Holly Hatchery

There are rumors and data mines being circulated in the community that hint at the transformation of the Holly Hedges location. Popular Fortnite leaker HYPEX has spoken about this in a tweet as well.

Apparently, Holly Hedges will be ransacked by Alien Parasites who will then use it as a nest for their eggs. Hence the name Holly Hatchery.

Alien Nanite

The early Fortnite patch notes for the 17.10.1 update is incomplete without the mention of Alien Nanites.

This is perhaps one of the most popular leaks going around the community about the upcoming update. Alien Nanites will be a form of building material that can be used to upgrade and transform weapons into their respective alien counterparts. Prominent Fortnite leaker iFireMonkey spoke about this earlier in a tweet.

Cowinator

This last item in the initial Fortnite patch notes for the 17.10.1 update is one of the most probable ones on the list. Rumors and leaks regarding the Cowinator weapon have been circulating in the community for quite a while now.

According to leaks, the Cowinator weapon has the ability to lift and throw objects. However, as the prominent Fortnite leaker HYPEX has pointed out, this weapon will have certain limitations.

In addition to this, players have been noticing some changes in the Mothership's position, which might have something to do with the updates that are about to drop today.
