Such choppers on the map had first appeared in Chapter 1. Back then, they led to a long-lasting war between Singularity and Devourer.
Another interesting Easter Egg that arrived with the 16.50 patch can be found in the Sherrif’s office near Leaky Lake. Apparently, the NPC DeadFire has been captivating gnomes for the past few weeks. He now has many gnomes in a prison, but their purpose remains unknown at the moment.
TV screens and telescopes around the map tease Chapter 2 Season 7’s story
As aforementioned, many believe that Chapter 2 Season 7 of Fortnite will include aliens, UFOs, and sci-fi elements. Certain map changes that have arrived with the 16.50 update strongly support this theory.
In the middle of Chapter 2 Season 6, we saw many POIs getting surrounded by barriers. It seemed like the primal forest was expanding, and players believed these POIs will turn corrupt too. However, this didn’t happen and the barriers have disappeared abruptly.
Instead, POIs such as Sweaty Sands now have posters that show Aliens and humans holding hands. In addition to that, broken telescopes are currently visible on many hills on the island. All these changes hint towards the arrival of an alien species to the Fortnite universe with Chapter 2 Season 7.
YouTuber PlayStation Grenade talked about the hidden telescopes on the island in a recent video.
Lastly, Epic Games has added a TV screen on the island. Traditionally, these items have arrived before live events. The TV screen is blank at the moment, but we’ll most likely see an animation related to this season’s live event in the next week.
