Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 1, also known as Pacific Break, is officially here, and you’ll explore the Golden Coast, which is based off of the west side of the United States.
As always, with a new chapter, there is a brand-new island for players to explore. If you’ve ever traveled to the West Coast, some of the POIs in this season may look a bit familiar. Locations like Battlewood Boulevard, Sandy Strip, and Classified Canyon are Fortnite‘s spin on iconic U.S. landmarks. But, that’s not all, as there are a ton of new gameplay changes, like surfing onto the island instead of riding the battle bus.
Here’s everything new in Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 1, including the map, weapons, and more.

What else is new in Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 1
A lot has changed in Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 1. As soon as you load into a game, you’ll notice that instead of riding the battle bus, you’re surfing on top of a giant tsunami. You won’t be able to drop close to the center of the map anymore, but you can surf around the island to choose where you’d like to land along the coast.
After you’ve landed, there are a lot of gameplay changes that you should know about:
- Down, but not out: There are a few more ways to revive yourself in Chapter 7 Season 1. There are now drivable reboot vans and self-revive devices that will allow you and your squad mates to quickly get back into action.
- Become the boss: After you defeat Human Bill, Hush, or Beach Brutus, you can transform into them —gaining health, shield, infinite energy, and a powerful ability. However, your position will become visible to nearby players at all times.
- Rift anomalies: After each Storm phase, there’s a chance for a rift anomaly to appear. There are a wide array of anomalies such as one that spawns rift portals all around the map and another that will make everyone who is crouching or standing still invisible.
- Gold bars: Gold bars will no longer carry over in between matches, so don’t forget to spend all of your gold or else you’ll lose it!
- Simple build: For No Build players looking to learn how to build, there is a new setting called Simple Build that will make building much easier to do.
- UI overhaul: If you think your Fortnite looks a little different, that’s because it does! Your inventory, emote wheel, hitmarkers, and even your elimination notification have been adjusted in Chapter 7.
