Fortnite Chapter 2 Remix is a return to Fortnite Chapter 2. The month-long season starts all the way back in the bygone era of 2019 and Chapter 2 Season 1.
What’s new in Fortnite Remix: Guns, weapons, vehicles, and map
All the unvaulted weapons and vehicles, and the returning POIs

Jeffrey Parkin (he/him) has been writing video game guides for Polygon for almost seven years. He has learned to love just about every genre of game that exists.
This season’s weekly updates will take a tour through Chapter 2, with the hotfixes each week unvaulting new (old) weapons and vehicles from the past, along with new remixes themed to four musicians — Snoop Dogg, Eminem, Ice Spice, and Juice WRLD.
Let’s talk about everything new (and everything old that’s new again) in Fortnite Remix’s first week and beyond. And for look at the timeline, see our guide on the Fortnite Remix schedule.
Fortnite Remix Chapter 2 map

The Fortnite map has reverted to the Chapter 2 map, and that means the return of POIs like:
- Holly Hedges
- Slurpy Swamp
- Steamy Stacks
- Weeping Woods
For the “remix” part of the Chapter 2 throwback, the Agency in the center of the map has become The Doggpound, where you can find Snoop Dogg as a boss. You’ll also find TNTina and Meowdas in the northeast at The Yacht and the southwest at The Rig, respectively.
Before you explore the full map, see our guide to all gnome locations.

- Suppressed SMG
- Suppressed Assault Rifle
- Heavy Sniper Rifle

- Clingers
- Stink Bomb
- Mythic Goldfish
- Bandage Bazooka
- Boogie Bomb (that plays Snoop’s “Drop It Like It’s Hot”)
Some of the unvaulted items will only be available for a week, others will be around for longer — up to the entire length of the season.

Vehicles are getting the same remix treatment, with a couple coming out of the vault, and a new 1966 Cadillac DeVille (in honor of Tha Doggfather himself).
The first vehicle out of the vault is Motorboats, with Choppas coming later in the season.
It’s not clear if more vehicles will be added weekly like they were in Fortnite OG, or if Motorboats and Choppas are all we get.
Fortnite Chapter 2 Remix Kicks
