Fortnite Leak Reveals Key Details Of Season 5 Finals Live Event
A new string of Fortnite leaks have been teasing the big final event for Fortnite Season 5, with Zero Point set to destabilize and destroy the island.
While the fifth season of the popular Fortnite battle royale from Epic Games introduced many exciting crossovers such as Mandalorets , Street Fighter и Predator , there weren't many storyline updates.
The season's loose theme is "bounty hunters" as Agent Jonesy is tasked with recruiting the best hunters from alternate universes to help players avoid escaping the Loop and leaving the Island.
Other than that, there wasn't really any exploration of original Fortnite lore and players were left craving for it. Fortunately, it seems that update v15.50 — the last of this season — brings with it the big final event.
Fortnite Season 5 Final Event Teasers
The live finals are some of the most anticipated moments of every season of Fortnite. We previously saw Marvel supervillain Galactus attempt to destroy the Island, while rapper Travis Scott held a grand game concert.
With Season 5 currently wrapping up on March 15, 2021, Epic Games only has a couple of weeks left to wrap up the season's story logically and live up to players' expectations for the big final event.
Well, the destabilization of the epicenter has already been noticed on the island. Players will notice that Zero Point is now heavily cracked and has strange effects around it. Also, the epicenter makes strange sounds.
But this is only the beginning. Fortnite leakers have found a bunch of hints about what's to come, and it seems like there won't just be one big final event - there will also be several mini-events leading up to the end of Season 5.
As an insider discovered Mang0e , it looks like Zero Point will send four waves of destabilization over the next few weeks. They are called Reality Waves and will cause havoc on the island.
It appears the Zero Point will send out 4 "waves" of destabilization over the course of the following weeks for Season 6 build up. I expect these to act as "mini-events". pic.twitter.com/5o50DZ5fOb

Mang0e also found a code that suggests the waves will be affected by NPCs. In addition to glowing with the color of ground zero, they can also be teleported to strange places when the player interacts with them.
Known elsewhere Fortnite HYPEX leader shared a clip of the distorted audio that will play when the zero point is destabilized - and it definitely sounds like trouble is brewing.
It's possible this chaos has something to do with all the hunters Agent Jonesy brings to the Island.

Another interesting detail that has been revealed is that Zero Point will affect Fortnite voice chat by adding distortion to the player's voice. It's not clear what this will cause, but it can happen when you're near the epicenter.
We'll have to wait and see what these reality waves will do, but from the leaks it looks like as we get closer to the end of Season 5 and start of Fortnite Season 6, many unexpected things will happen.
