Fortnite Chapter 2 Remix Official Trailer – YouTube
Look
The Fortnite Chapter 2 Remix Prelude kicked off today and included a surprise performance by Snoop Dogg and Ice Spice that streamed live from Times Square in New York, and the season kicks off in full tomorrow and ends on November 30.
Fortnite Chapter 2 Remix will replace the bosses from the original chapter with rappers like Snoop Dogg, Eminem, and Ice Spice. Meanwhile, the “remixed and reimagined” Chapter 2 will also include a live celebration of late rapper Juice WRLD and give players a commemorative outfit if they attend.
For the uninitiated, Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 5 was titled Chapter 2 Remix, which is a way of saying that the game brings back old maps, events, and items and “remixes” them, in this case, with a rap theme.
That's right, says Epic on the official Fortnite website. Chapter 2 Remix is bringing back the old Chapter 2 map, but with “weekly placement and loot boxes inspired by the best of Chapter 2's early game and some of the biggest music icons in history.” Specifically, you'll now meet Snoop Dogg at the Agency (now “The Doggpound”), Eminem at the Grotto (now “The Spaghetti Grotto), and Ice Spice at Shark Island (now “Ice Isle”).
If you manage to defeat Snoop, he will gift you Snoop's Drum Gun Mythic and will also join you as an ally. Snoop is also the Fortnite Festival Season 6 icon, meaning you'll be able to unlock his LBC '93 Dogg outfit by picking up the Music Pass, and you'll find the Snoop Dogg outfit in the store.
Meanwhile, Eminem brings with him the new Rap Boy Reloaded outfit, which will be added to the Shop in Week 2, and if you manage to beat him, he will join your cause and give you his Mythic RG Minigun, which spits out lyrics. to Eminem's hit song Rap God in the trailer above.
Ice Spice will be found in the “neon-lit, Y2K-bathed abandoned mall with a sinister aura” that is the remixed version of Shark Island, and taking it down will earn you Ice Spice's Grappler and Ice Spice's Mythics Rifle. Ice Spice. . Her special outfits are called Ice Spice Outfit and Rap Princess Ice Spice Outfit. Both feature Benny The Jeweler's princess necklace and will be in the store starting week 3.
Finally, the Remix: The Finale live event will begin on November 30 at 2 pm ET. Exact details of the event will be released at a later date, but for now Epic says that all players who log in between 1 a.m. ET on November 30 and 1 a.m. ET on December 1 will receive the Slayer Juice WRLD outfit with ombre of cells. The cosmetic will also be available for purchase in the Store “at a later date” if you are unable to attend the event.
You can get all the details on the new season here, but the rap-themed boss battles, maps, items, and events are definitely the highlights. Fortnite is the king of crossovers, and even with hundreds of them under its belt, including one with another version of Eminem, I can't say I've seen one like this.
Meanwhile, Fortnite is saying goodbye to its various Battle Pass currencies and hello to the old XP, with rewards that will soon be unlocked no matter which modes you play..
