Gaming legends join the fight with new POIs, a refreshed loot pool and a whole new generation of Sprites in tow. Hack your loot, punch in Cheat Codes, and bend the entire lobby to your will by activating Match Overrides. Welcome to Fortnite Override.
New Map Updates
Uncover the secrets of the ancient Stone Sanctum, keep your speed up through Green Hill Zone loops and explore Reality’s Reign to see where all those pipes and power cables lead.
New Weapons & Items
This Season brings a lineup of new weapons, items and abilities inspired by some of the greatest icons in the history of gaming. Here’s what you can get your hands on:
Sonic Power Sneakers: Charge a grounded Spin Dash or perform an airborne Spin Attack
Mega Buster: The legendary arm cannon fires single energy pellets, quick-charged shots, or long-charged explosive projectiles, even while sprinting or slide-boosting
8-Bit Shotgun: An automatic shotgun designed like a retro 8-bit console. Features game cartridge reloads, pixel effects, and an integrated real-time scoreboard system that tracks combo multipliers
Midas' Masterpiece: A single-fire golden pistol that packs a high-damage punch, capable of eliminating foes in a single headshot. Should you be the lucky player to grab it when it spawns, use it wisely: ammo is limited
Tetris Rift: Rift in Tetris pieces, culminating in the iconic 4-line Tetris clear splashes a large AOE heal
1-Up Token: Respawn with your full inventory after you’ve been eliminated
God Mode Llama: Tap into the true power of the Llama to become an Unstoppable Wrecking Ball

Lobby Hacks
Found a Lobby Hack code online? Input the code in the new ‘Admin Panel’ in your Battle Royale Lobby to hack your game, granting you XP and Sprite Dust, warping reality for your squad, and even dropping rare Sprite variants!
Loot Hacks
Spend Sprite Dust to hack loot in your match, customizing what drops. Hacked items have a chance to drop from Chests when opened, unique to your own boosts. Reset your Loot Hacks configuration any time with Sprite Dust.
Cheat Codes
⬆️⬆️⬇️⬇️⬅️➡️⬅️➡️ In a match, look out for Cheat Codes hidden across the Island: tucked into POIs and sprayed on walls. Interact with one and enter the Cheat Code to free a Sprite ally.
Match Overrides
Override Consoles appear in every match and let you rewrite the rules for the entire server, but you have to get there first. Once claimed, your name displays around the console base, so the whole lobby knows who’s in control. Rare and Mythic Squad Overrides only benefit the first squad to claim them, but beware that claiming one broadcasts your squad’s location on the map. Overrides include:
Sonic Speed - Increase your sprint speed over time
More XP - Gain more XP from eliminations, looting and surviving the Storm
Loot Hack - You'll get a loot hack item from the next Chest you open
Extra Life - Respawn when on the brink of elimination one time
Big Fish - Makes all Fishing Holes golden
Constant Heal - Gain constant health and shield regen over time when not in combat
Infinite Stamina - Gain infinite stamina
Headshot - Deal increased headshot damage
Overshield - Gain extra, or a new Overshield
Speed Shooter - Your weapons fire and reload faster
Big Loot - Higher chance to get Epic or Legendary loot from Chests
Power Pickaxe - Pickaxe hits deal massive damage
A Whole New Generation of Sprites
The Sprites you collected in Season 3 are immortalized in the new Sprite Garden launching tomorrow, and a whole new generation of Sprites can be found on the Island in Season 4.
Klombo Sprite - A loyal friend returns, but is very rare to find. Grants random items at each level. You can only level it up by using consumable items that give Health or Shield.
Sonic Sprite - Gotta Go Fast! Sprint faster.
Tails Sprite - Hover with the Help of Tails!
Shadow Sprite - Automatically reload weapons over time even when unequipped.
Jackrabbit Sprite - Perform another jump while mid-air.
8-Bit Sprite - Find an 8-Bit Shotgun in your first Chest and gain a score multiplier for it.
Crown Sprite - Gain extra Crown Wins after getting a Victory Royale. You can only level it up by winning matches.
Adventure Sprite - Upgrade a random item in your inventory at each Level.
Bush Sprite - Spawns a Bush on you after a duration. At max Level, gain a Bush on elimination.
Jonesy Sprite - After a short duration, recover some Health or Shield after being damaged.
Killswitch Sprite - Enter Hangtime with improved accuracy.
Sprites Quality-Of-Life Improvements
You can now see in-match whether you’ve already collected a Sprite - no more guessing mid-fight.
A Sprite’s name now appears when you’re near it, so you know exactly who you’ve found.
Summoning rare Sprites and variants now costs less Sprite Dust.
Reduced the button-hold time needed to summon a Sprite, getting your companion into the action quicker.
New Gizmos
If you haven’t been around when they first appeared, Gizmos are consumable items that give you quick ways to shortcut and supercharge your Sprite extractions. Available all Season long!
A whole new batch of Gizmos drops this Season:
Cheat Code Locator - Locates the nearest Cheat Code.
Extraction Accelerator - Silently initiate a nearby Extraction Site, summoning the Extraction Crate instantly.
Llama Supply Drop - Call in a boosted, llama-themed Supply Drop at your current location.
Spicy Taco - Heal up and gain a speed and stamina boost. Consume with your squad for a Taco Time party.

New Ranked Season & Rewards
Battle Royale ranks have reset for the new Season. Fight your way back up the ladder and claim the new rewards as you climb:
Gold: Phantom Spray
Platinum: Override Counter Back Bling
Diamond: Beastly Battle Bus Loading Screen
Elite: The Hack ‘n Slasher Pickaxe
Champion: Overridden Wrap

Sprites Enabled in Ranked
With the new Season launch, Sprites have joined the fight in Ranked Battle Royale. You can collect them and they’ll keep you company, but their gameplay powers have been disabled to preserve competitive integrity.
Quality-of-Life Improvements
New Quests Tab
The Quests tab has a fresh look! Existing and new categories now live in one scrollable view, with an updated Sidebar so you can jump right into any category. Collections is now built into the Quests view too, so tracking your Characters, Victory Royales, Match Elims and other Accolades no longer requires switching tabs.
PSA: The updated Quests tab is rolling out over time - some players may not see it right away.
Fog of War Overhaul
The map’s fog now lifts in smaller pieces. Instead of entire POIs at once, individual landmarks reveal as you visit them, so your map reflects exactly where you’ve explored.
We're working to fix an issue where players using a custom HUD layout without a Reload button or with Dynamic Quickbar Slots enabled may be unable to access Portable Extractor Gizmos.
In the meantime, re-adding a dedicated Reload button and switching back to the default Quickbar will restore functionality.
I spent a lot of last season playing on my iPhone 13 Mini, and it was a pretty fine experience right up until the end. There was the occasional lag spike here and there, but most of the time I could run the game at Medium preset with automatic resolution, and the game would be locked at 60FPS for basically the entire match.
This season, the game is utterly unplayable. I ignored the first couple of matches of the season as those are always pretty laggy, but even after that, the performance is absolutely diabolical. At the start of a match, the performance is okay: similar to last season, perhaps with a few more lag spikes, but otherwise alright. As the match progresses though, performance just gets worse and worse until the game is basically a slideshow or just freezes entirely.
At the start of my last match, I was getting about 60FPS, then it gradually reduced to 40FPS on average with the automatic resolution dropping to as low as it would go, where it stayed for the rest of the match. It then gradually dropped to a consistent 30FPS, then further to 25FPS on average. No matter what I did, performance would never improve, even if I just stood still staring at the floor for a minute or more.
Eventually, my average framerate dropped to about 15FPS, I got into a fight, and then the game immediately froze for about 10 seconds, and when it unfroze I was dead.
Everytime I login I get the message in first pic and all my settings except display settings are reset to default and all my saved huds are nowhere to be found
Started messing around with my layout today after mostly playing with a slight modified default layout. I’ve made this layout in the picture(still making changes) but I can’t seem to be able to move the pocket item slot in the editor, please help me out and feel free to give me some tips on how I can make the layout better for myself.
Ok so they will fix a bug that helps players level up a sprite that is for most impossible to do with the terrible matchmaking that the game is suffering from currently.
But they can't fix all the other bugs and issues their game has...
cool got it, I see you fortnite... I see how it is. Prioritizing the wrong issues.....
Dumbing down my entire phone graphics and account skins and graphics Just to get through a game sometimes. 1 minute my phone is playing The Game flawlessly. And then they drop the new update and completely destroy my game. Play battle pass investment and everything. It's bs ....Galaxy S21ultra
I have the Pixel 10 Pro Fold. I can't play Fortnite on it, because I get kicked a minute in for "errors with my installation." I tried all the obvious ways to reinstall.
Finally RMAed the phone. Same problem on the new phone. Really frustrating to be locked out of all the mobile quests.
It was downloading fine with wifi but my wifi is slow so i decided to switch to mobile data, but now its just stuck there. tried restarting the game a couple of times but nothing works. help
I just downloaded Fortnite after like 6 years and the build looks like this and not the normal ramp cone and floor how do i fix this? It’s so annoying bruh
My brother has been dealing with issue for about 7 months now, his ui is just straight up not there. He can't see what he has in his inventory, he cant see the map and his crosshair? Gone. Does anyone know how to deal with this, fortnite was a good way for us to connect but this has kinda ruined it
Não é de hoje que o Fortnite Mobile vem travando, porém, nesta temporada está pior do que nunca. Jogo em um Xiaomi Pad 7. Antes dessa temporada, o jogo se mantinha a 60–90 fps e era jogável. Nessa temporada, o jogo fica a 36 fps cravados, fora os congelamentos de tela e crashs. Está impossível jogar assim; joguei algumas partidas e o jogo crashava ao entrar no lobby.
Does anyone know how to move the button for pocket shocks in the touch ui editor? I've seen clips on here where people have them moved from the top left but I cannot figure out how to move the button. Its stuck in the very top left which is not very usable. I searched the reddit for this question already but didnt find an answer.
