In Fortnite: Battle Royale, the secret skin from the Hunt Group Challenge is finally in the game. Surprisingly, it is a robot named AIM. It has actually landed in the game and is fueling speculation about the further story.
What is the new skin? Those who have diligently completed all challenges in Season 6 can unlock the secret skin of the Hunt Group Challenge today, with Week 7. However, the new skin is not another monster hunter and not a horror figure.
Rather, it is a martial robot named AIM. Furthermore, it seems the robot has jumped directly into the game world.
Here you can find AIM’s landing spot
Parachute on the toilet factory: Unlike the relatively unremarkable executioner from Season 5, AIM is better integrated into the lore of Fortnite. Because the robot seems to have landed directly on the map.
You can easily see this if you check on the roof of the factory at Flush Factory. There is a parachute hanging from a chimney, fluttering in the wind. The symbols on the parachute match the insignia on AIM’s chassis.
Hint about an airplane? Additionally, some players report that they may have heard a noise reminiscent of a passing airplane today. Shortly thereafter, they noticed the parachute.
It seems to be the suspected airplane in the game.
Data mining leaks have already reported such a mysterious new vehicle. However, it seems to have been the sound file for the robot and not a new vehicle that one can control.
Will robots and science fiction be the new theme?
Since the robot does not fit at all with the monster, mystery, and Halloween theme of the last weeks, many fans speculate that the next story will revolve around robots and science fiction themes.
The cube seems to be history now, after it was constantly present for almost two seasons. So it is time for something new. So why not killer robots?
Robo-Christmas? Why not! Perhaps all of this will mix with the theme of Season 7, which will be holiday-themed according to previous speculation. So robots and Christmas? Stranger things have happened in Fortnite.
