Squid Grounds Reload Map

The new Squid Grounds map reimagines iconic scenes from the Netflix series. Key POIs include bunk beds, red light green light, glass bridge, and the colorful stair maze. These areas aren’t just for show — each has interactive mini-games that offer loot and XP rewards.

Secret Glitches & Krypto Trick

As of this update, throwing a Krypto Treat at Supernova Academy’s A-rank vault can unlock it — even if you’re only Rank C. Although Epic patched the old bunker glitch, a new method involving an SUV lets players once again glitch under the map at science labs. While you can’t shoot through it, it offers complete invisibility.

Battle Royale Additions

Despite being a Squid Game-focused update, Epic also brought content to Battle Royale. This includes the return of the Kinetic Boomerang and a hilarious misspelling on the Surf Cube, which now reads “Controlls” in-game.

Free Emote and Twitch Drops

A new emote called Dakji Flip is available completely free via Twitch Drops. To claim it:

Link your Epic Games account to your Twitch account at epicgames.com
Watch a Fortnite stream with the “Drops Enabled” tag
Watch for 30 minutes to earn a banner, 1 hour for the Cuddle Doll spray, 1.5 hours for the Guard Spray, and 2 hours for the free emote

Important: Drops begin on July 27 and end just two days later, so act fast.

Creative Mode Tools

Creators now have full access to official Squid Game assets like the red light green light doll, cookie shapes, VIP masks, and more. Expect to see high-quality Squid Game islands in the Discovery tab very soon.

Item Shop Skins

14 new skins have dropped, featuring:

Games Manager: Based on the head guard
Pink Guards: Three variants with customizable masks
Contestants: Select from different heads, tag symbols, and numbers (001–456)

Gameplay Chaos

Supernova Academy is currently a hot drop location in BR, with frequent action and bosses like Core spawning nearby. Players can use Crypto Treats to open doors, access mythics, or attempt the (patched) under-map glitch.

Everything Else

New Mythics: Redeye SMG and Surf Cube (mythic variant included)
Glitches: Crypto door opener still active, spelling error on item UI
Vault Access: Reach Hero Rank A to unlock mythics instantly
Bosses: Defeat Core to earn medallions and unique weapons
