The new map makes use of some new features. Players can interact with the environment in new ways, with swimming effects and the ability to hide in tight spaces like barrels and haystacks.
The "Fortnite: Chapter 2" map has significantly more water and introduces boats as a new vehicle type. Players can also carry downed teammates on their back to bring them to safety.
While Fortnite is free to play, the game has earned billions by selling rewards and seasonal battle passes to players. The battle pass is essentially a checklist of goals that gives players in-game cash and unlockable items.
While the battle pass existed in the first chapter, "Fortnite: Chapter 2" makes it easier to track your progress with on-screen notifications while you play, and the goals seem to be a bit easier to achieve overall.
You can purchase the battle pass for 950 V-bucks, the equivalent of $9.50. If you're dedicated enough, you can earn up to 1,500 V-bucks with the battle pass, which is enough to buy the next seasonal battle pass and a handful of other rewards.
Epic is also planning rolling changes to "Fortnite's" $40 Save the World game mode that lets players team up to take on waves of computer-controlled enemies. The game's competitive tournament series for hardcore players will begin again soon, and "Chapter 2" introduced a Squad Arena mode for players to team up and play in more serious matches.
For now, "Chapter 2" is the perfect invitation for new and returning players to give "Fortnite" a chance. The new map and overhauled item set will certainly help even the gap between experienced players and beginners.
