Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 2 Patch Notes Overview

In the dynamic landscape of Crime City, opportunities abound at every corner.

Get ready to make bold plays as you attempt to breach vaults and score big! Engage in exhilarating activities like raiding Fletcher Kane’s banks, commandeering armored transports, or even executing daring train heists! The legendary outlaw Midas returns alongside a diverse crew featuring the up-and-coming musical artist Big Dill, along with Cassidy Quinn and others. Chapter 6 Season 2: Lawless kicks off the ultimate showdown among thieves!

Gathering Treasure: Key Locations

The island is now overflowing with Bars, attracting the attention of notorious criminals like Fletcher Kane, creating a fierce competition to amass wealth. Where to start your treasure hunt? Here are some promising locations:

Crime City

Venture into the chaotic realm of Crime City, the go-to hotspot for unsavory characters. Key spots worth visiting include the Hostile Hotel, Wise Guys Bookstore, and Launder Mat.

Outlaw Oasis

Need a breather? Relax at the Outlaw Oasis, an upscale spa where thieves unwind after a day filled with thrilling escapades.

Shiny Shafts

If you’re on the hunt for Bars, consider raiding one of Fletcher Kane’s banks, or better yet, hit his contested mining operation at Shiny Shafts.

Lonewolf Lair

Fletcher’s hidden mansion, known as Lonewolf Lair, is heavily fortified. Anyone daring enough to challenge his empire will face fierce resistance!

Meet Your Rival: Fletcher Kane

The infamous Fletcher Kane rules as the mob boss of the island and is always lurking at the most strategic moments—specifically during heists.

Surviving his relentless attacks could reward you with the coveted Mythic Fletcher Kane’s Double Down Pistol and the Unstoppable Medallion, which boosts sprint speed and enables melee attacks while on the run. Remember, collecting Medallions makes you visible on opponents’ mini-maps—beware of your surroundings!

The Rise of Big Dill

Big Dill, the latest rap sensation on the scene in Fortnite, is on a mission to become the toughest gherkin in the jar. Teaming up with The Brat, they make up the dynamic duo known as the Tasty Bois. Their new track “Runamok”is already making waves on Soundcloud and features as a Jam Track in the Battle Pass.

Plan of Action: How to Conquer

As even the best heisters will tell you, here’s what to anticipate during your next mission:

Power Up with Gold Rush

In pursuit of victory? Immerse yourself in gold-infused waters to activate Gold Rush, enhancing your speed and pickaxe efficiency. Maximize your Gold Rush potential by mining Gold Veins for Bars!

Big Dill’s in-game currency, Dill Bits, is escalating rapidly in value! Though they aren’t preserved between matches, be strategic in using them before they vanish!

Strategic Investment: Shopping at Black Markets

Utilize your Dill Bits and Gold Bars at one of the three Black Markets scattered throughout the map, providing access to exclusive Mythic and Legendary items. These markets also host Boons to assist with future heists.

Fletcher’s Transport: Risk and Reward

Be cautious: if gold moves, Fletcher Kane is likely to be involved. Look for his Armored Transport convoys throughout the island, but prepare for a showdown with his henchmen!

Alternatively, raiding Fletcher’s Armored Train offers substantial loot, albeit with elevated risks. Disabling the train’s defenses and breaching the vault is challenging but rewarding.

Unlocking New Boosts

This season introduces a reinvigorated slate of Boons, obtainable solely from Black Markets or Rare Chests. Notably, these Boons will remain accessible even if you are eliminated in the same match, adding an extra layer of strategy:

Vulture Boon: Pinpoints enemy eliminations on the map for a short duration.
Gold Rush Boon: Acquiring or dismantling Chests triggers Gold Rush.
Adrenaline Rush Boon: Activates the Slap effect upon dynamic maneuvers like wall jumps.
Gold Ammo Boon: Automatically grants extra ammo when collecting Bars.
Greed Boon: Provides additional Bars through eliminations and from chests.

Explosive New Items

Discover fresh arsenals designed for both offense and defense!

Vault-Cracking Gear

The only method to breach a vault is with Thermite, a potent explosive found throughout the map. For efficiency, direct your fire towards the vault’s weak points to hasten the blast.

Equipment for Chaotic Success

Heists require more than time and patience. Stay armed with the Collateral Damage Assault Rifle and the Falcon Eye Sniper for significant power! Keep an eye out for the feared Outlaw Shotgun coming in v34.10!

Always Be Prepared

Utility items like the Port-A-Cover and Pulse Scanner will help you navigate your heists while keeping a lookout for potential threats. Should you encounter henchmen or enemy squads disrupting your plans, utilize the Med-Mist Grenade and Gold Splash to regain health swiftly.

Take On Sub-Zero

With the arrival of the chilling cryomancer Sub-Zero, players can enhance their gameplay by acquiring Sub-Zero’s Kombat Kit, allowing for icy offenses against rivals.

LAWLESS Battle Pass

Gear up for a striking new aesthetic with the LAWLESS Battle Pass, providing an array of outfits and accessories to collect.

Progress in the Battle Pass by earning XP across any Fortnite game mode. This pass offers both free and premium rewards, purchasable for just 1, 000 V-Bucks. Highlights from the premium rewards include:
