Among the Fortnite files has been found nothing more and nothing less than Master Chief, the Master Chief of the Halo saga, from Microsoft and Xbox.
With the arrival of the Kratos skin to the Fortnite Battle Royale store on December 4 at 01:00 a.m., it was also confirmed that Master Chief, the Master Chief of the Halo saga from Microsoft and Xbox, will be a skin from the Epic Games game . We tell you everything we know about the Master Chief skin from Season 5 of the Battle Pass of Fortnite Chapter 2:
Fortnite: Leaked Master Chief skin; the master chief is coming soon
Throughout December 3, a series of rumors about the hypothetical arrival of the Halo Master Chief to Fortnite in the form of a skin began to jump in the game’s datamining community. Dataminer Mang0e_ echoed a post on 4chan stating that Master Chief would be a Fortnite skin:
I’ve tracked the source of this original image to 4Chan.
Guy who anonymously posted it claims he has a friend who works at epic who was right about Salty Towers and Mandalorian Mythics.

In theory, the following Halo objects would arrive in Fortnite, as echoed by the HYPEX dataminer in another tweet:

- Little Warthog Gesture
- Gravity Hammer Harvesting Tool
Up to this point, we took this with a grain of salt and treated it as hearsay and not worth publishing given the unreliability of the original source, the 4chan forum. However, as we discussed in the introductory paragraph of this news, with the arrival of Kratos to Fortnite something interesting happened, since Master Chief was found among his files; When a new skin arrives in the daily store, which is updated at 01:00 a.m. every day, a .pak file already included in advance in all versions of the game is usually decrypted so that this content is public for the players and therefore can access it.
In Spanish: within the .pak file belonging to the Kratos skin we find an official render of the Master Chief skin in Fortnite:

In the official art of John-117 we can see the character inside his mythical SPARTAN-II armor but with a SCAR, a Fortnite assault rifle. From this point, and as we have been able to confirm ourselves, we understand that it is something official and not a mere rumor or invention of an internet forum. We don’t know anything else about it except that, indeed, there is at least one official Halo Master Chief file within Fortnite.
When we know more about this topic, such as the release date of the Master Chief skin in Fortnite, we will inform you about it as strictly as possible.
