unfortunately, an underwhelming start to a new chapter. the new Island is very pretty and the major POI are well designed battle zones in my Zero Build experience. i wish the train was cooler, as by the 3rd time you land on it, you realize that it's not worth starting with it, maybe jump on if it happens to pass u by, and it's going in a safe direction. hopefully they find some ways to make it cooler in later seasons this chapter.

the new weapon modding is arguably arbitrary, as most weapons have one good load out, that you just have to be lucky enough to find or just always purchase at the mod bench. I'll miss the Balistic Sheild, as I'm sure it'll stay vaulted. They somehow designed a weapon that felt perfectly balanced and completely OP with it.

The Battle Pass was okay. Love the designs of Hope, Oscar, Jonesy, and Valaria. The rest were pretty good too. The inclusion of both Solid Snake and Peter Griffin is hilarious, but I'll never use Griffin and I'll likely use the Item Shop's Raiden more than Snake.

Now, I'm a sucker for Fornite Lore, and was thoroughly disappointed by this season's story. "Jonesy joins new good guys to rescue Peely from new bad guys" is like 90% of it. the other 10% was that Srgt. Winter showed up again, and the TMNT showed up to help the new Good Guys.

all in all, as almost always, I had a good time in this season of zero build battle royale. now my thoughts on Fortnite Festival, Rocket Racing, and LEGO Fortnite are much more mixed, but I'll get to those later on their own pages.
