Fortnite brings further mechanics to its design with Chapter 6 Season 1, and players can expect unique surprises that may just change the way they play, and may just make the dub all the easier to claim. Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 1 brings about further innovation to celebrate, and players can now parkour, as well as learn further secrets within not just the combat, but within the gameplay and map design itself.

Fortnite: 6 Best Weapons in Chapter 6 Season 1

Fortnite’s best weapons are always incredibly influenced by the current meta, so consider these great weapons for your next drop from the battle bus.

There are so many new things in Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 1, and players who want to jump back into Battle Royale may benefit from knowing just what they might have missed, and things that might just help them get a step closer to a victory.

6 Teleport with the Void Mask

The Void Mask Allows Players to Stealth Around Enemies and Save Allies

The Void Mask is a random drop that everyone should carry in their loadout for a few reasons. While it’s not a weapon that deals damage, it is one that is very situational and can definitely save players who are in for a bad time. The Void Mask utilizes Void Tears, where players can use a projectile to land a teleport spot just like an Ender Pearl in Minecraft.

Void Tears are visible, but they do not alert enemies, so players can easily reach enemy teams and flank them with the Void Tear. Some players have even been able to place a Void Tear and then use it to escape to a safe place when there’s too much action, or a friend needs saving.

5 Parkour!

A New Movement System Allows Better Control of Action

Chapter 6 Season 1 includes an animation and movement rework to the game, keeping movement as fresh as ever. Players now have access to a few new tricks when they move, on top of the tactical sprint and slide. With Chapter 6 Season 1, players can parkour, vaulting from wall to wall and running up ledges to reach higher ground without the need to build.

Fortnite: Every Mythic Weapon in Chapter 6 Season 1

The best Mythic weapons in Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 1 will help players prove that they are the ultimate Battle Royale champion.

Parkour is essential to the new movement system, and even the tuck and roll allow players to absorb fall damage and regain stamina, allowing players to always be on the move with this new movement system.

4 Simple Edit

Immediately Edit Builds with the Press of a Button

Another mechanic for Chapter 6 Season 1 is the Simple Edit tool, something players can find in Build Modes for their controls in the Settings menu. With Simple Edit active, players are able to edit small segments of their structures that they are directly looking at, rather than having to edit it manually. This enables some fast edit styles to immediately remove sections of walls, floors, and stairs for even better build control.

Simple Edit is essential, and super easy to pull off, so those who love cranking 90s and pulling off wild builds on their opponents will definitely benefit from this system, players should head to their settings menu immediately to try it out before jumping into the map.

3 Weapon Canting

Alternate From 1st-Person to 3rd Person when Aiming, and Vice Versa

Weapon Canting is a unique ability introduced in Chapter 6 Season 1 that will allow players to alternate perspectives when they are aiming their weapon. For those with guns with a scope attached, players can hit L3 to see them swap between the scope and bloom, changing perspectives from 1st-person to 3rd-person.

This is a great mechanic that players need to know about, as not everyone prefers 1st-person, and not everyone prefers 3rd-person. Weapon Canting is just the beginning of the potential for Fortnite‘s first-person mode that has been confirmed, but not released.

2 Negate Fall Damage with the Typhoon Blade

The Typhoon Blade is a must-have, and players who are fortunate enough to have one in their inventory will see it as a great blessing for a few reasons. Not only is it just cool as anything to run around with a katana on the hip, but it also deals plenty of damage with each furious sword slash and allows players to both more stamina, and a faster tactical sprint.

Fortnite: All Sprites, Sprite Shines, and Their Effects

Sprites make for an adorable and rewarding addition to Fortnite in Chapter 6 Season 1, but where can players actually find them, and what do they do?

Yet, perhaps the most underused feature of the Typhoon Blade is its ability to negate fall damage, as players who are in mid-air can use an attack move to send themselves hurtling down to the floor without risk of injury. On top of that (it’s a glitch) players can hot-swap from a weapon to a katana to essentially fly across the map.

1 Go Invisible with Shogun X’s Medallion

Infinite Sprint and Invisibility is a Must

Defeating Shogun X on his floating island after the 4th storm circle will drop the Shogun X’s Medallion, which when equipped, will turn players invisible when they sprint. It will also make them sprint infinitely, so it’s easily the best Medallion on the map. While Medallions are nothing new to Fortnite, this is certainly one worth mentioning to those who have yet to pick it up.

Players should fight over this Medallion, as being able to go invisible and run around without being spotted will make flanking teams so much easier, and will definitely be an essential piece of kit when trying to evade capture.
