Fortnite Remix Chapter 2: All the New and Returning Map Changes You Need to Know

As Fortnite wraps up Chapter 5, Epic Games is taking us back in time with Fortnite Remix Chapter 2, a throwback season that runs through November and brings with it both nostalgic vibes and fresh twists. Remix Chapter 2 is packed with familiar spots from the old Chapter 2 map, but it doesn’t stop there. With new points of interest (POIs) inspired by music icons like Snoop Dogg, Eminem, Ice Spice, and Juice WRLD, there’s a lot more to explore. This guide covers all the map changes in Fortnite Remix Chapter 2 so you can make the most of this short but eventful season.

New POIs: Where Music Meets Battle Royale

One of the most exciting parts of Remix Chapter 2 is the addition of music-inspired POIs that will launch weekly, each bringing its own flavour and unique experience to the map. Here’s what to expect:

1. The Doggpound – November 2

Location: Agency Compound
Snoop Dogg kicks off the season with his custom POI, The Doggpound. This area replaces The Agency and comes with a full makeover inspired by Snoop’s iconic style. Look out for NPC Snoop Dogg, who will offer exclusive items and weapons for gold. Expect a lot of action here as players converge to snag his special gear and get a feel of the Doggpound vibe.

2. Mom’s Spaghetti – November 7

Location: Grotto Cave
Eminem’s POI, named Mom’s Spaghetti, takes over the Grotto cave, promising an adrenaline-pumping atmosphere. NPC Eminem will offer his own set of exclusive items, and the vibe here will have a gritty underground feel, fitting perfectly with the cave’s natural cover. This spot will be a go-to for those seeking a close-combat battle royale experience.

3. Ice Isle – November 14

Location: Shark Island
Week three brings Ice Isle, Ice Spice’s frosty POI on Shark Island. This spot is perfect for long-range battles, with NPC Ice Spice adding a unique flair to the otherwise icy terrain. Whether you’re here to test your sniping skills or just to explore, Ice Isle is sure to bring the chills and thrills.

4. WRLD Point – November 21

Location: Undisclosed
The season’s final new POI, WRLD Point, is dedicated to Juice WRLD. Expected to feature some of his most iconic elements, this POI is a tribute to his influence. Here, players can find Juice WRLD’s NPC offering powerful gear, making this location both a homage and a battlefield hot spot.

The Return of Classic Chapter 2 Locations

If you’ve been a long-time Fortnite fan, then Remix Chapter 2 is about to hit you right in the nostalgia. Many classic locations from Chapter 2 are back, and here’s the full list:

• The Yacht
• Craggy Cliffs
• Steamy Stacks
• Pleasant Park
• Sweaty Sands
• Frenzy Farm
• Dirty Docks
• Salty Springs
• Holly Hedges
• Weeping Woods
• Lazy Lake
• Retail Row
• The Rig
• Slurpy Swamp
• Misty Meadows

These locations bring back some classic gameplay strategies. Whether you’re a fan of the aggressive firefights in Salty Springs, the long-range tactics of Craggy Cliffs, or the resource-rich Sweaty Sands, these locations will feel like home for many returning players.

Remix Battle Pass and New Cosmetic Items

With the Remix season comes a new battle pass, which pays homage to classic Fortnite skins from Chapter 2. Expect remixed versions of popular skins, giving them a fresh look for the Remix era. Additionally, this season introduces Kicks, Fortnite’s new shoe cosmetics that can be applied to the majority of skins in the game. The first set includes the Air Jordan 1 high top, which comes free with the Remix Pass, as well as other funky options like shark slippers that bring a dose of humour to the game.

The Impact of Weekly Map Evolutions

In Remix Chapter 2, the map will evolve with each new POI release, creating a dynamic gameplay experience that shifts week by week. Not only do the weekly POIs add new challenges, but they’ll also alter popular landing spots, so players will have to adjust their strategies on the fly. Epic has hinted at an upcoming flood event that may change the map’s water levels, bringing back motorboats and adding more aquatic gameplay elements.

This flood expected midway through the season, could create new areas or cut off certain parts of the island, giving players new traversal challenges and fresh tactical options.

Strategies for Remix Chapter 2

To make the most of this season’s map changes, here are a few tips to get ahead in Remix Chapter 2:

1. Land at POIs Early: With each weekly drop of new POIs, these locations will be hot spots for players eager to try out the new NPCs and exclusive weapons. Landing here early can give you the best shot at scoring some unique loot.
2. Rotate to Classic Locations: With so many fan-favourite locations returning, don’t sleep on areas like Pleasant Park or Weeping Woods, which can serve as great mid-game rotation spots.
3. Prepare for Map Flooding: If the rumoured flood event happens, having a plan to adjust your routes and strategies could be key to survival. Mastering motorboat controls and underwater combat tactics will likely be essential.
4. Experiment with Kicks: New shoe cosmetics like the Air Jordan 1s will be part of the fun this season, giving you fresh options to stylize your favourite characters. Kicks work with a vast range of skins, so get creative with your look.

Epic’s choice to blend classic locations with new musical artist-inspired POIs makes Remix Chapter 2 a standout season. It’s an invitation for OG players to relive the nostalgia of Chapter 2 while enjoying new elements. And for newer players, it’s a chance to experience Fortnite’s past with a modern spin.
