The Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 2 Resistance is finally out and available to download. This is quite a big update with multiple new additions and changes as well. Apart from new features, Epic introduced a new SMG, Striker Burst rifle, and much more.
Let’s check out what’s new in the Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 2 Resistance:
Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 2 Resistance Features
OVERSHIELD
Building has been wiped out! To help maintain cover, you now have an Overshield on top of your Shield and Health. The Overshield is your first line of defense: before your Shield and Health take a hit, it’s your Overshield that’ll crack. Your Overshield will still recover if it goes all the way down to 0.
TURRET DETERMINATION
A different kind of vote is live right now. Instead of an item unvault vote, it’s a Turret device vote! Different pro-Resistance sites need help deciding whether to install a Light Turret or a Heavy Turret. With the former, get the classic Mounted Turret experience. With the slower but beefier latter, do heavy damage to vehicles. The first site that needs help is Sanctuary!
ARMORED BATTLE BUS
There’s another way you can contribute with Bars right away: funding the Armored Battle Bus.
The Armored Battle Bus is a Battle Bus that’s… ready for battle. This intimidating metallic machine has just about all the fixings: Chonkers tires, a Cow Catcher for extra ramming power, and a Light and Heavy Turret.
It’s not all business with this vehicle, though. If you turn the radio on, it immediately becomes a party bus! Once 100% Funded, find an Armored Battle Bus in Resistance-occupied POIs.
Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 2 Resistance Movement Upgrades
SPRINTING
Run at the new, faster default movement speed. A faster default movement speed means a faster sprint too! This sprint is so fast that it’ll mean pocketing whatever you’re holding. Of course, sprinting super fast can’t be maintained forever, so a new sprint meter will tell you how much longer you can move at that pace.
MANTLING
Gaining the high ground has always been key to winning a battle. And fortunately, where your feet fail, your hands will now help you out. If a surface is just a little too high for your jump — or a platform just a little too far for your landing — your hands can come into play and pull you up!
SHOULDER BASHING
Speaking of sprinting, sprint at doors to bash them open with your shoulder. It’s probably not very polite, but at least you look cool doing it.
Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 2 Resistance Weapons
Combat SMG
Like the Combat Assault Rifle and Combat Pistol, the Combat SMG packs a heavy punch. Tame its recoil to get the most out of its exceptional power.
Striker Burst Rifle
The Striker Burst Rifle is a burst-rifle with a customized sight. Strike with this two-shot semi-automatic weapon as you aim with the scope!
