Fortnite Chapter Four, season four is here, and vampire Kado Thorne has stolen the island’s wealth for himself to build lavish buildings. Now it’s your job to steal it back, as part of the Last Resort heist. Here’s everything you need to know about Fortnite v26.00, including map changes, new weapons, and more.
From WWE to Transformers, there’s been plenty of crossovers for players to enjoy during Fortnite season three. It’s time to forget all about these mashups, though, because there’s a heist going down on the island, and we need to get involved in the action.
Fortnite Chapter Four, season four map changes
A new Fortnite season means map changes—and season four is no different. There are three new POIs this season, all owned by Kado Thorne. They are filled with valuable items, but be warned, because they’re also defended by cameras, laser grids, and guards.
The first new POI is Relentless Retreat, a modern home with palm trees and an outdoor swimming pool.
Sanguine Suites is a sprawling hotel, with plenty of rooms for you to enter and explore. Found right at the edge of the map, landing here could give you a chance to loot by yourself if it isn’t directly under the path of the Battle Bus.
Finally, Eclipsed Estate is another modern building, complete with a giant eclipse sigil carved out of stone.
Thorne has also taken over Rumble Ruins, the Slap Juice factory, and a tower in MEGA City, which all have guards defending them.
Khaby Lame joins Fortnite
TikTok star Khaby Lame is the latest major name to join the battle royale and gets his own ICON skin in season four.
The Italian is the most-followed user on TikTok with over 161 million followers on the platform and now brings his incredible social-media fanbase to the battle royale. The collab was first teased by Lame in a video where he is seen opening multiple boxes, before finally peering inside a black box with the eclipse sigil on it.
Players can unlock the Khaby Lame skin by purchasing the Chapter Four, season four battle pass.

As always, there are plenty of new weapons to use in Fortnite Chapter 4, season 4, including:

Three items also return from the game’s vault: Remote Explosives, Suppressed Sniper Rifle, and Suppressed Pistol.
Mythic Items are ready to be heisted
