assault Rifle
Twin Mag SMG
Tactical Pistol
Chug Cannon (Technically not a weapon but looks like one)
Mega Effective
In Chapter 4 Season 2, Slurp Juice is now Legendary-rarity, restoring A LOT of Health and Shield fast. It also restores Health and Shield at the same time. Drink it before combat to help you come out on top! Find Slurp Juice from Keycard-requiring Vaults, a POI rifting in, or “Combat Caches.”
Mega Assisted

Dumpster Diving
Loot will spawn nearby when you leave a hiding place. Can occur once per hiding place.
Treasure Hunter

Your weapons using medium ammo will have an increased magazine size.
Shotgun Recycle
Weapons using Shotgun ammo have a chance not to consume ammo.

Mega Masterful
The streets aren’t the only way to get about MEGA City. Jump on its grind rails then skate around the buildings and your enemies. Even use your weapons as you ride!
Mega Mellow
Need a break from urban battle? Step foot on the fresh, teal-tinted grass of MEGA City’s surroundings. This city isn’t the only new location in Chapter 4 Season 2 — it’s just one part of a brand new biome! Here’s a preview of this southeast addition to the Island:
Environment note: Snowballs, boars, wolves, crows, and frogs are vaulted in Battle Royale in v24.00.
Mega Cyber
MEGA City isn’t the only futuristic city around. In the Cyber City Callout, we challenged island creators to create dynamic islands set in a cybernetic future. Little did these creators know, MEGA City was the inspiration! If you can’t get enough urban ambience, check out the Cyber City Discover row and jump into a curated selection of metropolises. The Cyber City Discover row will be live until March 26, 2023, at 9 AM ET.
