Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 3 is currently the hot topic in the community, with new leaks and hints emerging daily — and sometimes Epic Games itself chimes in!

Fallout Power Armors in Fortnite
Recently, Fallout released a teaser on X, formerly Twitter, showing several of the well-known Power Armors. In the recently released Fallout series, these are worn by the Knights of the Brotherhood of Steel.

Presumably, this is a Battle Pass skin, as different styles can be identified. One Power Armor strongly resembles the Black Knight! Whether we can play with a Power Armor as an item in Fortnite in any other way is currently unclear.
New Sandy Biome & Fallout POI
The teaser reveals a new POI. It features a type of factory that reminds us of the old Fallout games.
The factory image is surrounded with a sandstorm that is currently approaching Fortnite's island. According to some leaks, such as the roadmap, a huge part of the map is expected to be covered in sand — just like the wasteland in Fallout!
Old POIs Will Be Replaced
Besides Fencing Fields, which is expected to become "Nitro Drome", Snooty Steppes is also changing. In the latest trailer, the former Peter Griffin location is almost completely buried in sand – similar to the surface in Fallout.

New Fallout Weapons, Items, and Old Favorites
In the teaser released by Fallout, several weapons can be seen. Among them, some new ones that might be related to Fallout:
- Flamethrower
- XXL Harpoon
- Laser Rifle (possibly a Railgun)

Additionally, old, well-known weapons with new attachments are likely to return:
- Minigun
- Ranger Shotgun
- Combat Assault Rifle
The video also shows a bottle. It strongly resembles the Slap Juice, which provided infinite stamina for a short time. However, the bottle in the trailer is slightly darker – so are we possibly seeing a new item?
All this ties in with the apocalypse theme. The season is reportedly called "Wrecked", as was also recently leaked.
If there are more leaks about skins, POIs, weapons, and the Battle Pass between Fortnite and Fallout, we will update you here!
