Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 3 is already underway, introducing a new theme and exciting additions for players to explore. Following the introduction of a futuristic city in the previous season, Season 3 had high expectations to meet in order to be considered a worthy successor. However, just one week into the season, it is clear that the new theme is already making a significant impact on gameplay and storyline. As players will be spending a considerable amount of time on Season 3's Fortnite island, it is crucial to familiarize oneself with the unique aspects of this season.
Each season brings about changes to Fortnite's map, and Chapter 4 Season 3 is no different. The season's theme often plays a crucial role in shaping the island throughout the season's events. For instance, the Splashdown season flooded a significant portion of the map, with the floating Fortilla becoming the most prominent new point of interest. Similarly, Chapter 4 Season 1 featured a fantasy theme that added villages, fortresses, and even swords and shields to the weapon pool. With past seasons having such a profound impact on the island, it is only natural to expect Wilds to bring about similar changes.

The new island in Fortnite features the captivating jungle ruins, which are expected to play a crucial role in the game's storyline. The Snapshot missions introduce players to the task of retrieving an artifact for Aura, and it is likely that there will be more missions of this nature in the future. Additionally, Slone's return involves studying the ruins and uncovering their secrets. From a gameplay perspective, the ruins serve as a reliable source of valuable items, including the newly introduced Kinetic Boomerang. It is highly probable that the secrets hidden within the ruins hold clues about the theme of the upcoming season.
In terms of changes to the island, Season 3 brings forth a significant transformation with the introduction of a jungle that connects various points of interest in Fortnite. The jungle is adorned with vines that function similarly to Mega City's grind rails, offering players enhanced mobility options. Coupled with the presence of bouncy mushrooms, the jungle provides an abundance of opportunities for swift movement. Furthermore, the jungle is home to unique bulbs that exhibit different effects when damaged. Exploding purple flowers, poisonous gas emitting yellow flowers, and healing blue flowers resembling Slurp are just a few examples of the diverse flora found in the jungle. Adding to the excitement, players can now ride raptors at high speeds, marking their triumphant return in Season 3.
Fortnite's Chapter 4 Season 3 brings about significant changes not only to the island but also to the game's weaponry. In line with the Wilds' jungle theme, two new additions, namely the Kinetic Boomerang and Wildwasp Jar, have been introduced. Unique to the Kinetic Boomerang is its lack of ammunition requirement, allowing players to deal a substantial 60 damage per shot when accurately thrown. On the other hand, the Wildwasp Jar is a throwable item that summons aggressive wasps to attack any visible player, resulting in chaotic firefights. However, players should take advantage of these weapons in the current season as they are likely to be removed in the future.
Contrasting the high-tech city introduced in Chapter 4 Season 2, Season 3 takes players on a journey through vast jungles. Although there are fewer mobility items available, the island itself has undergone modifications to enhance maneuverability. Exploring the Wilds version of Fortnite's island will require players to spend considerable time traversing the jungle in search of its hidden secrets. With the numerous changes made to the island, Season 3's Wilds promises to be one of Fortnite's most exhilarating seasons to date.
Fortnite is available now for Android, iOS, Nintendo Switch, PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
