Fortnite Chapter 2 Season 1 has been extended by over 2 months to account for new Christmas content and a new live event that Epic say we won't want to miss. "With a new year comes new beginnings! Last year we celebrated 14 Days of Fortnite over the holidays. This year we’ve got even more content for you to unwrap, including new game features, free rewards and a live experience that you won’t want to miss. To prepare for all the new holiday-themed updates, we will be extending Chapter 2’s first season into early February. Get ready for winter!" The shock announcement comes just a few weeks before Chapter 2 Season 2 was expected to go live, and it seems that this may set a new expectation for future season lengths and content as we head further into 2020.

A common complaint about Fortnite Chapter 2 is that the game does not offer enough variety of items due to the reset of the game's loot pool over a month ago. Since then, Chapter 2 has received one new item and really nothing else. Leaker HYPEX has found two new upcoming weapons in the v11.20 files that seem to be Chapter 2-updated versions of the old Scoped Assault Rifle and Heavy Assault Rifle. The rarity of the Scoped AR will be uncommon and rare and the rarity of the Heavy AR will be epic and legendary - with stats being available in the image below.
