Fortnite Chapter 4 Brings The Witcher’s Geralt & My Hero Academia’s Deku

Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 1 has officially arrived in a new update, which will add Marvel’s The Hulk, The Witcher’s Geralt of Rivia, Doom’s Doom Slayer and My Hero Academia’s Deku in the near future.

The latest update also adds the Dirt Bike, newly forged weapons like the Shockwave Hammer and Ex-Caliber Rifle, and Augments, as well as new locations like The Citadel, Shattered Slabs, Brutal Bastion and Slappy Shores. In addition, at intervals in your match, you’ll be given a randomized choice of “Reality Augments.” The longer you remain in the match, the more Reality Augments you’ll have stacked. Your Reality Augments last until the end of the match.

These Augments include the following:

• Light Fingers: Makes your weapons using Light Ammo reload faster.
• Mechanical Archer: Gives you a Mechanical Explosive Blow & Mechanical Shockwave Bow.
• Aerialist: Grants you Glider redeploy for the rest of the match.
• Supercharged: Your vehicles won’t consume fuel and they’ll have increased Health.
• Soaring Sprints: While sprinting, you’ll be able to jump much higher — and jump with lower gravity.

The new update also adds Unreal Engine 5.1 support, which features a “generational leap in visual fidelity, bringing an unprecedented level of detail to game worlds like the Battle Royale Island.” This is accomplished by using Nanite, Lumen, Virtual Shadow Maps, and Temporal Super Resolution on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, PC, and cloud gaming.

Nanite provides “highly-detailed architectural geometry,” Lumen provides “high-quality ray traced reflections on glossy materials and water,” Virtual Shadow Maps allow for “highly detailed shadowing,” and Temporal Super Resolution (TSR) allows for “high-quality visuals at a high framerate.”
