Fortnite Christmas Season 5 update: Leaks and speculations

Fortnite has been famous for its great Christmas events, and this year is not going to be any different. With Chapter 2 - Season 5, Bounty Hunters have been introduced on the map, which allows players to upgrade weapons, buy new exotic weapons and even gain gold by completing bounties on enemy players.

Snowmando, an upcoming Christmas themed Fortnite cosmetic was showcased by many prominent leakers on social media. However, HYPEX confirmed that he would also be an NPC in the game, and that he would have unique quotes attached to him.

He might be near the new winter-themed point of interest, waiting for people, so as to give them festive quests to earn gold.

Moreover, HYPEX also talked about an upcoming Christmas Flopper, stating that the players have to eat this flopper to get rewarded.

Frozen Loot and Ice Machine sounds have also made their way into the game, adding more content to the Christmas festival event in Fortnite.

However, the most interesting part of these speculations is coming from Tabor, who stated Wolves might be a part of Fortnite in this Winterfest. Animals haven't been a part of Fortnite, and the closest addition related to that would be the back blings that are available in the game.

It would be interesting to see how these wolves fit into the game. They might assist players in taking down other players by chasing them on the battlefield, but as of now, nothing is certain. Players will have to wait till these leaks make their way into Fortnite to know for sure what their purpose will be.
