Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 3: Wrecked has been revealed and its Battle Pass will let players unlock Fallout’s T-60 Power Armor and, later in the season, the Wastelander Magneto Outfit.
This latest season of Fortnite is available today, May 24, and brings a literal wasteland into the Battle Royale. Following a sandstorm, a new biome was created in the south called wasteland and “Wasteland Warriors” have claimed the area for their own.
You obviously can’t have a wasteland without Fallout, and the Wrecked Battle Pass will let you don some T-60 Power Armor after doing a bit of grinding.
When you purchase the Battle Pass, you will unlock an Outfit called The Machinist. By leveling it up, you will be able to unlock Rust, Peabody, Ringmaster Scarr, and then, finally, the T-60 Power Armor. That’s not all, as the Brite Raider and Megalo Don Outfits will become available two levels after that.
The Fallout fun doesn’t end there either, as ice-cold Nuka-Cola bottles will be littered around the map that will restore Health and, over time, a bit of Shield.
Beyond Fallout, Marvel fans will be delighted to know that they will be able to unlock the Wastelander Magneto Outfit from Battle Pass Quests in July.
Whether you have the T-60 Power Armor or not, the wasteland will have a ton of things to do in it and challenges to conquer. There will also be a few new POIs, including the Redline Rig, Nitrodome, and Brutal Beachhead. All of these are run by different Wasteland Warriors that you’ll be able to take down if you dare to try.
Redline Rig’s The Machinist will drop a medallion that will recharge your shield over time and her Mythic weapon, Nitrodome’s Ringmaster Scarr will drop a medallion that gives you infinite ammo and a small damage buff alongside a Mythic Ringmaster’s Boom Bolt, and Brutal Beachhead’s Megalo Don will drop a medallion that will infuse you with infinite Nitro and Megalo Don’s Nitro Fists. Oh, and you can steal their vehicles as well.
Speaking of Nitro, the island will now be home to Nitro Splash and Nitro Barrels that are being shipped right from Redline Rig. Nitro Splash is a portable container that you can throw to infuse your car or yourself with Nitro while Nitro Barrels will fly off when you hit them and explode on whatever it lands on.
As for what Nitro is, it will increase the speed of cars, give “explosive ramming power that deals damage and knockback,” decrease fuel consumption, and buff attached attack mods. For the player, it will increase their movement speed, give them the ability to “bust through builds,” sprint for longer periods, reload guns faster, and take no fall damage.
Additionally, there are now Nitro Fists that lets players perform a 3x punch combo, uppercut, or aerial punch. These fists have four charges and each one recharges every eight seconds.
There is so much more to look forward to in this new season, including a War Bus that you can hijack that comes complete with two cannons and an EMP pulse, new and returning vehicle mods, the ability to create roadblocks with a Boom Bolt, and much more.
