Major updates coming to Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 1: Wall Running, New items, Collabs & more

We can expect huge content patches throughout Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 1 to keep gameplay feeling fresh.

Sure, we may only be a few days into Fortnite Chapter 4, but that doesn’t mean we can’t look ahead at upcoming changes.

With the debut season set to run all the way into March 2023, fans will need plenty of updates to keep them entertained. Luckily, it seems like Epic has us covered!

Here’s what’s scheduled to drop in Fortnite over the next couple of months:

New advanced mechanics

Fortnite continues to add extra movement options for players. Chapter 4 has already introduced the ability to hurdle over objects by sprinting at them, but there’s more on the way.

Wall Running – This will let you run along surfaces like the sides of buildings. If it works on player-built structures too, build fights are about to get way more interesting!

Jump Sliding – We’re not clear on what this is just yet. Perhaps some sort of move to change direction mid-air.

Double Jump – According to @HYPEX, this could be a new Reality Augment. Fairly self-explanatory, jump again mid-air to get twice as high.

Upcoming items & Exotic weapons

New versions of Shield Potions and Medkits are in the game files. You will only use the amount of Health/Shield you need to restore and save the rest for later.

Exotics

• Breach Shotgun

• Speed Stacking Shotgun
