After the Fortnite community united to unlock Pandora’s Box, its secrets have been revealed. The launch trailer for Chapter 5 Season 2 has finally arrived, confirming many previously rumored content. Let’s delve straight into everything awaiting us in Fortnite Chapter 5, Season 2: Myths and Mortals.
Legends’ Landmarks: Fresh Points of Interest (POI)
As per the official Fortnite patch notes, the battle royale map will feature four new locations straight from the annals of immortal history. Here are the locales you’ll encounter in Chapter 5 Season 2:
Mount Olympus: Where even the mountain itself seems to observe your every step. This legendary abode of Zeus serves as a perpetual reminder of the gods’ influence in Fortnite.
Grim Gate: To enter the Underworld, venture to the island’s western edge and locate the Grim Gate. Here, you’ll confront Cerberus, the three-headed guardian dog, barring your path to the depths below.
The Underworld: Past Cerberus’s vigilant watch lies Hades’s realm, where rivers wind through a desolate landscape, a perpetual reminder of life’s absence.
Brawler’s Battleground: South of Mount Olympus, the air is thick with the bloodlust of Ares. Will you dare to step into the Brawler’s Battleground and take on the god of war’s enduring trial of strength? Additionally, the God of War Ares joins Fortnite as the April 2024 Crew Pack outfit!
Arms, Legends & Enhancements: A Comprehensive Guide to Chapter 5 Season 2 Weapons
Fresh Arsenal
Accompanying the new locales, the patch notes reveal that the gods have bestowed weapons upon mortals, granting them the strength of immortals. Here’s a rundown of all the new weapons arriving in Chapter 5 Season 2:
Zeus’s Thunderbolt: Utilize the Thunderbolt of Zeus to ascend into the air and unleash a lightning strike at your target location. This weapon grants a maximum of 3 charges, with a cooldown period between each bolt. Obtain it by exploring the Island or by vanquishing Zeus himself.
Gatekeeper Shotgun: While the Gatekeeper Shotgun is scattered across the Island, only the Mythic variant is available from defeating Cerberus. Crafted by Hephaestus for Cerberus, this shotgun delivers rapid-fire bursts of three powerful rounds.
Harbinger SMG: Hades’s Harbinger SMG boasts exceptional accuracy on the initial shot, though recoil and spread escalate with successive rounds. While the standard version is scattered across the map, defeating Hades is necessary to acquire the Mythic variant.
Huntress DMR: Inspired by the goddess of the moonlit hunt, Artemis, the Huntress DMR is a testament to precision. While the standard version is available across the map, defeating Zeus is required to obtain the more potent Mythic variant.
Warforged Assault Rifle: Ares, the God of War’s favored weapon, the Warforged Assault Rifle, boasts high damage, a rapid rate of fire, and formidable recoil. Obtain the Mythic version by besting Ares himself, or settle for the standard variant scattered across the map.
Wings of Icarus: Don’t be fooled into thinking Zeus only slipped in an Olympic weapon through the rift; prepare to be amazed by the Wings of Icarus. These wings grant you the ability to soar through the skies and execute devastating dive bombs on your foes. Be cautious, however, as prolonged flight or sustaining significant damage can result in adverse effects. Fortunately, you can find these wings scattered across the map, with no need to vanquish any gods to obtain them.
A new Olympic weapon, the Chains of Hades, is set to be introduced later in the season.

Although the Fortnite patch notes didn’t specify the release time, Chapter 5 Season 2 is already live. The update totals about 17 GB, so we recommend downloading it well in advance of your planned play session.
