Top Secret
Fortnite Chapter 2 Season 2
Resumen de la temporada
Spies and Secret Agents
Fortnite Chapter 2 Season 2, titled "Top Secret," launched on February 20, 2020, and is widely regarded by the community as one of the greatest seasons in the game's history. The island was taken over by covert operatives belonging to two rival factions: GHOST and SHADOW. This season fundamentally changed PvE elements in Battle Royale by heavily populating specific POIs with AI Henchmen, security cameras, and automated turrets. Epic introduced a unique Battle Pass mechanic where players had to choose a permanent GHOST or SHADOW style for their outfits, with the community's overall choices actively altering the map's bases over time. Season 2 also introduced the massive "Astronomical" Travis Scott concert, breaking concurrent player records, and culminated in "The Device" live event where Midas attempted to defy the Storm itself. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the season experienced multiple extensions, ultimately running for 118 days.

Map & POI Changes
Landmarks, locations and changes that shaped this season.
Five new covert bases were added to the map: The Agency (center), The Yacht (northeast), The Shark (northwest), The Grotto (east), and The Rig (southwest). Over the season, these bases shifted allegiances between GHOST and SHADOW based on community Battle Pass choices, altering their visuals and the AI guards present.

Other mechanics included Shakedowns (to reveal enemy/chest locations), Disguise Booths (to fool AI), ID Scanners, and Secret Passages (teleporting via dumpsters and porta-potties).

Live Event / Finale
The Device. On June 15, 2020, Midas activated a massive Doomsday Device at The Agency to push back the Storm. Players were temporarily teleported to a first-person office in the "real world" (introducing Agent Jones). Back on the island, the Storm was temporarily replaced by a terrifying, massive wall of water (a tsunami) that completely enveloped the map.
