Gaming Corner: Fortnite Chapter 4

by Vegas Cheung (5H)

On 12.4.2022 Fortnite chapter 4 was released. We may all be playing it, but do you know all the new patch notes and new guns?

First and the most exciting part of the new chapter is the new motorcycle that should have been added in chapter 3. If you're using the motorcycle you can do awesome tricks and stunts. Fortnite even added some ramps.

Now I know all you guys are excited for the creative 2.0 Unreal Engine (the world's most open and advanced real time 3D creation tool) being added to Fortnite in late January 2023. It will let us mod the game like Minecraft or Roblox .Think about all the collabs we can get just by using this.

Now let's talk about the two new mechanics. There is a new mechanic called hurdling. If you sprint towards a small obstacle you can hurdle over it. The other new mechanic is reality augments. At intervals in your match, you’ll be given a randomized choice of two reality augments. The longer you play the match, the more augments you can get. You can only get a total amount of four augments.

 Now for the upcoming collabs. In the last live event, Fracture we saw Hulk riding a motorcycle teasing that there is another Marvel collab. Behind Hulk we see Geralt from The Witcher. And in the trailer we saw My Hero Academia’s protagonist Deku using one of his moves. This move may even be stronger than the Kamehameha that was added in chapter 3 season 3.

Now all the new guns and melee weapons. We now have the ex-caliber rifle that shoots blades, the shockwave hammer that send you to the sky, the red-eye assault rifle, thunder shotgun that is like the OG pump shotgun, twin mag smg that reloads very fast, maven auto shotgun, and the tactical pistol. The OG scar has also just been unvaulted.

Hope you guys enjoyed. I’ll see you next time with another game review or patch notes.
