After 36 hours of waiting, Epic Games finally ended the "Black Hole" event and introduced new Chapter 2 to Fortnite. Along with a ridiculous amount of new stuff for BR, we've also got a lot of fun additions to Creative Mode.

You will see some new prefabs, islands, devices, and improvements to existing devices. You’ll also discover a new way to have your creations featured.
