Some of you may currently be on your super leveling journey, while some of you are close to starting. So what are the super leveling rewards in Chapter 2 Season 6? Let’s go over them.
The Spire has sent a mysterious energy influencing Tarana, Raz, and Spire Assassin, creating multiple “Relic” Styles for each: Chromium, Runic, and Golden. Below are each Style and the Levels for unlocking them:

If you’re still getting used to what’s new in the Primal season, or just wondered “what’s that all about?”, we’re here to help cover some of the best tips as you run wild in Chapter 2 Season 6.
On the Island, players usually associate fish with defense -- acquiring health, shield, and affecting movement. One of the season’s newest fish, the Cuddle Fish, brings a new school of thought.
After catching one, toss it on the ground to set a proximity attack that will ambush your opponents.
Just like fish, the roaming Wildlife are an excellent resource for survival. Hunt them to get Meat.
Keeping Meat in your inventory not only means you can consume it to quickly recover your HP, but you can also use it to lure predators towards your enemies.
There are also rumors you can tame aggressive Wildlife, convincing them to join your pack and hunt alongside you.
Following last week’s Crafting p...

After the Zero Point sent a mysterious pulse across the Island, survival skills have become more essential than ever. Knowing how to craft your own advanced items can give you the upper hand in these primal times.
There are many crafting combos, but if you want to begin with the basics, pick up a Makeshift weapon and change it into a Primal weapon... or perhaps something more familiar. Learn how below!Fauna is flourishing on the Island. After hunting down a beast of the land, if you have a Makeshift weapon in your inventory, interact with the Animal Bones to craft a Primal version of that weapon. Primal weapons tend to deal higher damage than others.
The Primal Rifle in action.
You can also pick up the Animal Bones instead of interacting. Once picked up, they’ll appear in your inventory Resources so you can craft a Primal weapon later. To do this, just open up the inventory menu, switch to the Crafting tab, and select which of your equipment ...

Whether he’s microsized or megasized, Ant-Man has always been ready to help save the day. Sized appropriately for Battle Royale, he’s the latest Marvel Super Hero to join the hunt.
Designed by scientist Hank Pym, size up your opponents wearing the iconic Ant-Man suit — available now in the Item Shop. The Item Shop also features the Toothpick Pickaxe and Ant-Man’s trusty steed, Ant-Tonio, who will have your back… or at least be your Back Bling.
Ant-Man may be his human height on the Island, but that doesn’t mean you can’t shrink him down with the power of perspective. For our next Fortography theme, make Ant-Man (or any character!) seem tiny with your in-game photos. This means more than just zoomed-out screenshots — use your photography skills to make your subject seem legitimately micro. (For example: Make a tree seem giant in comparison!)
