<p>Season 5 has come to an end and Epic has revealed what&#8217;s new with the Fortnite Season 6 patch notes.</p>
<p>&#8220;Darkness Rises&#8221; is the theme for <a href="https://www.epicgames.com/fortnite/en-US/patch-notes/v6-00" rel="nofollow">Season 6</a> and follows the events of purple cube and its <a href="https://www.ign.com/articles/2018/09/19/fortnite-cube-falls-into-loot-lake-creates-giant-bounce-field">subsequent dissolving into Loot Lake</a>. The theme brings a number of map changes including a floating island where Loot Lake was origianlly located, the Haunted Castle, and new corrupted areas where the runes were placed.</p>
</p>
<p>Shadow Stones grant players invisibility for 45 seconds when consumed but will also remove your ability to use weapons. You also receive increased movement speed and you&#8217;re free of any fall damage.</p>
<p>A number of weapons were vaulted, including the Impulse Grenades, Suppressed Submachine Gun, Light Machine Gun, Bouncer, and Remote Explosives.</p>
