Major Gameplay Features Removed
One of the most shocking removals is roll landing—a fall damage-prevention mechanic introduced at the start of Chapter 6. Players quickly noticed it no longer worked in the Star Wars season.
“Roll landing is one of 33 things removed this season.”—Top Five Gaming
Also gone are boons, the surprise buffs from chests that rotated seasonally. This includes the elemental chest near the turtle couple, which has been quietly deleted with no official mention from Epic.
But perhaps the biggest shock of all is the removal of ammo—yes, really. For the first time in Fortnite history, ammo crates are gone due to the blaster-based loot pool. Every weapon now has unlimited ammo, which dramatically changes how players manage inventory and engage in fights.
POIs and Loot Changes Across the Map
Several iconic and fan-favorite POIs have been altered or blocked off completely. For instance, Shiny Shafts, once a hot drop for gold farming, is now filled with impassable rockfalls. The Dilbit Mines have also been sealed off, which not only removes a key location but eliminates dill bits and any connection to Big D and the crypto-themed black market.
Vaults have been blown open, heist bags are missing, and gold generation options have drastically decreased. Even Fletcher Kane’s mansion has been looted—his personal safe already emptied of its gold bars.
The golden llamas, mythic goldfish, and Fletcher Kane’s presence as a whole have been scrubbed from the island. His replacement train now moves in both directions and offers a new exclusive mythic blaster, but Kane’s influence is all but erased.
“You can’t even find golden llamas anymore… I really feel like we should have appreciated it while it lasted.”—Top Five Gaming
Items, Cosmetics, and Surprising Nerfs
This season also gutted several items, both mechanically and visually. For instance, the Star Wars glider update gives Poe Dameron’s X-Wing (and others) a new animation when the trigger is pressed—a great change. But on the downside, water sprites at shrines now only give a single purple blaster.
Utility items like forecast towers now feature Imperial banners, with access controlled by AWR troopers. That’s not the only area experiencing a military revamp—ranked mode has been rebranded, replacing “Elite,” “Champion,” and “Unreal” with Admiral, Grand Moff, and Emperor.
“Now you’re competing to earn the title of Admiral, Grand Moff, and finally, Emperor. Honestly? W change.”—Top Five Gaming
Epic even tweaked XP gain, reducing discovery bonuses at new landmarks by 90%. And cosmetics weren’t spared either. Super Styles are currently glitched, losing their 3D and galaxy effects—although many players say the matte black bug actually looks cooler.
Secret Adjustments and Storyline Delays
Fortnite also paused the ongoing Naigo storyline. Players expecting to follow his journey into the Spirit Realm will now have to wait, as the spirit portal is destroyed and the arc is postponed until later this chapter.
Even seemingly minor changes carry weight. The cantina flute, once interactive in Chapter 2, now sits uselessly on the stage in Mos Eisley. You can’t change the music—you’re stuck listening to the same loop forever.
Another fan-favorite storyline—the great turtle romance—has also been affected. Their home was destroyed by the new cantina POI, and the couple is now wandering the map in search of a new home.
Fortnite’s Star Wars season didn’t just add epic crossovers and lore-rich content—it fundamentally reshaped the way we play. With entire systems like ammo, vault looting, and POI access stripped away, Chapter 6 Season 3
FAQs: Fortnite Season 3 Removed Features
Why did Fortnite remove all ammo this season?
Ammo was removed because all blasters this season have unlimited shots, making traditional ammo crates unnecessary.
Can you still use roll landing to avoid fall damage?
No, the roll landing mechanic introduced in Chapter 6 has been disabled for Season 3.
Are gold vaults and safes still in the game?
No. Most vaults have been blown open, and even Kane’s personal safe has been looted and removed.
What happened to Fletcher Kane?
Fletcher Kane has been written out of the game. His train remains, but he and his crypto-driven content are gone.
Why aren’t super styles glowing anymore?
A visual glitch has caused 3D and galaxy-style super skins to appear matte black. This is expected to be patched.
