Chapter 2, Season 2 or Fortnite will release soon, after the release was delayed three times by Epic Games. The Fortnite v12.00 update files are now available for download and leakers have already released the new map from the 9GB PC update.
When new update files become available, dataminers rush to leak as much information as possible. This time, popular dataminer Hypex discovered the new Chapter 2 Season 2 map, which they shared with the community. Even just by looking at the map, players can see that there have been changes.
Fortnite Chapter 2 Season 2 Map
Perhaps the most obvious map update is a building atop the central island. Due to the scale of the building and the theories surrounding the Season 2 teasers, the agency's headquarters may be on top of the central island.
It looks like there may be a completely new location on the map, in the southwest area of the map near Slurpy Swamps, floating in the water. There is also a new island in the top left of the map, which appears to have buildings built on it.
There is another small island in the top right of the map, with a yacht or other type of boat next to it. This is likely the location that was featured in the Battle Pass trailer.
Helicopters in Fortnite?
There could also be Fortnite helicopters, as some new images that have been released suggest. Along with a few new locations, an image appears to depict a helicopter flying through an opening to land at a helipad. Could this be the agency's headquarters?
