Introduction of powers

As of now, there are four types of particular powers from Thor, Wolverine, Groot and Doctor Doom. The first involves throwing the character's own hammer and causing damage to a predefined area. The second provides claws that can be used for duels. The third emerges with a tree pod capable of knocking out opponents and destroying structures. Finally, the latter makes it possible to launch a bomb that explodes and generates damage in the area.

Each of them can be used independently of the skin and is usually found through chests carried by the Stark drones, which are scattered randomly across the map and yield different types of items when they are destroyed. As an example, all the powers can be seen in the trailer for the new season, released on Fortnite social networks and made available below.

New Stark Fish and Robots

Altogether seven new types of fish were introduced. Midas, which transforms all items included in the backpack to legendary. Shield, in order to yield a certain amount of shield. Revenge, which shows the location of the closest opponents. Hop Flopper, having an antigravity power. Jellyfish, which can be used to shield and heal nearby players. Thermal, providing a thermal view to see opponents. Spicy, which allows the possibility to run faster.

In some places on the map, it is possible to observe a ship landed with a chest composed of robust items and Stark robots. They are responsible for protecting it and operating with artificial intelligence. This is in a very similar way to the henchmen.

New skins

The game will feature new skins available in the Battle Pass, they are: Thor, Jennifer Walters (Crimson) from the Hulk-Woman set, Groot, Storm (Punk), Doctor Doom (Divine Emperor), Mystic (Tactical), Tony Stark from Iron Man and Wolverine (Classic) set. Players will be able to purchase these skins as the level progresses.

It is worth mentioning that all costumes have a built-in gesture that can be unlocked at a higher level on the Battle Pass itself. Also through challenges awakening each of the skins. In this case, the gestures unlock an animation characteristic of Marvel characters.
