Crash the Party in Fortnite Battle Royale Chapter 5 Season 3: Wrecked!
Ah, the wasteland… a sprawling expanse where possibilities seem as vast as the grains of sand. The Wasteland Warriors have laid claim to this territory, bringing a new meaning to being a scrappy crew. Each warrior is an automobile expert, fiercely defending their domain. In Fortnite Battle Royale Chapter 5 Season 3: Wrecked, players are thrust into the driver’s seat to face off against these vehicular villains!
Welcome to the Wasteland
A ferocious sandstorm has swept over the Island, creating a new biome in the south known as the wasteland. The Wasteland Warriors have already staked their claim, moving as fast as their tricked-out cars. Their key locations include:
Redline Rig
Redline Rig is a Nitro refinery run by The Machinist, the Wasteland Warriors’ master mechanic. Nitro is a powerful substance that can make you feel irrepressibly strong, whether in a car or on foot.
Nitrodrome
Ringmaster Scarr, the master of chaos and destruction, presides over the Nitrodrome, a circus of car spectacle.
Brutal Beachhead
Brutal Beachhead serves as the base for the Wasteland Warriors, led by the formidable Megalo Don. Be cautious, as his rage surfaces quickly.
There are more areas to explore in the wasteland, including the transformed Snooty Steppes, now known as Sandy Steppes.
Go Nitro
Across the Island, you can find Nitro Splash or Nitro Barrels, both sourced from Redline Rig. Nitro Splash is a portable Nitro container that you can throw to infuse your car or yourself with Nitro. Nitro Barrels, when struck, will fly off and explode upon landing.
