Fortnite leaks suggest Captain America coming as surprise Season 3 skin Epic Games \/ Marvel StudiosFortnite has had Deadpool and Aquaman arrive in Chapter 2 so far \u2014 now it looks like Marvel\u2019s Captain America will be the next comic book hero to debut in Epic\u2019s battle royale, according to new leaks found after the recent v13.20 update. The star-spangled superhero\u2019s Season 3 debut seems to have been confirmed after Fortnite data miners FortTory and VastBlastt uncovered Captain America\u2019s shield in the v13.20 files. Another asset file, marked \u201cM_UI_Marvel_Series_Store,\u201d was also found. According to VastBlastt, Cap\u2019s iconic vibranium shield will have two uses in-game. The shield is expected to operate as both a backbling cosmetic piece, and as a pickaxe. FortTory added that it \u201ccan be used as a backbling and as a pickaxe.\u201d Seems like there will be an upcoming Captain America Shield backbling\/pickaxe based on the following strings: -“”CAPTAIN AMERICA’S SHIELD”” -“”Captain America’s shield is as indestructible as his will.”” -“”Equip Cap’s Shield as a BACK BLING or PICKAXE!””\u2014 VastBlast (@VastBlast) June 30, 2020 Cap’s shield can be used as a Backbling and as a Pickaxe https:\/\/t.co\/TuxKti3HCY \u2014 FortTory \u2013 Fortnite leaks & news (@FortTory) June 30, 2020 Captain America skin to be released on July 4th Cap\u2019s shield won\u2019t be arriving in Fortnite alone, however \u2014 the man himself is also reportedly set to debut in the battle royale as the July 4th surprise skin, according to HYPEX and FNBRHQ. There had been question marks around the mystery celebration skin up to this point. This lines up with a teaser Epic Games added to their unofficial patch notes. The developers revealed in the exclusive email blast that \u201ca mighty arrival is coming to the Item Shop this week\u201d. They also added that Fortnite players should \u201cstay tuned.\u201d https:\/\/twitter.com\/FNBRHQ\/status\/1277855329951285248 Which Captain America will debut in Fortnite Season 3? The shield and assets do confirm Captain America will be arriving in Fortnite, but considering Steve Rogers (played by Chris Evans from 2011 until 2019) handed the \u2018Cap\u2019 mantle to Sam Wilson during Endgame (2019), it could be either character. The skin variant being based on Wilson (played by Anthony Mackie) would make a lot of sense; the character is set to make his debut as Captain America in the new Disney+ series \u201cThe Falcon and the Winter Soldier,\u201d due to be released in August. Captain America joins growing Fortnite Marvel Series skin line Captain America arriving in Fortnite as a Season 3 cosmetic would be far from the first time a Marvel character skin has been released in Epic\u2019s battle royale. In fact, the Marvel Series already boasts eight different hero outfits. The First Avenger would be only the third superhero from the mainline Marvel Cinematic Universe series to get a Fortnite skin. Black Widow and Star-Lord were available during the Fortnite X Avengers: Endgame event. Black Widow\u2019s variant was re-released recently to coincide with her titular movie\u2019s promotional run. Cap\u2019s shield has appeared in Fortnite before, during the aforementioned movie crossover event in 2019. It was available during the Avengers Endgame LTM as one of the mode\u2019s mythic weapons. The super-rare weapon could block bullets. Fortnite\u2019s bumper v13.20 patch also added the highly-anticipated Flare Gun, and dropped water levels slightly. Read all the details and changes here. If cosmetics are more your thing, there was also a bunch of those added to the code after the v13.20 update. \u2018Dad Bod Jonesy\u2019 headlined the new skin variants, and an Anti-Christ style Darkheart cosmetic skin was also added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
