Season 8 and season 7 of Fortnite has 
introduced 
Many things. In season 7 planes and drift boards 
were introduced to the game. Planes can fit 1 driver 
and 4 passengers on the wings. Season 7 also fixed 
the balloons so when you use the balloons you can 
also use your weapons. It also reduced the stack 
size of balloons from 20 to 10 making it take 3 
balloons to completely fly. Season 7 has vaulted 
the shadow stones, port-a-forts, chiller, clinger, 
double barrel shotgun, and the shockwave grenade. 
The new iceberg biome was added and new named 
locations such as Frosty Flights, and Polar peak. 
Another item introduced to the game in season 7, 
are different wraps for guns and vehicles. Season 8 
has added a volcano, lazy lagoon, risky reels, and 
sunny steps. Season 8 also added Pirates to the 

game. Vaulted items include the plane, the shopping 
cart, the atk/golf cart, burst assault rifle, 
bolt-action sniper, heavy shotgun, mp5 style 
submachine gun, quad launcher, sixshooter, infinity 
blade, boombox, and the grenade. A few items that 
they added or brought back to the game include 
cannons, the infantry rifle, epic and legendary pump 
shotguns, and clingers. Season 8 added in buried 
treasure to fortnite. You can find a buried treasure 
map and it will point you into the direction to the 
buried treasure. When you get to the buried 
treasure you will see an x on the ground. Once you 
hit the x a few times with your pickaxe you will be 
able to open a chest that gives you legendary loot. 
When you have a cannon you can aim at a target 
and shoot the cannon which will destroy objects in 
the way. You can also launch yourself far distances 
using the cannon. 

 
First, in season 6 the cube was formed in the 
desert around cacti. Secondly, the cube was rolling 
around the fortnite map. Then while it was rolling 
it had been forming shadow stones around the map. 
After that, It was visible that the cube was 
forming a larger cube around the map. Next, the 
cube had rolled into loot lake, vaporizing the cube 
but making loot lake purple like the cube. You 
were now able to bounce high on loot lake like 
the cube. Later on, is season 6 the cube had broken 
apart the middle of loot lake leaving a floating 
island in the sky and a hole in the ground. 

 
Season 5 in fortnite is so much different and 
similar to apex legends. fortnite has Emotes and 
toys you can use to mess around while playing but 
apex legends doesn’t. Apex legends is a more 
realistic game while fortnite is a more cartoony 
one. Fortnite season 5 had brought in a golf cart 
or atk while apex legends doesn’t have a vehicle of 
right now. Fortnite has a battle pass while apex 
doesn’t. Apex legends and fortnite are similar 
because they are both battle royale games. They 
both have guns to kill opponents in them. They both 
have storms which will damage you if you are in 
them. They both have seasonal themes in the game.  

 
SEason 3 had taken things a step further by 
adding more things to the battle pass. That made 
more people play the game and made the game more 
exciting. In Season 3 there was a meteor that 
appeared which was found out in season 4, it had 
destroyed dusty depot and the prison and had 
damaged a building in tilted towers. From the 
meteor hitting dusty depot, it became dusty divot and 
had hop rocks around it. When hop rocks were 
consumed they had given you extra high jump and no 
fall damage for a limited time. The new movie 
“Avengers: Infinity War” had come out which had 
then made Epic games add in a limited time mode. In 
the LTM you could play as Thanos if you get the 
infinity gauntlet from a meteor coming down. 

 
Season 1 and 2 had set the basic foundations for 
the fortnite battle royale. There were not many 
things interesting and there were only a few 
original players and a few skins. So they added 
more skins in season 2 than in season one. There 
was no battle pass so as a solution you were able 
to buy skins with v-bucks. In season 2 there was a 
need to step up the game so the battle pass was 
added into fortnite. It included dozens of emotes, 
outfits, tools and icons. Fortnite needed a center 
skin for the season so the Black Knight was 
brought in the game. besides the battle pass, there 
was nothing else that stood out about season 2. 
Because of that, epic games decided to put more 
interesting things in other seasons.
