Fortnite Datamine Suggests Battle Bus Will Soon Be Drivable
Toot toot, beep beep. It looks like a new Fortnite feature will make the Battle Bus drivable as part of Chapter 2 Season 4's endgame. There's been a lot crammed into the Marvel-themed Season 4, which has been a unified success for Epic Games and proved the battle royale brawler is anything but a dead game. We've seen Earth's Mightiest Heroes unite as Galactus has loomed large over the Fortnite map. Now, we think we've found out what Tony Stark has been up to.
The Battle Bus has been a staple feature of the game as your mode of transport before you drop into the action. Aside from thanking the bus driver, there isn't much else to do with the Battle Bus. However, all of that could be about to change with the latest vehicular addition. Galactus is currently hiding under the map, but with rumours he's about to burst up from the ground, adding the Battle Bus to the Avengers' arsenal could be key to toppling the world-devouring villain.
The Battle Bus has been getting a tweak thanks to Tony's tinkering, with many suggesting Iron Man was making it ready for interdimensional travel as part of a bigger Fortnite picture. Even if that isn't the case, dataminer @ShiinaBR thinks the Battle Bus will be drivable for the season's final days. The idea of a drivable Battle Bus is an interesting one that throws up a lot of questions. How will you drive the Battle Bus? Will it just be one person behind the wheel, or will there be multiple Battle Buses zooming around the sky?
It all fits with Epic's tease that something is clearly going on with the Battle Bus. The official Fortnite Twitter wrote, "The Battle Bus is loaded and ready to go. This is our final stand to save all Reality. The Devourer of Worlds arrives 12.1.20 4 PM ET". Leaker @FortTony also showed off the latest update which has added even more Iron Man tech to the battered Battle Bus. We've got to agree, it looks pretty snazzy.
One suggestion is that we could have multiple versions of the Battle Bus as some sort of time travel event that would see it arrive from different eras. Also, the idea of having a drivable Battle Bus could let us visit that mysterious island hovering on the horizon.
Of course, vehicles and Fortnite don't exactly have the best reputation. When August's "Joy Ride" update added cars, there were glitches galore that eventually led to Epic disabling them. Will making the Fortnite Battle Bus drivable round off Season 4 in style, or is it running out of gas? Keep 'em peeled Fortnite fans.
