Planes Return
According to Fortnite Insider, its possible the planes could b returning to the game.
Allegedly the The French Fortnite account tweeted the following (translated):
“Set your sights and get ready to fly”.
Is it possible that these plans could be set to return? We know not eveyone will be happy but at least they could be reuring n n a
A This could hint at planes returning in an LTM as a planes LTM was leaked by dataminers in last week’s update.
What else?
It’s conceivable, being easter, that the Egg Launcher – which fires explosive Easter eggs – is set to return in Save the World, but whether it comes to Battle Royale in some guise is still up for debate.
Meanwhile, across the map, the diggers which have been routinely digging up various locations around the map, have now surrounded Loot Lake, suggesting that the point of interest could see some small changes when the game comes back online later today.
Daily Express has also suggested that the Thanos LTM might return this week. Which makes sense given that the new Avengers film is about to hit cinemas.
Likewise, files for the Thanos LTM were once again found in the game, so it is likely to return. It’s just more of a question about whether it’s coming this week, or next.
Stay tuned for all the major changes coming from the new 8.40 Fortnite Update, later today.
