What happened to the map in Fortnite Season 4?

The meteor crashed into the world of Fortnite at the end of Season 3 and it's drastically changed the map forever more.

Dusty Depot is no more and has been replaced by Dusty Divot - it was expected that the Tilted Towers would have been struck, but the popular area was saved.

Dusty Divot is a giant crater that lets users jump around in a low-gravity environment once they collect hop rocks.

Other areas of the Battle Royale island have been hit by smaller meteors.

Away from the crash site is the addition of a brand new drive-in cinema called Risky Reels.
