The map has a corner for the snowy foothills of the mountains, as well as a forest with autumnal hues. There are also large areas of farmland. All these areas hold many secrets that players will have to discover.<\/p>\n<h2 data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\">New Battle Pass<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.dateks.lv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/2.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-26259 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.dateks.lv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/2.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.dateks.lv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/2.png 800w, https:\/\/blog.dateks.lv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/2-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/blog.dateks.lv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/2-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/blog.dateks.lv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/2-500x281.png 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\">Each new season comes with a new Battle Pass. Chapter 4 of Battle Pass features an updated UI (User Interface) and a new progression system. Players could unlock various skins earlier in the game, they will now have to reach the appropriate level to unlock the in-game cosmetics they want.<\/p>\n<h2 data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\">The new Crossover Skins<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.dateks.lv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/3.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-26262 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.dateks.lv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.dateks.lv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/3.jpg 800w, https:\/\/blog.dateks.lv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/3-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.dateks.lv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/3-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.dateks.lv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/3-500x281.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\">The trailer for Chapter 4 was the most likely to get fans talking about the new characters. We will eventually see all these character skins in the game itself, but at the moment it&#8217;s not clear when that might be. Some of the characters are particularly interesting:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Doom Slayer (Doom)<\/li>\n<li>Geralt of Rivia (The Witcher)<\/li>\n<li>Hulk (Marvel)<\/li>\n<li>Mr. Beast (YouTube)<\/li>\n<li>Deku (My Hero Academia)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\">New vehicle<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.dateks.lv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/4.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-26265 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.dateks.lv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/4.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.dateks.lv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/4.jpg 800w, https:\/\/blog.dateks.lv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/4-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.dateks.lv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/4-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.dateks.lv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/4-500x281.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\">Despite the medieval aesthetic of the map, vehicles are making a comeback this season, and among them is a newcomer &#8211; the dirt bike. There are also points awarded for doing tricks on the bike, so get out there!<\/p>\n<h2 data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\">New weapons<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.dateks.lv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/5.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-26268 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.dateks.lv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/5.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.dateks.lv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/5.jpg 800w, https:\/\/blog.dateks.lv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/5-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.dateks.lv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/5-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.dateks.lv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/5-500x281.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p data-pm-slice=\"1 3 []\">Chapter 4 introduces enough new weapons.

The full list of new weapons is as follows:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"ak-ul\">\n<li>Ex-Caliber Rifle<\/li>\n<li>Red Eye Assault Rifle<\/li>\n<li>Shockwave Hammer<\/li>\n<li>Tactical Pistol<\/li>\n<li>Twin Mag SMG<\/li>\n<li>Maven Auto Shotgun<\/li>\n<li>Thunder Shotgun<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Some weapons from the previous chapter have also been retained:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"ak-ul\">\n<li>DMR<\/li>\n<li>Assault Rifle<\/li>\n<li>Machine SMG<\/li>\n<li>Mechanical Shockwave Bow<\/li>\n<li>Mechanical Explosive Bow<\/li>\n<li>Primal Stink Bow<\/li>\n<li>Primal Flame Bow<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\">Other extensions<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.dateks.lv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/6.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-26271 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.dateks.lv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/6.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.dateks.lv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/6.png 800w, https:\/\/blog.dateks.lv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/6-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/blog.dateks.lv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/6-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/blog.dateks.lv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/6-500x281.png 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\">Fortnite introduces a power-up system that gives players powerful, randomly selected advantages every few minutes while they&#8217;re alive. For example, add-ons can create certain weapons, give unlimited fuel to vehicles or allow the renewal of certain types of ammunition.<\/p>\n<h2 data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\">The Ageless<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.dateks.lv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/7.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-26274 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.dateks.lv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/7.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.dateks.lv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/7.png 800w, https:\/\/blog.dateks.lv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/7-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/blog.dateks.lv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/7-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/blog.dateks.lv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/7-500x281.png 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\">Citadele, one of 4. In the new locations section, there&#8217;s a big castle tower with a new boss &#8211; Ageless, who has both powerful weapons and good fighting techniques!<\/p>\n<h2 data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\">Graphical improvements<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.dateks.lv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/8.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-26277 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.dateks.lv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/8.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.dateks.lv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/8.jpg 800w, https:\/\/blog.dateks.lv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/8-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.dateks.lv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/8-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.dateks.lv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/8-500x281.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\">The biggest changes for the new season, however, are evident in the fixtures. Fortnite chapter 4 is working on Unreal Engine 5.1. If you run the game on a platform that can run<em>(Nanite, Lumen, Virtual Shadow Maps, or Temporal Super Resolution<\/em>), the difference is immediately noticeable.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Yeah, I&#39;m totally sold on Lumen and Nanite. Shipping this in a 60 fps large scale multiplayer game&#8230;this is nuts.
