Crip Walking, a transforming Snoop Dogg and Chapter 2\u2019s original map all hit Fortnite this last Friday, remixing perhaps the most fan-favorite chapter of the game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Starting with Festival content, where popular singers perform while the game finishes its final updates, Snoop Dogg and Ice Spice hit the stage, with the live performance in New York City streaming to players\u2019 screens. Both performers have been added in-game as both skins and on-map bosses, with Snoop Dogg\u2019s skin currently available in the Fortnite item shop and Ice Spice\u2019s skin dropping Nov. 14. Eminem also makes his second appearance in the popular video game, with a skin in the item shop and a controlled area dropping Nov. 7.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Other new content not originally from Chapter 2, which makes this season the remix, includes low rider skins for vehicles with hydraulics now on all vehicles, a Crip Walking emote that has the opening of \u201cDrop It Like It\u2019s Hot\u201d by Snoop Dogg playing in the background and mashup skins. The popular Midas skin now has its counterpart \u201cMeowdas,\u201d which is essentially Midas turned into a cat. This skin is available on the second-highest tier of the battle pass.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The only new addition to the original map is \u201cThe Doggpound,\u201d where Snoop Dogg waits for players to engage in a boss battle. Once defeated, Snoop will become a non-playable character who aids the player in the battle royale. Once Ice Spice and Eminem are added to the game, they will act in the same fashion as Snoop, but without their own themed compounds. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The rest of the map has stayed the same, with only the bosses changing within their compounds. Midas no longer controls his yacht, his new counterpart Meowdas does, with Ice Spice and Eminem taking over the Grotto and Shark Island respectively. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Weapons and explosives from Chapter 2 have returned, good news for players who use the \u201csnipe and hide\u201d offensive. The Heavy Sniper Rifle and Semi-Automatic Sniper Rifle have both returned, meaning in-game snipers will now be much more lethal. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The return of explosives like stink bombs, clingers and remote explosives gives players a certain edge when working with area-of-effect items since they can now blind and stick to opposing players. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
On the final night of the season, Fortnite will also pay tribute to Juice WRLD, with a live event honoring the late rapper\u2019s legacy and love of the game. All players who log in between 1 a.m. Nov. 30 and 1 a.m. Dec. 1 will receive a cel-shaded Juice WRLD skin. More details about this event will be released as the season progresses. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
