The Predator / Predator comes to Fortnite Battle Royale. Although he has not yet made an appearance, many of his objects have arrived in the game. We tell you.
Patch 15.20 arrived at Fortnite Battle Royale on Wednesday, January 13, 2021. With it, it brought numerous changes and new features to the Epic Games title. Several of the new items added with this content update reference the Predator / Predator, the infamous alien that first appeared in the movie of the same name. We tell you everything we know about this still hypothetical new skin of Season 5 of the Battle Pass of Fortnite Chapter 2:
Fortnite: the Predator receives items in Fortnite; there is still no trace of his skin
As we have commented in the introductory paragraph of the news, with the arrival of patch 15.20 to Fortnite Battle Royale, new objects were added to the game that refer to the Predator. Specifically, an icon, a graffiti and an emoji:
Among the 15.20 patch files there are Predator / Predator items, although their skin is not there; it’s probably the secret skin of Season 5. # Fortnite # FortniteSeason5 pic.twitter.com/HV1XM3w0O7

In addition to this, a Predator spaceship has also appeared on the map. This item is called “NightmareShip” in the game files, and it belongs to the Predator because its codename within the files is “Nightmare”. The Predator’s spaceship is located in the Rogue Feud, one of the new areas added to the map in Season 5:

The Predator would be a hostile character, since, among the game files, audios have also been found that refer to their different states: alert, and combat.

On the other hand, the fact that the three objects that we mentioned above (the icon, the graffiti and the emoji) are the first three Mysterious Rewards, makes us incline to think that the Predator will be the secret skin of Season 5:

For now there is no trace of the Predator skin in Fortnite, so we do not know what its specific appearance is at the time we write this news. You would expect it to be added to Fortnite with the 15.30 patch, which would be released around Week 9-10. As the season is about to end, it is expected that both the secret skin and its conditions to be unlocked will be revealed.
