Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 3 map shows runners and the shattered coast in the original Chapter 7 Battle Royale island timeline. Chapter 7 Season 3, Runners, transformed the island after the Shattered event. The new Shattered Coast combined and rearranged recognisable territory with a fresh layout, making the season feel closer to an island reset than to an ordinary collection of new named POIs.
The map below is from update v41.00, with a before-and-after comparison further down the page. The version number is important because Fortnite changes its island within seasons, sometimes adding locations weeks after the launch image was recorded.

Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 3 map: Major locations and landmarks
The Battlewoods, Heatwave Harbor, Cluster Coast and Sunken Shores were among the places associated with the redesigned island. The Battlewoods reinterpreted the earlier Battlewood region, while coastal changes altered where players could land and travel.
Shattered Coast changed the shape and arrangement of the land itself. This mattered as much as the new names: familiar rotations no longer worked quite the same way, and players needed to learn new routes between locations.
What changed on the island for Season 3?
Showdown’s v40.00 map retained much of the Pacific Break island while adding faction landmarks. Runners’ v41.00 map introduced an extensively rearranged geography, which is why side-by-side pictures make the difference especially striking.
The v41.00 image is the launch layout from Runners. The chapter’s later updates can change individual places, so the date of a map image is essential when comparing it with gameplay clips.

Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 3 map: What happened after launch?
Season 4, Override, added new locations and Override Consoles to the evolving island. The August launch map is a separate historical snapshot, not a replacement for the Runners picture.
The v41.00 image is the launch layout from Runners. The chapter’s later updates can change individual places, so the date of a map image is essential when comparing it with gameplay clips. The chapter’s island history becomes clearer when these snapshots are kept in chronological order rather than treating the whole season as one fixed version of the map.
Why Shattered Coast deserves its own comparison
The Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 3 map is one of the chapter’s biggest changes because recognisable locations were remixed within a broader reassembled island. Heatwave Harbor and Sunken Shores gave the new coastline different destinations, while The Battlewoods brought back a familiar name in a changed setting. Comparing the v40.00 and v41.00 maps is the clearest way to see that shift.
