Fortnite Chapter 7 has totally revamped the Battle Royale loot pool in the new season, and the new arsenal is mostly made up of weapons we’ve never had before. Likewise, Epic has added a few new types of items that have no real precedent in Fortnite, and some of them are exceptionally powerful.
But for this story, the biggest new addition is the boss kits, which drop when you defeat an NPC boss. These kits are locked in your inventory until you win the round or die, make you look like the boss the kit came from, and give you increased health and stamina, and an ability unique to that boss that you have to activate manually by using the item. Oh, and it shows everyone on the map exactly where you are.
There are three of these bosses at the moment, and they rotate randomly between five locations: Ripped Tides, Classified Canyon, Painted Palms, and either side of the lake east of Wonkeeland. Without any further ado, let’s see what we’re working with in Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 1, from the deadly new weapons to the awesome new Self-Revive Kit.
This post offers a great overview of the changes in Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 1! The new weapons and items sound exciting and will definitely shake up the gameplay. Looking forward to seeing how players adapt to the revamped loot pool!
Thanks for your thoughts! It’s interesting to see how the new Exotic and Mythic weapons are changing gameplay strategies. I think players will really have to adapt their tactics to make the most of these changes this season!
