Fortnite WILDS introduced many exciting concepts, but it lacked the appeal it could have had, making it somewhat forgettable. It was released after the end of the MEGA season, and after a chaotic and fun season like that, some fans were disappointed. However, it introduced players to the vibrant jungle area along with mud, a new and exciting mechanic in gameplay, as well as adding many fun temples filled with loot ready to be explored.
Chapter 5 Season 3
Wrecked
Period: May 24, 2024 – August 15, 2024
Duration: 83 days
Theme: Car-dominated wasteland
New locations: Brutal Beachhead, Sandy Steppes, Megalo Depot, Redline Rig, Nitrodrome
Fortnite Wrecked gave fans a strong Mad Max atmosphere when it was first released, exciting many of them. However, once the season started, it became clear that the cars were overly powerful, making it challenging to deal with them completely. Those who did not have heavily modified cars knew they would be at a disadvantage if they encountered one.
This made it seem necessary to find a car as quickly as possible and search for the best modifications for it. Epic Games tried to reduce the strength of cars and add defensive measures, such as the Heavy Impact Sniper, but it was not enough to achieve balance in the game. However, it was not all bad – Chapter 5 Season 3 introduced thrilling elements like Nitro-charged items and Slurp Cactus. The addition of Wastelander challenges was also a fun way to earn more points.
Chapter 1 Season X
Out of Time
Period: August 1, 2019 – October 13, 2019
Duration: 74 days
Theme: Time
New locations: Dusty Depot, Gotham City, Greasy Grove, Moisty Palms, Pandora, Retail Row, Starry Suburbs, The Cube, The Meteor, and Tilted Town
While the peak of the black hole event was undoubtedly epic, and the return of some fan-favorite locations was a nice touch, Season X of Fortnite did not provide enough new content to keep the game fresh. There were almost no new cosmetics in the Battle Pass, and players had to settle for upgrading shapes from Season 9. The gameplay changes were not inherently bad, but the sheer volume of them may have been overwhelming for some players.
