The Fortnite Reload update brings a new sniper, maps, and explosives to Fortnite Chapter Five season three. Here’s what you can expect:

  • Magneto Power: A new mythic or legendary item that unleashes Magneto’s power.
  • Heavy Impact Sniper: A new sniper.
  • Ship In a Bottle: A deadly Pirates of the Caribbean item.
  • Remote Explosives (C4): A new explosive to make your enemies go ka-boom.
  • Buried Treasure: New treasure maps to find stashed loot.
  • Flint-Knock Pistol: This pirate pistol from season eight makes a comeback.
  • Crash Pad Jr.: This trampoline utility item from chapter four makes a comeback.

While some are new, the Crash Pad Jr. and Flint-Knock Pistol had already been available in previous seasons.

Pirates of the Caribbean skins, cosmetics, and emotes

In the Fortnite Reload update Pirates of the Caribbean get mentioned quite a lot. Here’s what you can expect from this collab in Chapter Five, season three:

New emotes that resemble Jack Sparrow’s movements in the movie: Jar of Dirt, which shows Jack finding a jar of dirt like in the film, and the iconic Sparrow Run, which has him run out of trouble.

The only confirmed skin isn’t Jack Sparrow. There are mentions of Davy Jones, Captain Barbosa, and Elizabeth Swann in the update. Jack also comes with two styles: his regular, human self and a skeleton outfit.

There’s also a new in-game item called Ship in a Bottle. This green flask bottles a cursed ship that deals damage to your opponents.

The Fortnite x Pirates of the Caribbean collab would not be complete without new points of interest to match the theme. There are new map overlays, especially of ships, to match the theme.

Fortnite Reload game mode with the OG Map and loot

Fortnite Reload comes with the original graphics and lightning from Fortnite and a mini Chapter 1 map during Chapter Five season three.

As a reincarnation of OG Fortnite, you can expect POIs like Tilted Towers, Lonely Lodge, Pleasant Park, Retail Row, and Loot Lake. But there are also new points of interest like Sandy Sheeps and Lazy Laps.

In this mode, you can also use some weapons from the original, like the Revolver, Tactical Shotgun, Lever Action Shotgun, OG Heavy Shotgun, Tactical Submachine Gun, Infantry Rifle, Heavy Assault Rifle, Bolt-Action Sniper Rifle, Rocket Launcher and Grappler.

To some’s delight, there are absolutely no vehicles in Fortnite Reload.

Upcoming X-men x Fortnite collab

In the Grand Glacier, you can find a new landmark called Grand Glacier Bunker in Fortnite Chapter Five, season three. At the moment, this bunker remains closed, with a few Wolverine claw marks at the bottom.

This landmark is a nod to the upcoming X-Men and Fortnite collab since this will become the Weapon X secret lab in a future update. Still, you can now see the landmark clearly marked on the map.
