However, there are some pretty significant changes that were made to it. The biggest new POI is Frigid Fortress, which houses the Ice King. At least at the start of Fortnite Showdown, there are four new main POIs you should be aware of:New SanctuaryScreenshot: Epic GamesFrigid FortressScreenshot: Epic GamesDark DominionScreenshot: Epic GamesSquibbly ShoresScreenshot: Epic GamesFortnite Chapter 7 Season 2 Gameplay Features (Drive the Battle Bus, Rivalries)Screenshot: Epic GamesThe big feature of Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 2 is the new rivalry system. The first time you log in, you will be forced to choose a side: Team Foundation or Team Ice King. As CH7S2 progresses, you will earn points for your team. Whichever side has the most points by the end of the season will unlock a rare skin for every player’s battle pass (even the losing team).The two skins are Frost-Ready Foundation or Exalted Frost Ice King. So yes, in theory, one of these skins will be lost forever and will never be obtainable. So choose your team wisely! Here is a full list of Chapter 7 Season 2 gameplay features:Drive the Battle Bus – every match a player at random will be chosen to drive the battle bus. If they manage to fly through rings, everyone in the match will earn XP and a Supply drop.Rivalry Mechanic – While in a match you can visit a Rivalry screen and challenge another player on the map to a duel.Winning a duel will then earn you Rival Credits which you can use to buy rare Rivalry Gear such as exotic weapons. Rivalry Rank – the more rivalry duels you win, the more your rank goes up. The higher your rank, the better loot you’ll unlock at Rivalry Gear machines.When Does Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 2 End?Screenshot: Epic GamesAccording to dataminer ShiinaBR, Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 2 will end on Friday, June 5, 2026. That means the Fortnite Showdown season will be on the shorter side, clocking in at around two months.Given that Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 1 lasted close to 3.5 months after being delayed, most players will likely find this welcome news. Regardless, if you want to unlock everything in the Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 2 battle pass, you better get started as soon as possible!The post Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 2 Weapons and Map Revealed – Full Loot Pool, New POIs and Features appeared first on VICE.
