Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 1: Underground has arrived and it comes with a ton of changes and additions, including a new island, a train that goes all across the map, weapon mods, over 1,200 LEGO Style outfits, bosses, a new Battle Pass with Peter Griffin and Solid Snake, and much more.
This new chapter in Fortnite is all about taking the fight to 'The Society' by joining 'The Underground.' You must do all you can to not only take down a group of bosses led by Valeria, but also rescue our beloved Peely from their clutches. Oh, and if you thought Valeria was tough, wait until you go against Family Guy's Peter Griffin, who is amazingly also a boss alongside Oscar, Nisha, and Montague.
Defeating bosses will gain you a Society Medallion, and this item can regenerate your shield as long as its in your inventory. The more medallions you have, the faster your shield will regenerate. Be careful though, as the more medallions you have, the more percise the radius of your exact location will be to your enemies.
As for the new map these bosses call home, some of the new POIs include the classy Ritzy Riviera marina, the abandoned Rebel's Roost mansion, the Grand Station at Reckless Railways, the high alpine Hazy Hillside village, the elaborate Grand Glacier Hotel, and much more.
Speaking of Grand Station at Reckless Railways, this is just one stop of the new train that will be able to take players to different parts of the new island. However, don't think it will always be a peaceful trainride as battles can and will happen aboard, so stay ready!
Some of the biggest new additions to Fortnite were introduced in The Big Bang event that led into the start of Chapter 5: Underground, and they include LEGO Fortnite, Rocket Racking, and Fortnite Festival.
These are new games that will live inside Fortnite and will give players brand-new experiences to enjoy alone or with friends. LEGO Fortnite is the first of these and is a survival crafting game that will become available on December 7.
As if that wasn't enough, over 1,200 existing Outfits will now have a LEGO Style in addition to their regular Fortnite Style, and these can be used in all upcoming LEGO experiences inside the game. The Outfits will be added to your Locker automatically and will be gifted to you at no extra charge. Certain Emotes will also get the LEGO treatment.
Your locker just got a whole lot bigger.
