Fortnite A.I.M. Hunting Party Skin Hinting at Future Winter Map?

Week 7 of Season 6 for the massively popular battle royale title of Fortnite brought players who had completed all of the challenges for seven weeks of the current season the new A.I.M. Hunting Party skin. The character is a robot that many Fortnite players believe to be Epic Games having some fun saying the Season 6 Hunting Party skin was an aimbot due to its name of A.I.M. However, besides allowing players to chase victory royals as a literally aimbot, the A.I.M Hunting Party skin could also possibly be hinting at Fortnite Battle Royale getting a future update where the map is winter themed and covered in snow. 

Players who have added the A.I.M. Hunting Party skin to their Fortnite cosmetic collections have begun to notice that the lower portion of the skin's arms and legs are covered in frost indicating that the A.I.M. Hunting Party skin was previously at a location where it was very cold before making its appearance in Season 6. 

Fortnite Battle Royale has never seen its map have any winter elements, but the player versus environment version of the title in Save The World received a snow map during the Winter of 2017. With the battle royale version of the title not being anywhere close to popular as it is now back during this time, it would have not have made sense for Epic Games to update it with a snow and winter map.

Now that Fortnite Battle Royale is one of the most popular games in the world, Epic Games could possibly be looking to update the map with a winter theme in the next couple of months in order to take advantage of the holiday season with the A.I.M. Hunting Party skin possibly being the first hint the developer has given the community. 

Unfortunately for the Fortnite community, players will have to wait until Epic Games officially announces a winter themed update to the map or provides more evidence supporting this theory before they can confirm they will be able to collect Victory Royales while battling through the snow.
