Right out from the grand finale to Chapter 6, Fortnite has kicked into Chapter Seven: Pacific Break, starting a new era for Fortnite Battle Royale at the Golden Coast. This is more than just a bunch of new locations and branded tie-ins, though, with a clutch of core gameplay changes, including boss battles, simple build and self revives.
One change is how you drop into your Fortnite match, with the Battle Bus now out of commission and Storm Surfing the way that you reach the Island instead. From there, the map has new POIs including Battlewood Boulevard, Sandy Strip, Wonkeeland, and Classified Canyon.
But really itās all about the new gameplay tweaks and additions.
Hereās the breakdown:
- Stay in the GameĀ ā In the very rare occasionĀ players are downed, they can use a Self-Revive Device to revive themselves while theyāre DBNO (Down But Not Out).
- Additionally, new DBNO movement options include Roll & Tumble, DBNO Sprint, and Stay on the Move.
- Lastly, Drivable Reboot Vans have rolled onto the Island!
- Defeat the Boss, Be the BossĀ ā Defeat bosses to claim their loot, powers, and transform into them! Becoming a boss grants full Health and Shield, bonus max Health and Shield, infinite Energy, and a powerful ability. Careful: boss positions remain visible to nearby opponents at all times!
- Simple BuildĀ ā Simple Build is an option in Settings (Game > Building) that makes learning how to build simpler. Turn it on, look in the direction you want to build, and justā¦ build!
Beyond that the new battle pass has got a whole host of film references that 12-year-olds wonāt really understand. The Bride from Kill Bill is turning up, katana in hand, and Marty McFly will bring 1980s chic to 2025 (a decade on from the āfutureā that he ended up visiting in the sequel).
This is all a little bit temporary, though. The Battle Bus returns on 4th December, at which point Reload will come back online with the Surf City map, Blitz Royale will have the new Starfall Island map, and ranked will also return. Fortnite OG will also return on 11th December with Season 7.

Absolutely, the self-revives will definitely add a new layer of strategy to the game. Players will need to think more about positioning and teamwork, especially during intense boss battles. Itāll be interesting to see how this impacts team compositions in competitive play!
You’re right! The self-revives can really change the dynamics in team play. It might encourage more aggressive tactics since players can take risks without the fear of being completely out of the game. I’m curious to see how that will affect player interactions during boss battles as well!
