Fri Feb 21 07:00:00 UTC 2025: ## Fortnite’s “Lawless” Season 2: Crime, Chaos, and Dual-Wielding Guns
**Epic Games is set to launch Fortnite Chapter 6, Season 2, titled “Lawless,” this Friday, February 21st.** The current season ends Thursday night, bringing with it several hours of server downtime for the update. Players can expect a significant overhaul, trading in demon hunting for a Grand Theft Auto-inspired crime spree.
The new season introduces “Crime City,” a major new Point of Interest (POI), along with armored trains and banks ripe for robbing. Gameplay will be spiced up by the introduction of dual-wielding weapons, including a new shotgun and the Mammoth Pistol (with a potential Mythic version for returning character Midas). The Rocket Ram also returns as the Rocket Drill. Melting snow in certain areas suggests further map changes.
A star-studded Battle Pass awaits players, featuring the return of fan-favorite Midas from Chapter 2, Season 2. Joining him is Sub-Zero from Mortal Kombat, promising themed powers and potentially other characters from the fighting game franchise. Other additions include the rather unusual inclusion of anthropomorphic pickles and hotdogs.
“Run amok in Crime City – gold vaults, Rocket Drills, and so much mayhem,” Epic Games teased on Twitter. The update promises a fresh Victory Umbrella and other Battle Pass rewards. Prepare for a wild ride when “Lawless” launches early Friday morning!
