A Speculation Roundup on Fortnite Chapter 2 Season 2

Epic Games Fortnite has been stuck in the first season of its second chapter. Fortunately, it's almost time for the update. Aside from new Fortnite skins on the Fortnite items shop, what else can we expect? Here are some ideas and refreshers from all the teasers released for the launch of the newest season of Fortnite Battle Royale.

Bring the Bling

Gold has been a recurring theme for all the leaks. Random gold objects are appearing on the island in the center of the map. Then there's the leaked Fortnite skin called 'Oro' who is a skeleton made of gold. Even the leaked images have golden objects on a black background.

The random letters appearing on the various leaks are further strengthening this theory. Taking one of each letter spells out 'MIDAS' which can refer to the mythical king with the golden touch. Maybe it's him who's turning all these objects to gold? We’ll have to wait and see. Another interpretation of MIDAS can be 'Missile Defense Alarm System'. Both are possible connections.

At any rate, we can expect lots of gold in the next season. It's unknown what role it will play, but it's going to be significant.

Agent Meowsclesrepurrting for Duty

First seen in a Fortnite Season 7 loading screen, he comes back as a spectrograph image of the audio file 'AgentMeowscles'. There's also that time he was found in the source code by data miners. Then as the leaks and teasers for C2S2 build up, he appears again.

His image is accompanied by several flexing emojis and random phrases in various languages. A majority of those phrases translate into 'nine lives', though some of them say 'seven lives' instead. What happened to those two lives? We might find out upon launch.

Connecting Constellations

Some of the leaked images have these constellation-like images on the background. One user has connected them across the teaser images (the rocket, yarn ball, and Agent Meowscles ones). Another has matched one of the constellations to the coordinates from those real-world call teasers. However, it seems people aren't really focusing on them.

Examining Explosives

Many of the teasers have objects that explode. Among the objects shown are dynamite, a propane tank, a rocket, and this yarn ball with 'rat grenades' tangled in it. They bring to mind all the rockets and explosions that changed Chapter 1's map. Whatever this means, we can expect an explosive launch for Season 2.

…And More!

What could the word 'agent' mean for the lore of the game? Is Agent Meowscles an important lead, or just 'cat-fishing' us? Will we see the return of Fortnite items such as dynamite? Are the 'film heroes and villains' from Season 4 real? What is the connection between Chaos Agent and the oil rig? Are we all just overthinking this?

We'll figure everything out once the update drops. Fortnite Chapter 2 Season 2's Fortnite release date is a few hours away, so you don't have to wait for too long. Chapter 2 Season 1 may have dragged a bit, but now we can finally move on.

Enjoy the Fortnite game!
