It seems that one of the upcoming patches for Fortnite will bring the announced jetpack. Dataminers are finding hints about it – also about the new mode “Shotgun.” The next updates in Fortnite could take players to great heights.
After a quarter of a year break: The jetpack was announced in Fortnite back in February, but was then postponed. Players in Fortnite: Battle Royale have been waiting for a quarter of a year for it to finally be added to the game.
Hint found: And indeed, there is now a hint that the jetpack will really be coming soon. Dataminers from FNBRLeaks have discovered that there is a challenge “Use a jetpack” in week 5. There are 5 Battle Stars as a reward.
Jetpacks are likely coming to Fortnite on May 29
Is it coming next week? Logic dictates: If the jetpack is needed in a challenge, it must be introduced beforehand. The challenge has been found for week “5” of Season 4. That would be on May 29 – so it could be that the jetpack comes next week. It’s less likely that the jetpack will appear this week.
Maybe as part of a new mode: Dataminers have also found hints of a new “limited time mode.” It’s called “Shotguns.” This mode should involve close-range battles where players use shotguns and jetpacks: A completely reasonable and obvious combination.
The Jump Button Lets You Take Off with the Jetpack
How will the jetpack be used? The description of the new mode contains hints on how to use the jetpack in Fortnite. You should press the jump button twice to take off. Then hold the button down to boost. Players should be cautious not to run out of fuel before landing.
Take with caution: The hints are currently based on datamining. They are not official. It’s quite possible that things will get delayed again, and players will have to wait longer for the jetpack.
With the upcoming patches, the secret story of Fortnite is sure to continue:
