What new elements does Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 2 introduce?
The theme of Greek mythology brings a wealth of exciting new features to the game, and Epic Games has delivered some captivating additions.
Players can discover the Thunderbolt of Zeus, a powerful artifact that allows them to leap skywards and cast lightning bolts at adversaries. Additionally, the Wings of Icarus offer the ability to glide through the air, catching opponents off-guard from above.
However, these powers come with restrictions – the Thunderbolt of Zeus is limited to three uses, and the Wings of Icarus will disintegrate if overused, adding a strategic layer to their use.
Moreover, a third mystical ability, the Chains of Hades, will be introduced later in the season. Keep an eye out for an upcoming update for more information on this intriguing new power.
