The limited run of Fortnite Chapter 2 Remix is quickly wrapping up, but there’s still a lot for players to pursue before the final event kicks off and downtime for Chapter 6 begins. Much like last year’s Chapter 4 Season OG, Epic Games is closing out each year of Fortnite seasons with a nostalgic twist. This time, Chapter 2 is getting its moment in the spotlight, albeit only for a month. Given the shortened season, players have had very little time to complete their Battle Passes and explore the Chapter 2 map.
Ahead of the transition to a new chapter, there’s always an abundance of activities for Fortnite players. However, as we approach the start of a new chapter, everything is subject to change. Players will have diverse priorities to address before the downtime starts, but there are a few crucial items every fan should consider wrapping up before Chapter 2 Remix disappears.
When Does Fortnite’s Chapter 2 Remix Conclude?
The Countdown Is On
Downtime for the conclusion of Fortnite Chapter 2 Remix is set to begin at 10 p.m. ET on November 30, 2024. Usually, matchmaking is turned off 30 minutes before server shutdown, making this a notably earlier deadline than past season endings. Players are encouraged to mark this deadline on their calendars.
Not much information is available about Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 1, titled Hunters, but it is expected to launch on Sunday, December 1, 2024. Of course, this could change if Epic encounters any technical issues. Teasers from Fortnite’s social media indicate that this season may incorporate elements of Japanese culture and mythology, alongside collaborations featuring Godzilla and Disney’s Big Hero Six character Baymax.
What Needs to Be Wrapped Up
Focus on Finishing the Battle Pass
Completing the Battle Pass is crucial for Fortnite players as Chapter 2 Remix was notably brief, leaving limited chances to earn XP outside of standard gameplay. To finish the Battle Pass, players need to hit Level 50 to unlock the Shadow Meowdas outfit and complete the standard Battle Pass, and Level 70 to secure all bonus rewards including Super Styles.
Beyond standard matches, players can maximize their final hours in Fortnite Chapter 2 Remix by attempting the following:
- Complete Quests: With a limited number of Quests available this season, players should prioritize finishing the four weeks of Chapter 2 Remix Weekly Quests, as well as completing as many Daily Quests and Milestones as possible for extra XP to level up.
- Locate the Gnomes: Discovering and interacting with hidden Gnomes around the island rewards players with bonus XP, which is particularly valuable when aiming for the Super Styles in the Battle Pass.
- Explore Other Game Modes: Engage with different modes like Creator Made Island experiences, LEGO Fortnite, and Fortnite Festival to stack up on XP.
Fortnite’s Quests are the fastest route to earn XP, so prioritize those during the last days of the season, then use other methods as a supplement. Completing Weekly Quests is also the exclusive way to unlock the Dynamo TNTina outfit and associated cosmetic rewards, so those should be tackled first.
Participate in the In-Game Concert and Grab the Free Juice WRLD Skin
Fortnite enthusiasts should aim to log in for Remix: The Finale, a concert on the Battle Royale Island, on November 30, 2024, at 2 p.m. ET, or catch the planned encore. This event will feature performances by Snoop Dogg, Eminem, Ice Spice, and Juice WRLD, showcasing Snoop Dogg’s new single “Another Part Of Me (feat. Sting)” along with a new Juice WRLD track titled “Empty Out Your Pockets.”
The Slayer Juice WRLD outfit is a unique, cel-shaded skin celebrating the late rapper Juice WRLD, featuring a matching pickaxe, back bling, and loading screen. This outfit can be obtained from now until the final day of the season during the Fortnite Chapter 2 Remix: The Finale event. Players can claim it by logging in anytime between 9 a.m. ET on November 25 and 10 p.m. ET on November 30, and it will be available the next time they log in. After this period, it will only be purchasable from the Item Shop.
What Else to Consider
Fortnite Chapter 2 Remix introduced exciting new weapons, formidable NPCs, and nostalgic points of interest, but they won’t be around much longer. Players should aim to experience everything on their list before it’s all gone, as significant changes are in store for Fortnite Chapter 6. The table below outlines additional activities players might want to consider squeezing into their last matches of this short yet nostalgic season.
|
Activity |
Reason |
|---|---|
|
Experiment with Different Weapons |
Many beloved nostalgic weapons and items, such as Decoys and Impulse Grenades, are likely to be vaulted after Chapter 2 Remix concludes. Familiarize yourself with various weapons and items now to adapt more easily when the loot pool changes in Chapter 6. |
|
Visit Favorite Locations |
The current Fortnite map has transformed significantly from Chapter 5, showcasing nostalgic sites from the Chapter 2 era. Some of these locations will likely disappear once Chapter 6 kicks off. Be sure to land at your favorite named locations a few more times before they’re gone. |
|
Try Out Speedboats and Choppers |
It’s unclear which vehicles will appear in Fortnite Chapter 6. If you haven’t taken the chance to test these returning favorites, give them a spin before the season ends, just in case they’re replaced by new options. |
|
Rank Up in Fortnite Ranked |
Ranks will reset when Fortnite Chapter 6 begins, so if you’re close to earning final rewards, now’s the time to grind for those last ranks. |
|
Try Fortnite Reload |
If you’ve done everything you want in Remix, or haven’t played Reload recently, this mode could be a fun way to practice with a different loot pool and revisit the Reload map before Chapter 6 starts. |
|
Engage NPC Bosses and Test Their Mythic Weapons |
The NPC bosses in Fortnite Chapter 2 Remix have impressive kits and powerful Mythic weapons worth experiencing at least once before they’re likely vaulted. Notably, the Eminem Minigun boasts a clever design that is worth a laugh. |
In conclusion, Fortnite Chapter 2 Remix has brought a wealth of exciting new weapons, powerful NPCs, and nostalgic locations that players should explore before they shift. As Chapter 6 rolls out, significant changes are expected. Make sure to accomplish everything on your list before the finale!
