Epic Games brings a chaotic but action-packed update titled “Shock ‘N Awesome“
Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 4 is now live, and it’s one of the wildest updates yet. Titled Shock ‘N Awesome, this season drops players into a battle against a deadly swarm of alien bugs invading the island. To survive, players get some serious backup — with Halo’s Spartans and the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers joining the fight via the battle pass.
From new POIs and powerful weapons to exotic loot drops and a fresh ranking system, here’s everything players need to know about Fortnite’s latest season.
Five new POIs shake up the island
The Fortnite map has been reworked with five new major points of interest:
- Demon’s Debris
- The Hive
- O.X.R. HQ
- Ranger’s Ruin
- Swarmy Stash
Demon’s Debris replaces Demon’s Domain with a visual overhaul. But with these new additions, several POIs had to go. Removed locations include Brutal Boxcars, Crime City, Flooded Frogs, Lonewolf Lair, and Pumped Power.
New weapons bring serious firepower
The bug invasion calls for serious weapons, and Epic delivers. Here are the new additions in Chapter 6 Season 4:
- Bug Blaster – Fires explosive plasma
- Roly Poly – Lets you roll and bounce across terrain
- Leadspitter 3000 Minigun
- Sweeper Shotgun
- O.X.R. Rifle
- Wrecker Revolver
- Swarmstrike Rocket Launcher
- Blade Blaster
And for players who grind to O.X.R. Rank A, exotic weapons become available in hidden bunkers:
- Eradicator O.X.R. Rifle – Boosts damage with each hit
- Double Trouble – Dual pump shotguns
- Shock n’ Slow Launcher – Launches shockwaves and slows targets midair
- Marksman Wrecker Revolver – Higher fire rate and better headshots
- Exotic Slap Berry Fizz – Shield recovery, low gravity effect, and slap boost
Meet the enemy: bugs of all kinds
The big twist this season is the bug invasion. Players will face three bug types:
- Swarmers – Small but deadly in large numbers
- Bombers – Lurk near nests, then surprise with explosive goop
- Queens – Massive, powerful bosses that appear after nests are cleared
Defeating them requires strong weapons, team play, and quick thinking.
O.X.R. Rank replaces Hero Rank
A new season means a new progression system. O.X.R. Rank replaces the previous Hero Rank from Season 3. Instead of opening caches on the map, players now receive loot through O.X.R. Drop Pods. Each time you level up, a pod drops nearby with exclusive gear — so stay alert and ready.
The collab skins keep getting better
This season’s battle pass brings iconic characters into the game once again. Players can unlock Halo’s Spartans and the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, along with other unique skins tied to the bug storyline. It’s a crossover-heavy season, perfect for fans of both nostalgia and action.
