Minigun Return & more unvaults

For several weeks, it has been speculated that Minigun will be unvaulted in Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 3. When the official season gameplay trailer was released, players saw the minigun, but it was not yet available in the game.

With the next 30.40 update, the minigun will be unvaulted this week, providing players with another weapon to combat the island’s OP Nitro cars.

Chapter 5 Season 4 live event

According to the leaked roadmap, users believe the forthcoming Fortnite season will be Marvel-themed, and other leaks support this theory. With the revelation of RDJ’s return to Marvel as Dr. Doom, the big bad evil himself might play an important part in the upcoming Fortnite season.

With the Stark Beacons also surfacing on the Chapter 5 Season 3 island, players are hopeful that their favorite heroes will return after four years and that they will finally be able to enjoy some Marvel-themed action again.

However, now a Pandora’s Box live event has been teased to occur on August 10 at 2 P.M. ET which will transition players into the new season.
