Another new season of Fortnite content is upon us, and this time we’re being plunged into the aftermath of a post-apocalyptic event. It’s time for Agent Jones and the rest of the Foundation to take on the wilderness of this new biome, which brings with it some major new changes and a stack of new content. Here’s everything new in Fortnite Chapter 2, Season 6.
Changes to the Map
Everything New in Fortnite Chapter 2 Season 6
Chapter 6 has made some major changes to Fortnite’s map, though only at its very center — the Zero Point of the mysterious pulse which has radiated in different directions, turning them back in time to a primal era where modern technology cannot function.
There are four new points of interest: The Spire, Primal Pond, Colossal Crops and Boney Burbs. Some familiar locations, such as Weeping Woods, have also been tweaked to fit within the new aesthetic. Basically, any location on the map which falls within the new biome has been altered.
As with previous seasons, you’ll need to go and re-discover these new locations before they appear on your map. Just head to the new biome and explore.
Crafting & Wild Creatures
Everything New in Fortnite Chapter 2 Season 6
Within the new biome are new wild creatures that will attack players on-sight. These range from feisty chickens to fearsome wolves, and they can be hunted for raw materials. In turn, these materials are used for crafting.
New animals in Chapter 6 include the following:
- Frog
- Chicken
- Boar
- Wolf
There are also two new fish: The Cuttle, and Stink Fish.
That’s right, in Chapter 6 you won’t just be looting weapons and items but crafting them from scratch yourself. Crafting materials include:
- Stink Sacs

Primal Battle Pass
Everything New in Fortnite Chapter 2 Season 6
As you’d expect, there’s a brand new battle pass to sink your teeth into for Chapter 6. This includes a whole stack of new cosmetic items to grind for, from character to weapon skins, umbrellas and backblings to wraps and contrails.
The theme for character skins revolves around members of The Foundation, as well as iconic characters from across pop-culture. The latter includes Lara Croft, the Xenomorphs from the Alien franchise, and even soccer star Newmar Jr, who will unlock later this season.
