Get "Lawless" with four new points of interest (POIs)
Crime City is the standout POI in the Chapter 6 Season 2 update. This is the one that appeared in most of the promotional material, including the gameplay trailer. However, three other locations have spawned on the western side of the map, replacing a few from Season 1.
Epic Games has provided a list and description of each new drop spot, which you can see below:
- Crime City - You’re sure to find mayhem in the seedy underbelly of Crime City, the ultimate stomping ground for all manner of corrupt and crooked misfits. Make sure to visit the Hostile Hotel, Wise Guys Bookstore, and the Launder Mat for a full criminal excursion.

- Lonewolf Lair - Security is tight around Fletcher’s mansion hideout, Lonewolf Lair. Anyone bold enough to challenge his growing empire is in for a fight!
- Outlaw Oasis - Unwind at the Outlaw Oasis, a high-end hangout luxury spa and resort where burglars typically relax and recover after a busy day of swiping huge hauls.
