Fortnite 2.5: Zero Point |OT| Mando and Baby Yoda part you from your V-Bucks

I'm not up to speed on any leakers. Is there a pop culture theme they're expecting? Or a more traditional Fortnite orientated theme?

It's really hard to say. there hasn't been too many leaks in regards to the theme. they just suspect wolves or big wolf like npc's will roam the island. but that was said to be apart of this season and it didn't happen.

If what they suspect is true, this could be the greatest season ever if they use the mode with ghost mechanics from the fall for WEREWOLVES. Imagine if everyone killed by a werewolf turned into one like people turned into ghosts around Halloween?

True, but as of right now it's all rumor. no one knows what is in store for season 6, some are afraid it'll be a DC collab and others are on a board with the idea. I believe maybe one DC Character will be the secret battle pass skin. the rest your standard original ones designed by epic games.

Here is the covers for the upcoming batman/fortnite: zero point comic in the coming months. Not gonna lie im hoping that Catwoman is a skin because 👌 that looks fire imo. it'll be interesting what the theme is for season 6. seeing as it's supposed to conclude agent jonesy's mission.
High chance your hopes won't be in vain. The Fortnite skins shown there are fairly consistent, though Synapse is mirrored, with her left ponytail now being on the right.

The DC skins on the other hand have two styles from what I can see. The topmost pic in your post has a differently dressed Harley (mirrored twintails, striped jacket and gloveless hands), which isn't what we see in the other covers and the preview render:

And in the last 3 covers in your post, Batman is apparently wearing a battle-damaged suit, with his right arm exposed.

As for Manabyte suggesting that current Catwoman (using the Rio model) will simply return...note that Black Widow has two variants: one using the Headhunter model (which oddly enough, hasn't returned for over a year since Endgame) and the recent Snow Suit variant using a unique face model.

Wouldn't be surprised if the new variant Catwoman (with a unique face model) comes as a DLC code in the second or third issue.
 
I really want him, but if I get him I will be down to about a thousand vbucks which the battle pass will eat up.
I'm too late with this reminder since the Marvel skins have rotated out but for the BP, you can always play first until you save up the vbucks again. It's not like way back when you could only clear BP challenges if you owned it.

I was wondering why that Catwoman from season 10 looked so familiar haha now I know. yeah I was basing epic games chapter 2 season 4 history when they revealed the marvel/fortnite comic book covers. usually teasing a unreleased character, judging from the details on the drawn art. I can theorize this Catwoman will have two edit styles. one with and one without the red goggles. I'm also noticing the exposed underarms is somewhat consistent in two of the cover arts. with the exception of the red and black one. I agree they might end up using an entirely unique face model for this version.
 
Some random things while messing around recently:
  1. Came across this on Reddit the other day and tested it with the same back bling as well as Mystique's Skull. Seems that when the T-800 wears an item that reacts to eliminations, his eyes will glow purple for a while upon an elim.

  2. Team Rumble Stacks

  3. I don't know how often one would get to use this: if you shoot out all the tires off a vehicle, it'll drive slower and take constant damage even when driving on roads.​
  4. Prolonged Zero Point exposure makes you rethink your diet

She has quite a lot of skins using her face model, with Synapse (currently in the shop!) being one of them.

I forgot to mention earlier, but note that the only DC characters in the covers so far are Batman, Catwoman and Harley Quinn.

Joker and Poison Ivy are nowhere to be seen, so apart from the obvious implication that those three characters will be featured in the comics, there's a good chance they're a hint of skins to come, besides the confirmed Rebirth HQ or course.

Rio along side jonesy, ramirez are quite the popular fashioned folks 😁. I was examining the batman comic book outfit, and idk but kinda looks like jonesy jawline. yeah seems to be only 3 DC characters confirmed as protagonists or antagonists? though some suspect the cosmetics are gonna be emotes and pickaxes.

I'm fairly certain the Batman skin wasn't using Jonesy or any of the base Fortnite models' faces. Still wasn't great though :/

Headhunter is actually super popular from what I've seen, at least amongst the younger generation. Hell, most of the sweaty female skins are Headhunters.

Ramirez is the OG, so she'll always be represented somehow. Wish she'd look more like the way she does in the STW loading screen though.

I think the preview for the comics was that Batman was brought in to investigate the Zero Point. As to what Catwoman and HQ are doing, I have no idea beyond the huge probability that they're meant to sell the comics and the skins they'll come with, lol.

From what I understand after reading the descriptions for each issue. Catwoman along side Batman and harley quinn's memories are wiped and they forget knowing each other from the DC universe. so when they run into one another I'm assuming it's a very intense confrontation. Selina has had trust issues in the past so running into a guy dressed as a bat on the island doesn't help lol. For harley quinn, that's a mystery but it does say for the last issue she's the key to them getting back home.

Amnesia, the fiction world's number one go-to lol.

I still remember Thor lost his memories upon reaching the island last season.

Yup, poor thor was legit just being friendly. until jonesy and his evil smiling ass just shotguns him out of nowhere. I'm really curious as to how the loop or the island causes amnesia for everyone there. Don't know why but kinda gives me wandavision vibes lol.

And the comic covers keep on rolling. That's definitely gotta be the armored zero batman leakers said you'd get to redeem once all 6 issues is collected.

On topic: kinda tough tracking down a comic book store near me. don't really feel like going to one in another 5 miles but I may have no choice .🤷

I like how even in the comic only one pellet from the shotgun actually hits, probably for measly damage lol.

Regarding the amnesia, I guess they'd just chalk it up to the mysterious energies of the Zero Point suppressing their memories.

Hmm, you might be right but I think it's probably a battle-damaged variant or something. I'm expecting at least one more style.

Oh and Snake Eyes is on two covers and counting. According to this Screenrant article, it's the first time the two will meet in the comics world.

And speaking of crossovers, there was a Spawn/Batman one-shot comic many years ago.

Haha I can imagine some player if it was happening right then and there. "Hit thor for 20 shield!! hit him for 30 white!" and yeah probably, even though they are cranking into high gear with the story. still alot of unanswered questions.

Interesting, could be. we really don't know what he'll come with in game. still alot answers in regards to the downloadable content each issue comes with. other than batman and harley quinn. and nice, it's strange, because marvel comics use to publish G.I. joe comics a long time ago.

If I was that player it'd probably be "Tac is fucking garbage!" hahaha. It definitely felt that way I think around C1S5 or 6. They hadn't standardised the pellet spread so Tac's wide spread + RNG could lead to doing something stupid like 7-8 damage IIRC.

I think for something that's ongoing, it's going to be in their best interests to always leave a lot of stuff unanswered.

I'm just hoping for another great Catwoman skin :D

Well, it seems Mustard is personally rectifying that "strange" issue heh.
 
Tried something out in the Battle Lab, might take it into an actual match for the lolz. Too bad Team Rumble Unvaulted got replaced by Solid Gold and I hadn't thought about it until Office Chariot came out.

Without further ado.

For context, we suck. Can't compete with KBM users in just about every scenario, except for one...

Yea I remember not really using the tac too often. mostly because the Meta was a little different. that's until they tweaked a few things and next thing you know. it's hop scotch time with tactical shotgun. I remember just a bunch of others were jumping and shooting all over the place chaotic lol. Tell me about it, not that the current Catwoman skin is bad by any means or that it's terrible. but like you pointed out a few days ago it's just rio in a cosplay outfit. if that one on the covers of that comic book is anything to go by. might be a solid, if not excellent updated version.

I ended up passing but that's a good point. Anyway, just one more day. Really looking forward to the next map changes, whatever they may be.

So, um...
The season just started and I'm level 100. :lollipop_grinning_sweat:
(WTF is wrong with me?)

The tier 100 skin is amazing, though!
 
Dat DC theme am I right?

I'm salty I allowed myself to get excited for that

Most people did, I don't really see there being a fully themed battle pass or season like marvel for quite some time. it faced alot of backlash despite being one of if not one most of the fortnite players top season. mine included, though not gonna lie that raven skin has me more hyped than the entire battle pass combined.

Questions my fellow Fortnite distant cousins (because you talk about skins too much)...

1) When you tame a wolf do you get the whole pack? Also, do the wolves turn on you after a duration of time?

2) Boom bow. How do you craft it? I need something that mirrors the rocket launcher.

3) What are the 6 Guardian mythics? What abilities do they give you?

Question on the saving the world mode (or whatever it is called). If I buy it on my account will my kids accounts on my PS4 get access to it too?

If I buy it on my ps5, will it work for my PS4?

My recollection is that StW access is more like a season pass in other shooters. As in, the access is only granted to the purchaser. When I bought it they had a pricing option to include extra codes, so I believe my recollection is accurate.

Regarding PS5, I think it should work but wouldn't be an upgraded version as far as I know.

New season is strange. Think I'm going to like it though.

- Late game circles are going to feel so much different with stink and fire arrows everywhere.

- Feels like there's not enough wildlife in the game right now.

- Buff the ****ing wolves you cowards!

- The new shotgun is so freaking OP. I'm expecting a ton of complaints...

I've come down since the day one high.

This season is struggling for one main reason right now.

There's no interesting loot.

The potential is there (though I say this every season) but right now kills net us nothing exciting.

There definitely needs to be more wildlife in Solo, and I hope they eventually add wildlife to Team Rumble. If you have trouble looking for bones to craft with, just break any type of skull-like decorations in the primal villages.

I'm loving the new crafting system, and heavily prefer the Mechanical builds more than the Primal ones. The Mechanical Explosive Bow and the Mechanical Shockwave Bow are my new favorites. :)
