What can we expect from the new Fortnite Lawless season?
Chapter 6, Season 2: Lawless will see a return of Midas, who appeared in the first season.

There will be new locations, including Crime City, Turret Train, and more, yet to be announced. New Victory Umbrella and Battle Pass rewards are coming with the new season, so get excited about all the features to unpack.
