Diving Deep: What’s New in Lawless?
So, what makes this season different from the rest?
Let’s break down the key features that’ll have you hooked:
The Lawless Map: Crime City and Beyond
Forget the serene landscapes of the past.
Chapter 6 Season 2 throws you into the gritty underbelly of Crime City, complete with the Hostile Hotel, Wise Guys Bookstore, and the Launder Mat.
Feeling lucky?
Try raiding Fletcher Kane’s Lonewolf Lair.
But don’t worry, some familiar haunts like Demons Dojo and Shoguns Solitude remain, blending the old with the new.
Black Markets and Dill Bits: The Currency of Crime
Forget V-Bucks (well, not entirely).
This season introduces Dill Bits, the meme coin launched by the one and only Big Dill.
These bits don’t carry over from match to match, so you’ll need to gather them each round, mostly from vaults scattered around the map.
Once you have some, you can head to one of the three Black Markets to buy mythic and legendary items, plus those ever-useful Boons.
Speaking of which, ever wondered what kind of illicit goods you can snag at these Black Markets?
Let’s take a peek:
| Black Market Location | Available Items (Dill Bit Cost = 1 each) |
|---|---|
| Magic Mosses | Mythic Enhanced Collateral Damage AR, Legendary Striker Burst Assault Rifle, Legendary Veiled Precision SMG, Adrenaline Rush Boon |
| Crime City | Mythic Enhanced Sentinel Pump Shotgun, Legendary Sticky Grenade Launcher, Legendary Sentinel Pump Shotgun, Legendary Mammoth Pistol, Gold Rush Boon |
| Masked Meadows/Seaport City | Mythic Falcon Eye Sniper, Legendary Falcon Eye Sniper, Legendary Striker Burst Rifle, Vulture Boon |

Battle Pass Breakdown: Skins, Styles, and Sub-Zero
Let’s be real; the Battle Pass is where the real loot is at.
Chapter 6 Season 2 brings a fresh batch of skins, though some opinions are… divided, to say the least.
Here’s a rundown:
- Cassidy Quinn: A solid start to the pass.
- Joss: Cone head girl?
Opinions vary. - Fletcher Kane: A wolf with style.
Definitely one of the better skins. - Valentina: Some might call her ‘dollar store Catwoman.’
- Big Dill: The rapping pickle himself.
Love it or hate it, he’s here. - Keisha Cross: A more basic skin with a motorcycle helmet alt style.
- Sub-Zero: Can’t hate on the OG cryomancer from Mortal Kombat.
- Outlaw Midas: Everyone loves Midas, but is this the best version?
That’s up for debate.

Now, while some gamers might be a little…unenthusiastic about certain skin choices, it’s all subjective, right?
But you have to admit, that Midas skin is calling you, right?
Fortnite Server Downtime and the Hype Train
Like clockwork, the arrival of “Lawless” was preceded by the ritual server downtime.
Epic took the servers offline around 2 AM ET on Friday, February 21st.
As usual, the downtime lasted a few hours, giving the developers time to implement all the juicy new content.
Eager players could track the server status via the Epic Games status page, but let’s be honest, most of us were just refreshing Twitter every five seconds, right?
SypherPK gives you the lowdown on what the new season has to offer:
