Dive in to discover which old favorites and unexpected remixes are waiting for you this week.
The month-long season started with a live event and kicked off the Remix season with The Doggfather, Snoop Dogg, and continued with the addition of Slim Shady and Ice Spice.

Let’s talk about everything new (well, everything old that’s new again) in Fortnite Remix’s Week 4 update.
Fortnite Remix map changes for Week 4
In Fortnite Remix’s Week 4 update, the most notable map change is the return of Catty Corner in the southeast part of the map.

This update continues the theme of reviving and reimagining Chapter 2 locations, maintaining the nostalgic feel of the map while adding fresh elements for players to explore and engage with.

How will the return of Catty Corners and classic weapons change my gameplay
The return of Catty Corners and classic weapons in Fortnite Remix will significantly impact your gameplay by reintroducing familiar strategies and high-stakes loot dynamics. Catty Corners, once known for its fortified layout and valuable vault, offers a nostalgic drop spot with opportunities for early-game loot and tactical positioning. While the vault’s keycard and boss mechanics may not be fully active yet, the area is still a hotspot for players seeking quick upgrades and intense early encounters.
Classic weapons like the Tactical Shotgun and Dual Pistols are also back, which means you’ll need to adapt your loadouts and combat tactics. These weapons favor aggressive, close-range play and reward players with strong aim and fast reflexes. Expect a faster-paced meta, as many players will gravitate toward these powerful, familiar tools, making early fights more competitive and unpredictable.
Overall, you’ll need to be ready for increased competition at Catty Corners and adjust your strategies to leverage-or counter-the strengths of returning weapon favorites.
How will the vault and keycard mechanics affect my loot strategy at Catty Corner
The vault and keycard mechanics at Catty Corner will make your loot strategy much more high-risk, high-reward. To access the vault’s high-tier loot, you’ll need to defeat the boss NPC, Kit, who drops the Catty Corner Keycard upon elimination. This means you’ll face not only Kit and his henchmen but also other players competing for the same powerful rewards, turning Catty Corner into a hot drop zone with intense early-game fights.
If you manage to secure the keycard, you can use it to unlock the vault and claim exclusive loot, giving you a major advantage for the rest of the match. However, because the vault is a major draw, you’ll need to be prepared for ambushes from players lying in wait or attempting to steal the keycard off your elimination. This dynamic encourages careful planning-either dropping directly into Catty Corner and fighting for the keycard or landing nearby to gear up before making your move.
In summary, the vault and keycard mechanics force you to weigh the risks of early confrontation against the potential for game-changing loot, making Catty Corner a focal point for aggressive and strategic play.
