Amidst recent leaks suggesting that dinosaurs are on their way to the battle royale, Twitter is aflutter with excitement.

With traces of raptor-based hints found all throughout the already available areas of the map, dataminers turned to the game's code for more verification.

With Fortnite Season 6 comes an all new Primal theme. This includes the incorporation of hunting and taming of animals into the battle royale gameplay.

Should dinosaurs enter the game, as they are nearly confirmed to be, this could mean that loopers can expect to ride a raptor enroute to claiming their #1 Victory Royale.

If Fortnite Season 6 players are given the opportunity to hunt dinosaurs, or more specifically raptors, it is possible that valuable loot could be dropped by these animals. Along with the possibility of better loot drops, better materials could be given to players for crafting and weapons upgrades.

There is no doubt though, that these beasts will prove to be a difficult fight to win. Historically, raptors are known to be pack hunters, and the eggs that are currently visible to players on the map, are grouped in threes.

Should the nearly-confirmed rumors become a stone-cold fact in the battle royale gameplay, loopers should expect a thrilling challenge.

With the release of new gameplay features, new points of interest, and mystical skins, Fortnite Season 6 could be shaping up to be the best season yet. Raptors making an official in-game appearance would surely take the game to the next level.
