Image result for fortnite chapter 2

Fortnite Chapter 2 has released with some fresh new content recently. After the original Fortnite map was destroyed by a Black Hole (and Epic Games dramatically declaring it as "The End"), Fortnite concluded Chapter 1 with Season 10.

Chapter 2 Season 1 is now out, with a fresh new Battle Pass, a bigger map, a better XP system, and new cosmetics (with an option to upgrade them). There have been some new additions to the map such as Craggy Hills and Holly Hedges and some older areas such as Pleasant Park were also retained.

Each area has something new to discover so here's a Fortnite Chapter 2 map guide and what you can discover in these areas.
