5 things we need to see in Fortnite Chapter 3: Spider-Man, new map & more Epic GamesWith Fortnite Chapter 3 just around the corner, we\u2019re looking at the features it needs for it to be a success, from a brand new map to an epic Marvel crossover that\u2019s long overdue. Epic Games took Fortnite players by surprise when they announced that Chapter 2 Season 8 won\u2019t be followed by Season 9. Instead, the battle royale will go straight into Chapter 3 following the upcoming \u2018The End\u2019 live event on December 4, 2021. While new seasons are always something to look forward to, a new chapter means even bigger changes are ahead. The jump from Chapter 1 to Chapter 2 was a huge one, so this is definitely an exciting time to be a Fortnite fan. So far, Epic have been keeping details about Fortnite Chapter 3 under lock and key, so all we have to on right now are rumors and speculation. Here are five features we need to see for Chapter 3 to be a success with players. 1. A brand new (and exciting) Fortnite map An entirely new map is exactly what Fortnite needs to make the game feel fresh and exciting again, but it can\u2019t just be a rehash of the first two chapters. It must be unique to draw players back, so we\u2019re keeping our fingers crossed that Epic Games deliver something really special. Previous seasons of Fortnite have featured snow-covered areas, desert landscapes, and even water flooding the entire map (briefly) in Chapter 2 Season 3. But recently, the map has been pretty much a sea of green, and POIs like Retail Row, Lazy Lake, and Pleasant Park don\u2019t have much to distinguish them from each other.

One of the best ways to achieve this would be to introduce more significant mid-season map changes, which is another thing recent seasons have lacked. 2. More weird weapons and quirky items One thing that sets Fortnite apart from other battle royales like Warzone and Apex Legends is that it\u2019s not afraid to embrace its quirky, cartoonish side. We\u2019ve seen this with items like the Snowy Flopper and melee weapons like Lightsabers, but not so much in recent seasons. Although the loot pool in Chapter 2 Season 8 is arguably the best (and most balanced) it\u2019s ever been, it is missing out on some fun. Give us some more wacky inventions like the Inflate-A-Bull, which is probably the last truly bizarre addition we saw in Fortnite, and keep things weird in Chapter 3, please. 3. The ability to slide Here’s a better look at the upcoming sliding mechanic (thanks to @gameshed_ for getting me the image). Here’s what we know so far: \u2013 You can shoot while sliding \u2013 Surface angle & type will affect the speed \u2013 2 Seconds delay between each slide \u2013 FOV increases by 15 when sliding pic.twitter.com\/m0INhE322r\u2014 HYPEX (@HYPEX) September 29, 2021 A feature that\u2019s still missing from Fortnite after all these years is the ability to slide, which is a mechanic that\u2019s pretty much taken for granted in most other battle royale titles. It might seem like a simple addition, but this is something players have been waiting a long time for. According to prominent leaker HYPEX, Epic have been quietly working on a slide feature, although it\u2019s unknown if this is a proper addition or simply a bonus effect provided by an item. Either way, it\u2019s something that\u2019s long overdue, and we\u2019d love to see it debut in Fortnite Chapter 3. 4. More virtual concerts from global superstars Fortnite fans are used to seasons ending with big live events, but it\u2019s the unexpected mid-season events that are often the most exciting. Chapter gave us the excellent Rift Tour, which blended Fortnite lore with an Ariana Grande concert, and more of that would be incredible. So who could headline the next one? Well, it was previously revealed that Epic Games were attempting to get Lady Gaga to appear in the game, but if she\u2019s not available, then artists like Dua Lipa, Doja Cat, and The Weeknd who already have dance emotes in Fortnite would be incredible. 5. A Spider-Man crossover (finally!) Now that Naruto has finally appeared in Fortnite, the next big crossover on pretty much every player\u2019s wishlist is Spider-Man. Almost every major Marvel superhero has appeared in the battle royale so far, from Wolverine to Black Widow, but Peter Parker remains strangely absent. It would make a lot of sense for it to happen now: With the new sequel Spider-Man: No Way Home scheduled to hit cinemas around the world in December, the launch of Chapter 3 would be the perfect time for the beloved web-slinger to appear in the new Battle Pass. Regardless of what you think about Fortnite\u2019s seemingly endless collaborations, getting Spider-Man to visit the Island would be a total win. While we patiently wait to see if that will happen, here\u2019s everything we know about Fortnite Chapter 3 so far.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
