Fortnite’s Locker Room is Gonna Need Renovations
Fortnite is finally making it’s way to Android devices later this week, and with it comes Battle Royale patch 5.2. A couple of popular Fortnite leakers have gotten their hands on the APK for the upcoming release, and uncovered a plethora of new and unexpected cosmetics coming to the game.

Firstly, FNBRLeaks found files indicating that Battle Bus customizations will be making their way to Fortnite, along with hats, vehicle decorations, consumable emotes that allow for players to customize the way they consume items, victory poses that happen automatically after winning a match, Map markers will also receive some form of customization, likely allowing players to choose their color, and something referred to as “Calling Cards” is coming to the game as well.
Along with that, FNBRLeaks found that those who pre-order the Samsung Galaxy Note 9, which Fortnite for Android launches exclusively on first later this week, will receive 15,000 V-bucks, and another file that indicating that the enormous rift from last season will begin shrinking starting on August 21st.
On top of all that, XDA junior member thesbros dug through the 5.2 patch and found a ton of new cosmetics and modes coming to Fortnite, though it’s unknown if all of them (particularly the game modes) will drop with the new patch later this week.

The Heavy Sniper is already in the Save the World portion of Fortnite but due to it being able to pierce walls, it may cause some balancing issues in the enormously popular PvP portion.
Unfortunately, XDA and FNBRLeaks were unable to gather images of the new cosmetics due to the new asset compression method being used for Fortnite on Android, though XDA says that “more experienced data-miners” may be able to gather them when the update goes live.
In the meantime, Fortnite’s One Year Anniversary event ends tomorrow afternoon (so get those birthday cosmetics if you haven’t yet!), and the recent 5.1 update brought back the controversial guided missiles. Additionally, since our reporting on it last week, Epic has confirmed that Fortnite for Android will bypass the Google Play Store and be available exclusively through Epic’s website.
Fortnite is currently available for PC, PS4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and iOS. Let us know what you think in the comments and stay tuned to COGconnected for all the latest gaming news!
