Fortnite is shaking things up with its latest season, Chapter 6: Season 2, dubbed “Lawless.” The battle royale game returns to a heist theme, where players can break into bank vaults, rob armored cars, and even pull off robberies on the train. A giant pickle named Big Dill has also joined the fray, rapping its way through the game.
The new season draws inspiration from Grand Theft Auto-style games, with crime-themed locations like Crime City and new features like a scanner for detecting enemy positions. Players can also earn in-game currency by swimming in gold water, which grants temporary powers. A black market allows players to buy high-end gear, while a mob boss sometimes appears during heists.
For those who purchase the season’s battle pass, they’ll find a team of crime-fighting characters, including Big Dill and Sub-Zero from Mortal Kombat. Cowboy Bebop-themed quests will also become available starting March 1st. The Lawless season runs from today until May 2nd.
As part of its ongoing updates, Fortnite has expanded into new areas, including local multiplayer in music mode, a Counter-Strike-style shooter mode, and a Lego-inspired social game with GTA-like roleplaying.
