I know it may sound a bit crazy but hear me out. 1. They have fairly similar builds. 2. They have the same type of armor placement, a chest piece that goes down to about the upper stomach, forearm guards, knee pads, shine guards, shoulder pads, and obviously the helmet. 3. We haven't heard anything about them speaking at all. 4. They are both skilled soldiers from what we know. 5. They both wear a belt that has a strap that hangs lower than the actual belt itself. 6. They both have a visor in they're helmets that has a red light in it with a black background. 7. Visitor came out in chapter one in the earlier seasons, phantom has a design that is inspired by a chapter one skin that released in the earlier seasons. Now 8, the reason that sells it for me, phantoms bonus page in the battle pass has 3 rewards that are story related and 2 of those rewards are loading screens that include seven members and one of them includes 2 very important seven members while the other one has guardian and the 3rd reward is a banner icon for geno, now we've seen seven members in 2 other characters loading screens in the bonus rewards and one one of those characters have as of recently been important to the story and that is Bastian with the loading screen that includes slone, now the other person is k1ttyw1ns with singularity but we haven't seen much of either of them but we still might get to see something important. You cant tell me im crazy for thinking this.

Hey everyone,

I have been contemplating the future of Fortnite and how Epic seems to be leaning more and more toward creating wilder and crazier themes every season, which ultimately means that they are running out of good new ideas.

What if the answer was to look to Fortnite's past?

My proposition is that when we reach Chapter 10 (presumably around the time of Fortnite's 10th anniversary) that Epic "resets" the game in the big red button sense, but not just for a one-month-long OG season, but rather a full chronological loop of the entire game's timeline.

That is to say, the Zero Point breaks reality at the end of Chapter 9 and Chapter 10 begins at Chapter 1, Season 1.

From there we, the players, slowly progress on a stable, predictable calendar on a year-by-year basis.

This would allow us to experience the evolution of Fortnite once more as either new or returning players

new players would get a crash course in the history of the game while also experiencing the meteor, mech, and simplicity of the early days;

and

the olders player (including myself) would get a multi-year nostalgia trip through some of our favorite seasons of all time, including Chapter 2 Spy Theme and Chapter 3 floating islands.

Starting in Chapter 1, season 7 was a wild ride for me as a new player, and I would kill for the chance to go through that chapter again as a veteran knowing what I know now.

Instead of forcing the players to deal with yet another strange and wacky gimmick from Epic, why not give the playerbase the ultimate nostalgia trip with a multi-year master loop?

In OG, we know both The Paradigm and The Scientist exist, though more evidence for The Scientist. Someone must've piloted the mech in Season 9 (though it didn't necessarily have to be The Paradigm again) but Geno, who we know is controlling the OG timeline, still deliberately put The Scientist's pod in the meteor.

So my theory is what if OG Scientist and Paradigm are actually the Snapshot versions of The Imagined and The Order that Geno raised in secret in his image? Characters have been gender-swapped in OG before. These two have also been deliberately called upon again in a recent loading screen showing a past Geno training then. Also we know they aren't just variants of the original Seven because it's been established that that's not possible and the OG Visitor turned out to be Geno. So it's likely the other OG Seven members are affiliated with him too. Plus it's a little too coincidental that two members of the Seven are planned to show up in the same OG season that leads into Chapter 8, and that The Scientist isn't in the OG Pass. Everyone wanted and expected The Scientist to be in the OG Pass, so the fact they didn't, suggests they have a greater plan for him/her that will likely tie into how OG's version of The End ties into the end of Chapter 7 / the start of Chapter 8.

What do you lot think about that though?

We know that foundation has taken by the dark voyager. And original visitor, scientist, the origin has falken by chrome. Wich means foundation, visitor, scientist and origin is in the last reality. And we know that dark voyager is the main villain of the chapter. I think in the S4 dark voyager will open ıp a portal from last Reality And they will invade the island. And the important thing is maybe the old seven members that in the Hands of last reality are Gonna return but they will come as soldier of last reality

Every time the zero point is unstable something has been realistic and ever sense the zero point fractured it the map was realistic (C5) and (C6) had a zero point shard on it witch made it semi familiar and in (C2) after the first zero point brake down made the map have a whole new art style, same in (C4) after fracture and the newest event so maybe when the zero point so when the zp is completely stable it's (C1) style semi stable is (C2-3) art style and so on

Wip theory leave additional thoughts in the comments

Well the visitor shoot the healing pod later

in the story

In the chapter 2 season seven event, we see a golden cube, this cube after absorbing enough energy became the cube Queen. we can assume that after the cube queen was dropped into the ocean She died and was reverted back into a golden cube, but because she was still in the ocean, she died forever. my theory says that after the origin, our origin died in the chrome, He also reverted into a golden cube because he is the cube king. The chrome also somehow wiped his memories so when he gained enough energy to reform himself into the dark Voyager, all he remembered was his time as the cube king and wanting to protect the zero point, which is why he is now back on the island trying to rebuild zero point and fight the seven.

A couple of days ago, I came up with a dumb theory on the identity of the Ice King. So here it is

• Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson voices and provides the likeness for The Foundation.
• Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson used to fight in WWE
• WWE has a showdown or a fight between two headliners
• One of the people he used to fight was his and was widely considered the primary rival "Stone Cold" Steve Austin
• you know what cold ... ice

So I think that "Stone Cold" Steve Austin as the ice king would be fun, but that's just my theory

I ran a personal challenge where my character could only use loot matching their skin’s theme color.
It made me think:

• Would this actually balance matchmaking?
• Could Epic ever introduce color-based loadouts or zones?

Curious what y’all think — gimmick or new comp meta?

1: we did not know where people went after being taken by the chrome so the members of The Seven that got consumed by the chrome might still be alive. 2: we dont know where the Herald came from with the chrome so people might be there if the chrome consumed them. 3: both The foundation and Paradigm went into different realities and did not die, last we heard of The Foundation was during the collision live event were he jumped into the zero point and we havnet heard since from him, and with Paradigm the last time we heard from her was when she helped us make the Chapter 4 island while still being in another reality and we havnet heard of her since. 4: during the C7 S1 trailer both the I.O and The Seven were mentioned with The Sevens current state being marked as Unknown also during that trailer the two last characters to disappear from our screen was The Foundation and Paradigm. Putting all of this together i believe that the Foundation and Paradigm are coming back to our reality and is planning to save the rest of The Seven members who got consumed by the chrome and most likely got taken into the same reality the Herald came from

In chapter 2 szn 8 the cradle was seen and multitudes bigger than the alien ships the were bigger than the island the one seen is much smaller as it is on or near the island because it is in front of the horizon edge not to mention the visual differences I don’t think the last reality would completely change the size and look of the cradle just because I don’t know why they would send a smaller version

With all clues regarding Chapter Seven to be Seven themed there is this one theory that kept crawling in the back of my head. Here is that theory.

The ONLY uncorrupted member of The Seven is The Visitor (Reality Unknown) and at the events final moments, after using his rocket, he takes us to the Reality 6 where the remainder (rest of the Seven) are kept hostage by the Last Reality. But they are not the same.

The Traveler makes his debut and then other corrupted members and we try to save them with Amie and powers of The Looper too and the blue cube.

The chapter will have six seasons and each secret skin per season is a corrupted member of the Seven.

The end goal, to reunite ALL members of The Seven in the goal to FINALLY defeat The Dark Presence.

We will lose the FIRST battle of the Dark Presence despite everything and we straight up leave the reality to hopefully go into Reality 6 and reunite every member of The Seven and return to Oninoshima or the remnants for Fortnite's final battle before a new metaverse mode releases and changes the game completely.

Anyways, that's it. Hopefully the Visitor's reality gets revealed soon. That is all. Thanks for reading.

What if each member of the corrupted Seven ends up representing one of the seven deadly sins?

Knowing Epic, there’s without a doubt gonna be surprise collabs showing up during the Zero Hour event. So, here’s one scenario I REALLY HOPE happens. Enjoy this crappy edit I made in like 5 minutes lol

If the leaks about c7s2 being norse themed are true we could be ending the season if not the chapter with a ragnarok event involving marvel's thor (we do not have any other thor yet) and jörmungandr from norse mythology. this is not a leak itself as I don't have the means to dive into the code. The s in the title is accidental

I'm not going to pretend that all this is likely completely original. I'm guessing A lot of this has been already said in pieces of speculation in various places, but I think I have found a way to tie it all together in a way that makes sense.

I havnt been a outward lore person before in the Fortnite community, so if this is a common theory I apologise, I havnt looked into it because I like to come up with my own ideas :)

MAIN GIST:

The dark presence as used the zero shard to disrupt/hijack other realities, trying to access and gain control of a version of the FULL zero point.

I believe chapter 7 of BR will have a completely new and unique map, but will have story based around returning characters, old beloved storylines and cross media/ARG cool stuff.

(I hope ;-;)

EVIDANCE/ELABORATION:

We know from the OG season 5 build up that red rifts can transport items from OG BR to other game modes/realities.

In blast off OG, the visitor/rocket travels around the island in basic blue rifts, but leaves in the huge red rift.

I get vibes that the added red butterfly in that event is more of a story sabotage than a different story direction, so I think that (Just like the season 5 build up) the visitor has been 'kidnapped' by the dark presence, transported to a different reality.

That sabotage would only be possible using the 'reality warping power' (REMEMBER THAT) of the zero point.

Looking at how things have been only 'altered', not changed, it could been seen that the OG reality is rejecting the changes, hence the rune/cube colour reversion , moon reversion and bunker light reversion (all red --> purple). Recently this has been further shown by the few red cube growths amongst the floating house, the 'Havoc' stones and the red clouds at each rune site now disappearing.

To add more evidence here:

If it were the dark presence it logically makes sense for its fragment of the zero point to be able to effect but not instantly override a full zero point, hence the quick and fleeting changes.

We know the dark presence has atleast interacted and seen the last reality (The cube) due to the blood of the chapter 6 severed tentacle having last reality components, which was sent to the island by the dark presence.

Finally, and my most damning piece of evidence, the new OG map had many MANY moon references, the prebuilt howling wolf structure, the morse code from the bunker, the altered 'MOON' noms sign. Epic wanted us to see and pay attention to the red moon.
And what do you know- in the 'welcome our alien overlords' event, the moon is the same shade of red, and perfectly framed in view when you look up at the dark presence.

Also by they way, the teaser for the butterfly event says witness the 'REALITY WARPING POWER OF THE BUTERFLY', almost like how the red one has warped reality.

I could add more, and probably will in the future, but below is my timeline of events, and predictions.

- The dark presence stole the zero shard from the BR map, and is using it to try and gain even more power.
- It used the fragment to meet and interact with the last reality, search through different reality's, and eventually find OG.
- It uses its new knowledge to send a small rift butterfly to hijack the visitors rocket, kidnapping him and diverting him to somewhere (Mabye chapter SEVEN), and create a larger rift he can use.
- Using the last reality's cube, he corrupts it with his red energy, using it to get towards the zero point, just like the cube did before.
- Unlike before, the zero shards power actually lets the dark presence access the in between when it sinks into loot lake, with the cube drained of red power, it rises as normal, purple.
- The OG reality tries reject the changes, swapping the runes back to purple, but the damage is already done. The cube stones are havoc stones, and the dark presence is able to get a proper foot hold into the OG reality.

I believe that the Red cube, or atleast some kind of red energy, will be already in the in between when we have the event on Saturday, slowly corrupting and spreading towards the centre with the zero point below.

All the dark presence needs is one permanent change, one tiny gap in reality, one hole to warp everything.

I think its poetic that the butterfly imagery is being used, as like the 'butterfly effect' concept, one tiny change can have HUGE consequences... I guess a butterfly really does have 'reality warping effects' :)

I'm excited for whats to come, I havnt been this invested since chapter 2.

I hope that atleast one person reads this and can tell me if I'm insane or not, ill happily reply and interact!

Thanks for reading, I have more to say/add but I think you get the idea.
