Your mission, if you choose to accept it, is to uncover the secrets of Fortnite’s Season 2 update. The new spy-centric content drop includes loads of hidden goodies for players to find, and because the developers, Epic Games, didn’t reveal any of the details in an official patch notes, we’re going to have to cobble everything together ourselves. There’s a lot you need to know — like new evil NPCs, mythic weapons, teleporters, disguise booths, and a secret Deadpool skin.
There’s bound to be more secrets in the future, so I’m postmarking this article — here’s everything we’ve found on 2/20/20. Because this is the start of Season 2 (of Chapter 2), there’s going to be a lot of balancing changes, weapon vaulting (or unvaulting) and skins to unlock along the way. With a new focus on super-secret agencies, there’s no doubt going to be some Easter egg floating hidden below the surface.
Let’s explore what’s been added. Slip into your fanciest tuxedo, and let the spy games begin. If you’re feeling nostalgic, you can explore the Fortnite: Chapter 2 map with our full sight-seeing guide.
