Fortnite, Forknife, tomato, tomahto. The running joke of Forknife in meme culture and in the game continues and Epic Games carries on the comedic nod with much more than a vehicle sticker. This time, the joke is embedded into the map itself:

The above map addition can be seen close to Fatal Fields with a carving resembling both a fork and a knife. It's clever and we're easily amused, don't judge.

It's one of many new map additions and changes that players can find. We've compiled up a list of them right here for those looking to see what other fun areas there are to explore. From Lazy Lagoon, to those beautiful Sunny Steps, there's a lot more to enjoy now that the climate is heating up.

Other additions include:

  • Added Lava
    • Lava will deal 1 damage per touch and will cause players to bounce off the surface. Watch out!
  • Added Volcanic Vents
    • Volcanic Vents will boost players and vehicles into the sky in a gust of hot air!
  • Party Assist Added
    • Prior to a match, enable Party Assist on a Daily or Weekly challenge to complete it with the assistance of everyone in your party.
    • Party members are able to provide progress to the selected challenge in addition to yourself.
    • This functionality excludes "fill" players who are added into the party during matchmaking or teammates from large team modes such as Team Rumble.
  • Increased Infinite Dab duration from 11 hours to 12 hours in the lobby.
  • Cozy Campfire now glows while active when viewed through a Thermal Scope.
  • Starting in Season 8, daily quests will be automatically claimed once they've been completed.
    • Any Challenges that were ready to be collected will be auto completed and all rewards will be delivered. However, at this time there will be no in-game notification for you receiving these rewards.
