The latest Fortnite Battle Royale update 1.000.167, Chapter 6 Season 2: LAWLESS, brings a high-stakes crime spree to the island. Crime City is now the epicenter of chaos, featuring heists, bank robberies, and armored car raids. Players can go head-to-head with crime kingpin Fletcher Kane, who drops powerful rewards, including the Mythic Double Down Pistol and the Unstoppable Medallion. This season also introduces Dill Bits, a new in-game currency created by Big Dill, which can be spent at underground Black Markets.
New weapons and gadgets enhance the heist experience, including Thermite for vault busting, dual-wield weapons, and new Boons that persist beyond elimination. Players can also attempt to rob Kane’s Armored Train, a high-risk, high-reward target filled with loot. Additionally, Mortal Kombat’s Sub-Zero joins the game, bringing an icy combat kit. The season’s Battle Pass includes Outlaw Midas, Cassidy Quinn, and more, while Cowboy Bebop-themed content arrives on March 1.
