Pour one out for Ritzy

Folks, a new Fortnite map has dropped and they’ve done it. They’ve taken away Ritzy Riviera from us. Moment of silence for the fallen

In my first article for coachdukessports.com, I wanted to give you all a quick overview of the new map in Fortnite. With a major update that probably took all of Duke’s PS4’s strength, we have some new locations, and said goodbye to some of the past spots. 

Replacing Ritzy is the Underworld and Grim Gate. We haven’t fully explored the grim gate yet, but the underworld has a dark aura around it and is filled with some green water which gives you a boost once you’ve taken a dip. Each location has a boss that you can fight, similar to previous seasons. Some of them have dogs and mutants that attack you as well. Overall Underworld is a hot spot and a solid 6/10 drop for the boys. 

In the SE part of the map we have Mount Olympus and Brawler’s battle grounds, both busy drops for the lobby. They went with an Ancient Greek theme for these and are pretty good locations if you’re looking to get your piss hot. I really like the aesthetics of these two so they get a 7.5/10.

The last spot to get a full update is Restored Reels. Honestly we didn’t drop here when it was Ruined Reels and probably won’t directly drop here now. But it’s a good spot to stop by because usually nobody has looted it. 5/10. Nothing crazy.

They have added bunkers in the map which open at random times and are supplied with some nice loot and a Weapons benches too. These are helpful in a pinch if you have crap loot. 

There are some new weapons and modes of transport but I won’t get into that on this one. Hope everyone enjoys this new map and makes some memories with the boys.
