Datamined Fortnite info reveals a new LTM and potential Red Knight return

Today’s 4.5 update for Fortnite: Battle Royale added new content to the game, but even more of upcoming releases were found within the game’s files.

On top of a slew of new cosmetics and a new weapon, more datamines have found a new limited time mode and a possible return of a very popular skin.

The upcoming limited time mode was found by @FNBRLeaks on Twitter, and it’s called Fly Explosives. In the new mode, it combines jetpacks with the High Explosives LTM. Basically, players can use jetpacks while raining destruction from above with rockets and grenades. 

In what will surely excite many players, one of the new skins found in the game’s files is for a new pickaxe. In the files, it’s called “Pickaxe-Flintlock-RedKnight.” The Red Knight skin was available for a time period this past winter, but it hasn’t been back on the store since February 20.

Many are speculating that the new pickaxe, which matches the aesthetic of the Red Knight skin, could mean the return of the outfit to the store in a bundle that will finish out the Red Knight set altogether.

This wouldn’t be the first time that Epic Games has retroactively added to a cosmetic set. Just today in update 4.5 the developer added back bling to both the Venturion and Ventura skins, so it’s possible that this pickaxe could mean a full Red Knight set appearing on the store in the coming weeks. Stay tuned for more information as it becomes available.
