Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 2: News & Leaks
You know Fortnite's dataminers. They're constantly digging and digging into the codes, pulling out one leak after another. And we're here for you to collect them.
Live Event for Season End
Yes, there will also be a small live event at this season's end, but perhaps less spectacular than you might think.
Throughout the week, a giant, glowing hand will burst from the ground, connected by chains to "Pandora's Box." The community must work together to break the chains so that the box crashes onto the ground and opens.

Greek Themed Season
According to HYPEX, a famous leaker, Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 2 might be Greek Mythology themed because of some hints he founds.
- Current art style/theme of the map
- The next season is codenamed "Aiga" (αίγα), which means "goat" in Greek
- Many skins on the theme of Greek mythology in the current survey
- A new boss for Ch5S2 that spawns from lightning (Zeus?)
- First map and keyart leaks

First Person Mode
According to a tweet from our favorite Fortnite leaker HYPEX, who has always been a reliable source of Fortnite leaks and news in the past, Epic Games has started developing a first-person camera mode.
In the meantime, more files have been found that clearly point to a first-person view. Whether this will then only be available in special modes or in zero builds is not yet known.
Flying Mounts
A slightly older Twitter post from HYPEX also states that Epic is working on “rideable, flying animals” for Fortnite. Apparently, players will be able to boost the animal for more speed and fly on “idle”. Idling would likely mean the mount could hover in the air to allow players to shoot more accurately or throw items. Earlier, an item that looked like a saddle in Fortnite was leaked. Presumably, this item could be related to the flying mounts.
However, we assume that the flying mounts will only come into the game in a later season.
New Sports Mode
According to HYPEX, Fortnite could introduce a new sports mode, expanding its gameplay into basketball and soccer. He writes:

Reminder that 3 years ago, Fortnite were working on Basketball "mini games" where you can play, watch NBA games, and more.. And they probably teased it with Football (Soccer) too during the event, so this might be the next big thing that they add pic.twitter.com/diwSrNiKMP
Chapter 5 Season 2 Map Changes & New POIs
With Chapter 5 Season 2, the Fortnite map might change a bit and chances are we'll discover some new places. As yet, nothing has been confirmed.
However, some leakers suspect that a new location called Olympus, in keeping with the Greek theme, could be added to the map.

Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 2 Battle Pass: New Weapons & Items
What would a new season be without new weapons and items? So far, there has never been a season, and especially not a new chapter, in which not a single new weapon has been added. Also, as always, a few old favorites will return to the game.
The first weapon has already been leaked and says that the tactical shotgun and the DMR will be back in the game.
And that's it for now with the leaks.
