What's the theme of Fortnite Chapter 6, season 4?
The theme of Fortnite Chapter Six, season four is Shock ‘N Awesome, and focuses on stopping a massive bug invasion that has overtaken the island following the conclusion of the Chapter Six, season three live event. During the live event, Daigo summoned a massive kraken creature that was defeated by Superman, the Supernova Academy squad, and all players who attended.
This creature left behind a massive tentacle, which has now started to rot. Strange craters have since popped up around the tentacle, likely the gateway through which the bugs featured in the next season will arrive on the island.
What's in Fortnite Chapter 6, season 4?
The next season of Fortnite comes with new weapons, locations, skins, enemies, and much more that likely won't be revealed until the season officially starts. Here's a breakdown of everything we know about it so far.
- New battle pass skins – Megazord, a female Spartan from Halo, the green Power Ranger (Tommy Oliver), a Panda, a gamer girl, a fighter woman, and an OXR soldier have been revealed so far. There's one more skin on the battle pass that hasn't been revealed yet.
- New enemies – Bugs are taking over the island, giving us a new foe to battle with.
- New weapons and loot – A gun called the Swarmstike is the only officially named weapon that's been teased so far. We've also seen a new minigun, shotgun, and rifle.
- New locations – All new seasons come with at least a few fresh locations, and a few of them can be spotted in the background of the trailer and teaser images shared so far. We don't know where they will appear yet, but it's almost certain that Demon's Domain will be replaced, since this is where the bugs will likely spawn.
