The new Fortnite update and the start of season 9 brings a host of changes to the map, gameplay and even weapons.

New Fortnite locations include Neo Tilted, a Tilted Towers replacement. Mega Mall on Retail Row and a Pressure Plant where the volcano previously was.

Slipstreams now offer a way to move around the map faster and change direction.  You can exit these at different angles and with more or less momentum to get to other parts of the map. Watch out, because vehicles and grenades can also enter.

Air Vents are another new option that allows you to get a short burst to another area without taking any fall damage.

Fortbytes are a new in game collectible with 100 hidden throughout the season. So far 18 Fortbytes are available and at least one more will arrive each day. You must collect these during Season 9, and you need the Battle Pass to do this. Once you collect them all you can decrypt an image and you’ll unlock rewards and secrets.

Grenades are back in the game, and there is a new combat shotgun, but many weapons are removed to the vault. You can check out the full patch notes for more on bug fixes.
