What is the commencement date for Fortnite Season 4 in Chapter 6?
Get ready, Fortnite fans! The latest season, Shock 'N Awesome, is here, and it's bigger and better than ever.
The season kicks off with a thrilling bug invasion theme, as players are transported to a world overrun by creepy crawlies. Three new Points of Interest (POIs) have been added to the map, including The Hive, O.X.R. HQ, and Ranger’s Ruin. The Hive is the epicenter of the infestation, offering high-risk, high-reward loot, while O.X.R. HQ serves as the base for the Onimorph eXtermination Rangers, complete with barracks and an armory where players can purchase weapons and items. Ranger’s Ruin, a former weapons lab, is now overtaken by the bug infestation but offers quality loot with a higher danger level.
In terms of combat, the O.X.R. faction has introduced new powerful weapons designed to combat the bug threat. These include the Swarmstrike and other Exotic and Mythic loot. Additionally, new Medallions or Boons have been added, granting gameplay advantages to players.
The in-match rank system continues from previous seasons but now tracks a player’s standing with the O.X.R. organization. Ranking up can trigger supply drops for the player’s squad and allow unlocking of bunkers around the map at certain rank levels. XP gains have been significantly reduced in Season 4, with some modes seeing up to a 70% reduction in XP awarded, slowing Battle Pass progression compared to previous seasons.
Season 4 features a major event plus six mid-season updates planned, ensuring ongoing content releases throughout the three-plus month duration. After Season 4, a themed mini-season based on The Simpsons will begin on November 1, with Chapter 7 starting on December 2.
In addition to the bug invasion storyline, Shock 'N Awesome brings expanded map dynamics, new combat tools, adjusted XP progression, and high-profile brand collaborations. Notable crossover content includes Halo and Power Rangers-themed skins and vehicles, with the Megazord featured prominently in promotional material. Speculated new skins include bug-infused variants of existing characters such as Doctor Slone and Cuddle Team Leader, plus new bug invasion factions and potentially a Moth-Man character.
The Battle Bundle upgrade for the Season 4 Battle Pass costs 2,800 V-Bucks. To unlock the Battle Pass, players only need 1,000 V-Bucks. The Fortnite Crew subscription service, which costs $11.99 / £9.99 per month, includes access to all Fortnite Passes.
Fortnite Season 4 is expected to run until around the end of October, and the Fortnite Fortnitemares Halloween event will take place during the season. It's also possible to get free Fortnite V-Bucks, but beware of online scams.
As for the future, Chapter 7 is likely to feature initial seasons based around City Life and Norse Mythology. Additional files relating to new content for Fortnite Season 4 will be added through updates as we get closer to the launch. There may be a chapter-ending live event at the end of Fortnite Season 4.
