Spies and secret agents and henchmen bots have invaded Fortnite today, as Chapter 2, Season 2 kicks off ending last season’s neverending lull.

Along with new challenges, a new Battle Pass filled with really badass skins, and some other changes, there are several new Named Locations on the map.

Each of these Named Locations is filled with peril: AI Henchmen roam about, including Boss Henchmen, and sentry turrets will gun you down if they spot you.

Fortunately you can use phone booths to disguise yourself as one of these armed thugs and move about freely (though they will detect you if you get too close). You can find out where these phone booths are located right here.

Here’s each new location on the map for Chapter 2, Season 2:

Located in the dead center of the map, The Agency is the spy fortress we see in the new season’s cinematic trailer where Midas and the other secret agents have gathered. It’s a cool location with vents you can crawl through, henchman to avoid and various other secrets to explore including a secret vault you can only access with a key card you get from defeating the boss. There are five of these cards. You’ll find the Shadow Keycard at The Agency:

The Grotto is an underground base on the eastern side of the map. You have to glide in from above where you’ll see a giant perfect circle that opens up to this shadowy fortress. Lots of goons and sentry guns await, but also a Phone Booth, supply cache and secret vault. You’ll find the Grotto Keycard here:

Another secret base, this time in the islands in the northwest portion of the map. A stylish house sits atop a shark-shaped rocky outcrop with a watery cave inside. The house feels like a beach house of some celebrity, but it’s just a cover for what lies beneath. It’s all very James Bond villain. Here you’ll find the Shark Keycard:

I wonder if the Yacht will remain in the northeastern corner of the map or if we’ll see this one move around as the season unfolds. I’m leaning toward the latter (or at least hoping). It’s definitely a swanky ship and might even be relaxing if not for the henchmen and sentry turrets. Here you’ll find the Ghost Keycard:

An oil rig off the southwestern coast of the map, The Rig is another cool offshore location teaming with henchman bots. Cranes and shipping containers dot its surface, and you’ll find a phone booth and a vault just like the rest of these locations. You’ll get the Rig Keycard from the boss here:

At each of these locations you’ll find Supply Caches that are locked and require an ID Scan. You’ll either need to be disguised as a Henchman or knock one down and carry it to the ID Scanner to get in. Don’t try to break these. All the loot will disappearâ€"and it’s typically very good loot, though not Supply Drop good.

Finally, here’s the new map with all the named locations on it:

I’ll keep an eye out for new landmarks and other changes but as of now these five new Named Locations are the biggest changes I’ve seen. Let me know if you spot any on Twitter or Facebook.
