Fortnite’s Chapter 6 Season 4, called Shock ‘N’ Awesome, provides players with new excitement and troubles with a bug invasion theme. This season turned the island into a game filled with swarming bugs and brand new battles. The main stage is Oninoshima Island, a zone consisting of new and old points of interest (POIs), providing a new lively experience and freshness for every player wanting to adventure on the island and engage in battle.
Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 4 New Points of Interest (POIs)
This season adds four important new POIs with lots of bug enemies and good loot to find:
The Hive

In the northern area of the island, The Hive has taken over for Lonewolf Lair. While there are many bug swarms around, players should be ready to battle hard. The risk is high, but so is the loot.
Swarmy Stash

Swarmy Stash is in place of Flooded Frogs. It is smaller but still full of bugs and good things to loot. It is located between The Hive and O.X.R. HQ, making it a quick area to kill bugs and loot.

Once a weapons lab that was taken over by bugs, Ranger’s Ruin has replaced Crime City now. This location brings danger along with loot as players will have to fight hard bugs for great supplies.

Ranger’s Ruin is the new deployment base, currently in place of Brutal Boxcars, and is found just east of the previous base. The base is equipped with barracks and an Armory where you can buy weapons and gear with Bars, to use for the season.
Returning and Reworked POIs
Familiar favorites are also back keeping some of the familiar places on the island:
- Supernova Academy is still in the central north, with its school style and appears to have more loot.
- First Order Base is still a solid, imperial theme.
- There are still places like Foxy Floodgate, Shining Span, Outlaw Oasis, and Resistance Base.
- Demon’s Debris and Shogun’s Solitude still have their bosses and objectives connected to their lore.
