Finally, Epic is making the changes everyone has been asking for. Epic Games has completely removed vehicles and support NPCs from all ranked modes. The game still includes bosses, medallions, and mythic weapons on the island, but from a competitive standpoint, it is balanced again. This season frustrates many players, but the chaos of season “Wrecked” is slowly but surely wearing off.
The new update finally opens the bunker and, most importantly, adds brand new NPC bosses to the island along with their new mythics.
The Bunker Opening
The bunker has been locked since the beginning of the season. The long wait is over, and it is now open. The bunker at the top of Grand Glacia has finally opened. There are secrets to explore, including a place called Weapon X inside the bunker. The bunker contains clues about who has escaped. Claw marks on the walls indicate that Wolverine has escaped. There are two test tubes in the middle, showing that tests have been run on people. The new Wolverine skin, a mutated version due to experiments, is also revealed.Peely was also one of the test subjects. During Chapter 2, Season 4, a version of Peely with claws appeared. It turns out Peely was one of the test subjects all that time ago and has now escaped. Magneto has arrived on the island and set them free from the Weapon X lab bunker.
Magneto’s Arrival and Mythic Powers
Magneto, a new NPC on the island, is selling a brand new mythic. This mythic is his Magneto power for 400 gold. Testing this new mythic reveals it can block and fire, dealing 995 damage and providing low gravity.
Additional Fortnite Mythic Bosses
Fortnite has added other mythic bosses to the game. Each season in Chapter 5 has featured huge collaborations, bringing new mythic NPC bosses. Season 1 saw Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, while Season 2 featured a collaboration with Avatar, introducing new mythic abilities.
Pirates of the Caribbean Collaboration
In Season 3, a new collaboration with Pirates of the Caribbean is underway. Pirate ships have appeared on the island, and a new battle pass is on the way. The update has accidentally leaked the new NPC locations and their mythic abilities.
