Fortnite Player Finds Sand, Possible Leak of Season 5 Desert Map?
By Nicholas Barth ·
One member of the Fortnite community has found a sand texture on the map of the title pointing to what may have been a possible leak of a new desert map or point of interest for Season 5 of Fortnite.
According to a report from Fortnite Insider, a member of the Fortnite community was able to discover a select few areas covered in sand on the map of Epic Games' popular battle royale title.
With no official announcement from Epic Games regarding the addition of sand onto the map of Fortnite, it is possible that the sand was accidentally leaked onto the map in the same manner as the rocket thruster that was found in Anarchy Acres before the launch of the rocket.
The sand areas that were discovered on the map of Fortnite are no longer there and were likely removed by Epic Games when they were made aware of the texture making its self known to the community. This was the course of action that Epic Games took when they made aware that Anarchy Acres had been updated before the launch of the rocket.
With the crack in the sky and mysterious rifts leading to speculation from the community that Season 5 of Fortnite could consist of historical time periods and items leaking into the map from the rifts, the discovery of sand in the title possibly points to an area such as ancient Egypt being added into Fortnite. There have also been rumors circulating that Fortnite may be getting a brand new desert map with the beginning of Season 5.
However, until there is some form of official confirmation regarding the addition of sand into into the game by Epic Games, any theories focused on what this mysterious sand may have in store for the massive playerbase of Epic Games' popular battle royale game should be taken with a grain of salt.
This is not the first location filled with sand that has caused confusion in the community, as a real life Durrr Burger sign was found in a desert located on a California filming location after it had been destroyed by a rift in-game. Adding more mystery to what the real life Durrr Burger sign may have in store, an agent can now be found at the location of the sign is handing out business cards with a phone number to visitors.
Whatever the highly anticipated Season 5 of Fortnite is prepared to bring to the popular battle royale title, it is looking as though sand will be playing a major role in the upcoming action.
