has revealed all of the new gameplay features that are coming to 's latest season, The Wilds, including a thermal DMR, camouflaging in the jungle, and fighting in canopies.
Al🐠ong with revealing how the map has changed as p🅰art of Chapter 3, Season 4, Epic has released a gamep🐲lay trailer for The Wilds that details the new gameplay mechanics and features that Fortnite players are going to learn over the next few months, including camouflage, canopies, new weapons, and rideable velociraptors.
The gameplay trail📖er🎃 begins by showing several players jumping down into the new jungle area, which can be found in the centre of the map. One of the big new features of this area is the ability to camouflage yourself by sliding into mud, which slowly covers up your body. , sliding through the mud will speed you up more than just regular sliding, as well as adding camo to your character.
The jungle also has a level of verticality to it, which can be seen with the new wood vines. These wood vines are similar to the grind rails that feature in 🍷Mega City, only they now twist and turn a lot more. They also seem to lead up to the canopies, which are another big feature of this season. W༺e can see in the trailer that players can stand on top of the trees while fighting, which should lead to some intense firefights.
We also get a glimpse of one of the season's new weapons - the Kinetic Boomerang. The Fortnite website reveals that the Kinetic Boomerang will not only hit whatever is in front of it, but that it can also hit things on its way back. Players can even recall the boomerang if they miss, which also causes a small explosion. There's also the Flapjack Rifle, a new LMG that has a spinning magazine, and the Thermal DMR, which is sure to be a fan-favourite weapon considering how reliable the normal version of the weapon is.
Of course, we can't forget about one of the biggest surprises in this season - Optimus Prime. Not only is Prime featured on The Wild's battle pass, but he also brings with him a piece of Cybertron. The Cybertron Cannon is a new weapon that can be found in this season that shoots out a quick explosive shot.
The last big new gameplay addition of the season is rideable velociraptors, which act similarly to other mounts in the game, only with the unique ability to jump high up into the air. Previous leaks have suggested tha🅷t they ꦬwill tire out though, so it seems like you won't be able to use them for as long as you like.
