Renegade Runner

What is the lore behind Renegade Runner in Fortnite?

Renegade Runner is one of the many variants (snapshots) of the OG Renegade Raider. She shares her lineage with others such as Blaze, Renegade Lynx, FNCS Renegade, and Permafrost Raider. Owing to the character's legacy, Renegade Runner is perhaps one of the most well-known in-game. As mentioned, while she may be a different version of the character, she is still connected in a way.

That said, Renegade Runner is rather unique when compared to other variants (snapshot). Since she was released during MEGA Season of Chapter 4, she is heavily augmented and modified. This suggests that she is from a reality in which augmentation and modification of body parts is a common occurrence. Her official description reads, "Rebuilt and ready to compete."

In terms of back or backstory, based on what is written in her description, she may have been on the brink of death when she was rebuilt from the ground up. This would explain why she looks like a cyborg. If such is the case, she may have escaped to the current reality rather than simply appearing in it. However, since Epic Games has not confirmed any of this, it's all based on speculation and observation.
