One of the most exciting things about Fortnite is how it evolves. The map is constantly changing as the game gets older, and the Chapter 3 map is a prime example of that.

While it has plenty of new points of interest, it also features a couple of returning ones, such as Greasy Grove and Shifty Shafts. This gives users something to look forward to and a bit of nostalgia at the same time.
