Fortnite’s Chapter 5 Season 3 is dubbed Wrecked, and features Mad Max-like wastelands with car mods and war-torn characters. The island has also shifted so that the southern portion is filled with desert to reflect this.
The Greek mythology theme from last season isn’t fully gone, as Mount Olympus and The Underworld are still on the map. The southern part of the map has been consumed by wasteland desert, so you’ll be able to find new characters like Peabody and Brite Raider (outfits that are also included in this season’s battle pass) roaming around.
Below, we explain the map and loot pool changes for Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 3.
Fortnite map changes for the Chapter 5 Season 3 update
As mentioned above, the southern part of this map has been consumed by bright desert regions with areas where you can amp up your car. There are four new points of interest: the Nitrodome, Sandy Steppes, Brutal Beachhead, and Redline Rig.
