With the recent release of Fortnite Chapter 4: Season 3, the game has introduced exciting features, weapons, and augments, immersing players in a captivating wild jungle-themed biome and new points of interest. However, as is common with popular games, myths, and rumors have quickly surfaced about the new features. In this article, we will debunk the ten most common myths circulating during Fortnite Chapter 4: Season 3 and separate fact from fiction.
10. Myth: The Cybertron Cannon can save you from fall damage.
Reality: True. When aimed at an angle and not directly down at the ground, the kickback from the Cybertron Cannon can save you from taking fall damage! This rechargeable device packs a powerful punch by obliterating builds and dealing 110 damage to enemy players with a splash projectile. With the new elevation found in the jungle biome, this cannon device can be the saving grace you might need if an enemy knocks your builds down or if you inadvertently fall off the edge of a cliff.
9. Myth: You can build while riding on a raptor.
Reality: True. In addition to being able to shoot weapons and take shields, you can also build structures to your heart's content while riding raptors in Fortnite. This truth also applies to other rideable wildlife found in the game, such as boars and wolves. However, remember that building with an animal companion can cause a delay in build placement and may obstruct your view, so it's often more efficient to build without riding.
8. Myth: A Charged Cybertron cannon does more damage than an uncharged one.
Reality: False. Surprisingly, this myth is false. You do not need to fully charge up the Cybertron Cannon for it to deal more damage to builds and enemy players. However, taking the time to fully charge the cannon will allow the projectiles to reach further distances.
7. Myth: The raptor is the fastest rideable animal.
Reality: False. Contrary to popular belief, the boar actually sprints the fastest among all the rideable wildlife in the game. While riding raptors or wolves still offers high speed, if you need to reach the safe zone quickly, your best bet is to hop on a saber-tusked boar.
6. Myth: Covering yourself in mud will block the thermal vision effect.
Reality: True. A new weapon introduced this season is the Thermal DMR. With its thermal scope, players can spot enemies through obstacles and track their heat signatures, gaining a tactical advantage. However, jumping into the mud will cover your player's body in mud and effectively combat the thermal vision effect.
5. Myth: Cars protect you from wasps.
Reality: True. Wasps are a buzzing new feature of this wild new season of Fortnite, and their swarming attacks can seemingly come out of nowhere. If you find yourself in the midst of these buzzing adversaries, hopping into a vehicle can provide some protection from the stinging swarm.
4. Myth: Falling in mud prevents fall damage.
Reality: False. Unfortunately, jumping into the mud is not the same as jumping into the water and will not prevent you from taking fall damage. However, you can use the mud to your advantage by sliding into it, swiftly transporting you across the terrain.
3. Myth: You can fish with the Kinetic Boomerang.
Reality: False. As much as we wished it were true, you cannot fish out weapons and heals using the Kinetic Boomerang. Since the vaulting of the harpoon, many players find fishing to be too time-consuming and opt for other ways to loot or upgrade their weapons. Despite not being able to fish, the kinetic boomerang is still a powerful utility item, capable of damaging players for 60 with each direct hit.
2: Myth: You can hit players in vehicles with the Kinetic Boomerang.
Reality: True. Vehicles will not protect players from the damaging effects of being hit by the Kinetic Boomerang. As the item returns to you after each throw, it can be a useful tool to repeatedly hit your enemies and damage any vehicles or builds they may be trying to hide within.
1. Myth: You can find monkeys in the jungle's trees.
Reality: False. Although the sounds of monkeys can be heard when visiting the new jungle-themed POIs, they are nowhere in sight, at least for now. Fortnite often teases future updates within the current map, so it's possible that the sounds are a hint, and monkeys may make an appearance later in this season.
In summary, Fortnite Chapter 4: Season 3 has brought forth a range of wild new features, weapons, and myths. While some rumors have been debunked, such as the ability to fish with the kinetic boomerang or finding monkeys in the jungle, others have proven true, like building while riding on raptors and using vehicles for protection against wasps. From what we have seen so far, this season is about to be a wild ride, so fasten your seatbelts, and we will see you on the Battle Bus!
