The results were mile-high pillars of water, and a biblical flood in the battle royale. You can have a look at the Fortnite Chapter 2 Season 3 map below. As you can see, there\u2019s been a hefty raft of changes. Most of the north-west side of the map has become a littered spread of islands. There\u2019s barely anything left. Luckily, most of the points of interest on the flooded side of the map did survive. Holly Hedges, Sweaty Sands, Pleasant Park, and Salty Springs are all islands now. A brand new \u201cFortilla\u201d has also appeared in the south-west.
