Loopers celebrate after The Seven defeated the Imagined Order. The Reality Tree appears, changing the southwestern part of the island into a Reality biome. Reality Roots grew and smaller Reality Trees appear from the roots, changing several locations. The Seven investigated the Reality Tree and the Zero Point but most of their members mysteriously went missing.

How Did This Season Start?[]
After an unknown substance called Chrome began to appear on the Island, the remaining members of The Seven go into a secret research base under Sanctuary to research it. However, the Chrome begins to rapidly spread, consuming the rest of The Seven, besides The Paradigm, who escapes to Reality: 659 through The Zero Point.
With no one left to defend the Island and The Zero Point dormant, The Herald appears and uses her abilities to create a Sanctum over the remains of Sanctuary, and continue spreading Chrome across the Island. Despite the efforts of No Sweat Insurance to keep most locations safe by lifting them into the air, the Chrome still manages to spread to nearly every location on the Island as The Herald's goal was to reach the Reality Tree.

Main Article: Fracture A last resistance of loopers attempt to defend the Reality Tree against The Herald. The resistance fails as The Herald fuses with the Reality Tree and covers all the Island in Chrome, ending with the destruction of both Artemis and Apollo. With the help of the loopers collecting Zero Fragments, they manage to repower the Zero Point, allowing Zero Fusion to begin, taking the remaining pieces of the original Islands as well as lands from other realities and fusing them to create a new Island: Asteria.

Trivia
Trivia[]
- This was the fourth season to start on a Sunday, the third being Chapter 3: Season 3, the second being Chapter 3: Season 2, and the first, Chapter 3: Season 1. Therefore, all seasons of Chapter 3 started on a Sunday as this season was the last of Chapter 3.
- Mark Rein's teaser word for Chapter 3: Season 4 was "Shiny," referencing the look and texture of the Chrome.
- The music used in the Battle Pass trailer is Get Down by FJØRA.
- It is assumed that Loopers salvaged the crashed blimps to repair them.
- Despite the theme being centered around Paradise, the lore and storyline are akin to an apocalyptic invasion, as the Herald desires to consume the island with Chrome and destroy it in the process.
- This was the season with the highest number of map name and geographical changes to certain areas.
- Logjam Lumberyard was affected the most, as of this season, having changed from the name to Logjam Lotus, in the previous season, then changed that same season into Logjam Junction, then finally, in this season, when it was submerged in chrome, changed into Chromejam Junction.
- Season 4's Key-art is the only key-art of Chapter 3 without the Battle Bus located somewhere in the image.
- This is the first season and onward that Donald Mustard was not involved in.
- According to uncovered leaks in former-seasonal studies, when going back to the assets, a weapon named Chrome Queen's Burst Rifle, now scrapped, was meant to be released instead of the released The Herald's Burst Rifle. This suggests that 'Chrome Queen' may have been an alternatively-proposed name for 'The Herald', which would have instead been introduced into Fortnite officially.
