UPDATE: The eagerly awaited Fortnite Season 2 update is now live across PlayStation, Xbox, PC, Android, and Nintendo Switch. Prepare to dive into the crime-infested world of Lawless by downloading and installing the update before the game comes back online at around 10:00 AM GMT. Make sure to catch all the new content as the season runs until May 2nd.
This new chapter, brimming with criminal activity, introduces several new points of interest including Crime City, which houses Hostile Hotel, Wise Guys Bookstore, and the Launder Mat. Other notable locations include Outlaw Oasis, Shiny Shafts, and Lonewolf Lair. Take a look at the revamped map in the image above.
The Battle Pass boasts a variety of new skins, named Cassidy Quinn, Joss, Fletcher Kane, Valentina, Big Dill, Keisha Cross, and Sub-Zero. Stay tuned as Outlaw Midas will unlock later this season. Fletcher Kane serves as the primary antagonist, emerging during heist boss fights.
“Defeat Fletcher’s hazardous claw strikes to earn the Mythic Fletcher Kane’s Double Down Pistol and the Unstoppable Medallion,” Epic Games explains. “The Unstoppable Medallion increases sprint speed and allows you to bash through enemies while sprinting.”
Season 2 introduces the Dill Bits currency, earned through breaking into vaults or dismantling armoured vehicles and trains. Discover exclusive Boons, such as the Vulture Boon, granting visibility of enemy positions, and the Gold Ammo boon, providing ammunition while gleaning bars.
Epic Games introduces a plethora of new items: Thermite, a potent explosive hidden throughout the map; the Plasma Burst Laser; and the Rocket Drill. Lightweight weapons like the Collateral Damage Assault Rifle, Falcon Eye Sniper, and Outlaw Shotgun are now available. Update 34.10 brings a pair of Pump & Dump shotguns for the first time ever, enabling dual-wield capabilities.
The Kneecapper baseball bat is yet another weapon to consider for close combat. And, for a bit of flair, Fortnite Season 2 adds Moments – the ability to choose a track when jumping into the Battle Pass and celebrating a Victory Royale.
RELEASE: Prepare for the upcoming Season 2 of Fortnite, titled Lawless, debuting on February 21st across PS5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PC, Android, and Nintendo Switch.
The Season 2 update (v34.00) can be pre-loaded on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. For Xbox users, visit ‘My Games & Apps > Manage > Updates’ to select and install the new Fortnite update. On PS5, set your console to auto-download and auto-install updates in Rest Mode.

Embrace the illegal essence of the Lawless season within the Crime City map, featuring an underground goldmine, bank vaults, a Baron’s Mansion, and a train for strategic heists. Discover an array of Battle Pass skins, featuring characters like a new Midas variant, Scorpion, and Sub-Zero from Mortal Kombat.
Beyond skins, players can engage in raids on Money Vans and vaults, utilise the Rocket Drill for wall destruction, and establish defences with Armoured Walls. Experience the fun of a plasma burst rifle, a glowing llama, and dual-wield shotguns. Stay tuned for future updates and Skins.
