As the wind blows, the sun rises on a beautiful new island, shrouded in mystery and mystical energy. In its darkest corners, demons dwell, wreaking havoc with their masks of chaotic power. Great heroes must rise to drive back the ancient evils that roam this land. Become a ronin and cut through the darkness to find the light in Fortnite Battle Royale Chapter 6 Season 1: 鬼 HUNTERS (Demon Hunters)!
Legends Come to Life[]
Welcome to the Chapter 6 map, where cherry blossoms fall on soil long-protected by spiritual forces and timeworn magic. It’s here you’ll make a name for yourself as a demon hunter.
Ancient Architecture
Virtue is found in tradition. Vanquish the lesser demons laying siege to the grand structure of the Warrior’s Watch, train for combat duty at Flooded Frogs, or ascend the mountain peak to test your mettle against foes at Shogun’s Solitude.
Modern Marvels
The dense commercial district of Seaport City redefines close quarters, while the Shining Span connects it to neighboring villages such as Canyon Crossing, a cliffside getaway complete with competing bun shops.
Supernatural Secrets
In-between the serene landscapes lies sacred ground such as the overgrown Magic Mosses with its obelisks and underground treasures and the Nightshift Forest, where the sun does not shine. Watching over it all is The Great Turtle, a venerable old soul, searching for its lost partner.
Ready Your Blade[]
Dispel the spreading darkness by hunting the dangerous Shogun X, a powerful demon warrior that rampages across the island gathering spirit energy. Defeat Shogun X for the Wanderer Medallion, which grants infinite stamina and invisibility while sprinting.
Beware of Night Rose, whose spirit has been known to stalk those who enter her domain with surprise attacks from another realm. She drops the Night Rose Medallion on elimination, which makes your weapons reload themselves.
Magic & Gunpowder[]
Chapter 6 Season 1 introduces new weapon Expertise Quests, where completing combat quests such as damaging or eliminating players with certain weapons will reward XP and unlock the option to purchase a Legendary version of that weapon type from characters on the map.
All traditional weapons in Battle Royale Chapter 6 will be hitscan! Chapter 6 features futuristic firearms such as the Holo Twister Assault Rifle, Fury Assault Rifle, Veiled Precision SMG, Surgefire SMG, Sentinel Pump, Twinfire Auto Shotgun, and Oni Shotgun.
Unsheath the devastatingly precise Typhoon Blade and unleash a flurry of rapid strikes. While wielding it, you'll consume less stamina while sprinting and sprint faster.
Lesser demons around the island will drop their masks of power when defeated. Don the Fire Oni Mask and launch homing flame projectiles for big damage, or teleport with the Void Oni Mask to reposition and outplay opponents!
Sprites, Sprite Shrines, and Boons[]
Endearing and helpful, Sprites are the living representation of Magic returned to the Island. Found roving all over, these innocent creatures provide unique effects.
- Air Sprites can be thrown to create an updraft wind vortex that can send you flying with a glider redeploy. The vortex can also damage builds and launch vehicles.
- Water Sprites can be thrown to create a healing fountain that restores health and shields to nearby players.
- Earth Sprites will consume items you feed them in exchange for a reward.
Bring a Sprite to one of the forgotten Sprite Shrines around the Island to revitalize them and gain a powerful Boon. Boons, which drop from bosses and can also be found in Chests, are consumed on pickup and persist even after elimination.
- Fire Boon - Reload your weapons faster.
- Void Boon - Eliminating players reveals other players nearby.
- Wind Boon - Move faster while your Pickaxe is equipped.
- Water Boon - Swimming grants Health and Shields to yourself and nearby swimming squadmates.
Ride in Style[]
Calling all speed freaks! Leave enemies in the dust with the new Rogue Bike, a modern motorcycle great for popping wheelies and doing donuts. You can also put pedal to metal in the Void Burn, a sporty high-performance two-door that’ll swiftly get you where you want to be.
New Movement Features[]
Chapter 6 adds Ledge Jump, Roll Landing, Wall Kick, and Wall Scramble to the core movement of Fortnite! These new movement features will be universally applied across Battle Royale, Reload, Fortnite OG, and Creator-made islands.
Ledge Jump
- Parkour! Jump while sprinting very close to a ledge, be it a cliff or a rooftop, and you’ll perform a Ledge Jump! Ledge Jumps will send you farther, allowing you to reach places you normally wouldn’t be able to. Hit a Ledge Jump with some speed for some serious hang time.
Roll Landing
- Keep it moving. Chapter 6 introduces Roll Landing, where holding Jump or tapping it just before hitting the ground while falling will cause you to do a barrel roll, restoring some stamina in the process.
Wall Kick
- Jumping against a vertical surface to your side while in the air will allow you to perform a Wall Kick! Wall Kicks will launch you off of walls in the direction of your choosing. Weave Wall Kicks into your traversal and combat maneuvers to keep your foes on their toes. You can mantle, hit a Roll Landing, or even perform another Wall Kick off of a Wall Kick!
Wall Scramble
- Jumping against a vertical surface in front of you will allow for a Wall Scramble! Reach that high ledge by taking a few big strides up a wall. If it’s mantle-able, you’ll mantle up automatically. Press Jump at any point while doing a Wall Scramble to perform a Wall Kick.
Introducing Simple Edit[]
Simple Edit, a new build setting you can toggle on in the Settings menu, allows for editing builds with a single button press. The resulting edit is based on the part of the building you’re looking at rather than being painted manually — it automatically executes building edits immediately, removing the step of selecting tiles altogether.
Simple Edit makes editing on the fly a breeze, and it should also prove helpful for players who are new to building in Fortnite or interested in learning. Simple Edit allows for a smaller subset of edits to choose from, and masters of the current edit system will have more edit options available.
As with any major addition to Fortnite, we’ll be gathering data and feedback on Simple Edit and may make adjustments to the system in the future.
Slay the Demons with the 鬼 HUNTERS Battle Pass[]

1,000 V-Bucks and unlock premium rewards by earning XP anywhere in Fortnite. You can earn up to 1,500 V-Bucks back by progressing the pass, along with some seriously stellar Outfits:

Awaken the spirit, protect the land. Chapter 6 Season 1: 鬼 HUNTERS ends February 21 at 2 AM ET!
Hey everyone - here’s a look at everything that came with Save The World in today’s v33.00 update! If you recall, back in v31.20 we announced some UI changes with the aim of aligning more closely with other modes across the Fortnite universe.
And so, with the v33.00 release, we’re happy to announce the implementation of the reworked Emote Wheel, which should now look and feel more familiar.
Jam Emotes are also in the works - start warming up to make some noise and jam between Husk waves!
Known Issues
Additionally, we’re aware of the following issues and are working on hammering them out in the upcoming updates:
- The “Request Med-Bot” prompt may disappear/detach from the knocked Survivor and they may not be saved.
- Husks may phase through built floor/ceiling sections from ramps.
- The “Default Hero Appearance” option missing in Locker.
- Values shown for Reload Speed/Magazine Size Perk do not change after modification.
Bug Fixes
That’s not all though! Thanks to your input, we’ve addressed a variety of issues, including:
- Floor Launcher Traps no longer have collision with players or Husks, allowing free movement across them. The Traps remain operational and can be destroyed by the player.
- Cosmetic items equipped through the "Randomize Loadout" option in the Locker now persist after entering a Mission.
- Players who had been affected by the “Successfully Logged Out” error upon entering Save the World should now be able to jump in without further issues.
- While in the Lobby, teammates’ Hero Class icon will now appear correctly, helping players go for an optimal Class combo - especially important in higher Power Level Missions!
- Social Menu icons will now display the currently selected Outfit instead of Default Recruit Outfits.
Compensation
We are granting 100 Legendary Flux to everyone who spent Flux to evolve the Primal Flame Bow. Thanks for your patience while we worked to fix this!
As always, we truly appreciate your ongoing support in flagging issues as we commit to implementing new features. Should you run into any issues related to the Emote Wheel or otherwise, don’t hesitate to mention them in the comments.
Keep the good fight for Homebase going! 🫡
