The map itself is smaller than we had last season, which should help focus battles into tighter areas.

As reported on readwrite on Friday, we we also now get access to Family Guy’s Peter Griffin and Metal Gear Solid’s Solid Snake in the Item Shop at points in the new season, but both leaked characters are not yet available

How to unlock Solid Snake and Peter Griffin in Fortnite

Solid Snake isn’t available just yet, and you are going to have to wait until towards the end of January before you will get one of gaming’s stealthiest characters to play with. January 23rd to be exact, which is a pretty long wait in Fortnite terms.

Griffin meanwhile can be obtained right away, but you will have to level up your Battle Pass to Level 70 before you can unlock the skin. You can purchase level unlocks of course if you want it earlier, but, well that is up to you. There are other Family Guy items that you can also unlock throughout the Battle Pass including:

Piñata Brian Back Bling
The Scratcher Pickaxe
Wacky Wavers Contrail
