Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 1 delivered some significant changes to the battle royale and beyond, as the game embraced the movie theme set up by the missing Kill Bill chapter premiered at its launch. There are several movie star characters included in the Battle Pass this time around, along with a whole new map to discover and some interesting changes to certain mechanics. To find out more, these are the biggest changes in Chapter 7 of Fortnite.

There's a brand new map for Fortnite Chapter 7

The Fortnite Chapter 7 map has been completely updated for a new island, which is a sunny paradise resembling elements of Hollywood itself. The main new POIs are here, with more to discover as the season rolls on:

Battlewood Boulevard
Bumpy Bay
Classified Canyon
Humble Hills
Sandy Strip
Wonkeeland

The Battle Pass delivers fresh characters

The Battle Pass for Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 1 is heavily steering into the movie references, with The Bride from Kill Bill and Marty McFly from Back to the Future appearing as two of the main characters. You can also collect Miles Cross, Cat Holloway, and a new version of Dark Voyager and add them to your collection.

There are fresh weapons to equip

As always, there are plenty of Fortnite new weapons to get your hands on, and this time they are more responsive and have smoother Aim Down Sights transitions as you switch between stances. The loot pool now includes:

Arc-Lightning Gun
Deadeye Assault Rifle
Forsaken Vow Blade
Holo Rush SMG
Iron Pump Shotgun
Twin Hammer Shotguns
Vengeful Sniper Rifle

Wingsuits open up new ways to traverse the island

Grab yourself one of the new Wingsuits, and you can deploy it for an instant boost into the air, followed by a glide for as far as you can ride the wind – you can even perform tricks such as loop the loop as you soar! Watch out for hot air balloons floating across the island, as they can also be boarded and ridden from one area to the next.

You can now reboot on the move

If a member of your squad is down, you can now jump into a Reboot Van and drive it to them to deliver aid directly – throw them in the back and the revive will begin. There are also Self-Revive Devices you can find and carry with you in your inventory, which will let you revive yourself while Down But Not Out to stay in the fight, though if you don't have one of those then there are several fresh moves you can make while DBNO including rolls and tumbles, sprinting, using ziplines and ascenders, and even getting into the passenger seat of a car.
