🧪 What’s Coming in Season 4? (Codename: “Jethro”)
Leakers iFireMonkey, Loolo_WRLD, and Wensoing have shared details tied to the internal codename “Jethro”, which hints at:
-
👽 Three new in-game bosses
-
🧍♂️ Five new NPCs to interact with or fight
-
📺 Possible new plugins like Jethro TV and Jethro Loot
While the full theme remains under wraps, Season 4 is expected to pivot away from Star Wars and introduce original Fortnite lore and mechanics.
🌀 Leaked Feature: Enhanced Reboot Vans
A standout new feature could be Enhanced Resurrection, where players rebooted via Reboot Vans come back stronger:
Possible loot from enhanced reboots:
-
🌀 Rare Holo Twister AR
-
🛡️ Big Shield Potions
-
🧱 Extra building materials
💡 If implemented, this would encourage more aggressive team play and make comebacks far more rewarding — especially in competitive modes.
🔫 End of the Melee Meta?
Recent seasons have heavily favored melee weapons, with tools like:
-
⚔️ Typhoon Blade
-
❄️ Sub-Zero’s Combat Kit
-
💡 Lightsabers
However, player feedback and pro opinions suggest a desire to return to ranged combat dominance. Season 4 could rebalance the loot pool to favor ARs, shotguns, and snipers once again.
