G3NZFortnite’s Chapter 6 Season 2, aptly named “Lawless,” has burst onto the scene, bringing a whirlwind of crime-themed chaos, from bank heists to armored car robberies.
Amidst the mayhem, eagle-eyed dataminers have unearthed intriguing assets hinting at unreleased handcuff cosmetics that might have been left on the cutting room floor.
The Great Handcuff Mystery
In the ever-evolving world of Fortnite cosmetics, not every concept makes it to the Item Shop.
Recently, renowned leaker ShiinaBR shared tantalizing images of six handcuff cosmetic designs that never saw the light of day.
These designs range from sleek golden restraints to futuristic, high-tech shackles.
The absence of any in-game mechanics involving handcuffs suggests these items were likely shelved during development.
This isn’t the first time Epic Games has teased us with content that didn’t make the final cut; weapon charms faced a similar fate, sparking both curiosity and disappointment among fans.
‘Lawless’ Season: Crime Pays (In V-Bucks)
The “Lawless” season doesn’t just flirt with crime—it marries it. Players can now channel their inner outlaw by:
- Robbing Banks: Use explosives like Thermite to breach vaults and claim the treasures within.
- Hijacking Armored Cars and Trains: Engage in high-speed chases and intense shootouts to seize valuable loot.
The map has undergone a gritty transformation, introducing locales such as Crime City, complete with the Hostile Hotel and the Launder Mat.
For those looking to unwind after a hard day’s heist, the Outlaw Oasis offers a luxurious retreat—just watch your back.
Big Dill: The Rapping Pickle We Didn’t Know We Needed
In perhaps one of Fortnite’s most unexpected crossovers, the game introduces Big Dill, a giant pickle with a penchant for rap.
This briny bard isn’t just about spitting rhymes; he’s also launched his own in-game currency, Dill Bits.
Players can earn and spend Dill Bits during matches, but don’t get too attached—they reset after each game.
Big Dill’s musical debut, “Runamok,” is available as a Jam Track, allowing players to drop from the Battle Bus with a pickle-powered soundtrack.
New Skins: From Cryomancers to Condiments
The “Lawless” Battle Pass is brimming with new skins that cater to a variety of tastes:
- Cassidy Quinn: The mastermind behind the heists.
- Fletcher Kane: A wolfish crime lord with a penchant for chaos.
- Big Dill: The aforementioned rapping pickle, bringing a tangy twist to the battlefield.
- Sub-Zero (MK3): Straight from Mortal Kombat, this cryomancer is ready to chill the competition.
Weapons and Utilities: Tools of the Trade
To thrive in this season’s underworld, players have an arsenal of new weapons and gadgets at their disposal:
- Thermite and Plasma Burst Laser: Essential for cracking open those pesky vaults.
- Collateral Damage Assault Rifle and Falcon Eye Sniper: Perfect for mid to long-range engagements.
- The Kneecapper: A melee weapon that not only deals damage but also boosts mobility, making getaways smoother than ever.
Utility items like the Port-A-Cover provide instant, albeit cozy, cover during shootouts, while the Pulse Scanner helps detect enemies lurking in the shadows.
Moments and Kicks: Tunes and Shoes
Adding a personal touch to the mayhem, the new “Moments” feature allows players to select specific tracks to play during key in-game events, such as dropping into the map or securing a Victory Royale.
On the fashion front, the introduction of “Kicks” lets players customize their footwear, though some have raised eyebrows at the price tag of certain branded sneakers, with some costing up to 1,000 V-Bucks.
As “Lawless” unfolds, players can expect a season rich with content, surprises, and perhaps a few more mysteries waiting to be uncovered.
Whether you’re orchestrating the perfect heist or simply grooving to Big Dill’s latest track, Fortnite’s latest season promises an experience that’s both thrilling and delightfully unconventional.
