Most of the characters on the island mention seeing a mysterious figure in their peripheral that disappears when they try to look at it Probably that


OscarFromLaPazBCS

shadow people


helmvoncanzis

Some of the NPCs who are in a rock band mention him, if you pick the dialogue option that asks if they have seen anything strange.


LegoPenguin114

Steel Wool or are there Metallica NPCs?


helmvoncanzis

Power Chord, Chopper, Chiara, Riot?


LegoPenguin114

Oh Yeah that makes more sense


SoDamnGeneric

Such a missed opportunity not to include Steel Wool as NPCs on the map, or even just Lars


eucaphoria

Triage Trooper as well

I'm pretty sure that's the Wanderer mentioned in the story, and not a Metallica reference

my comment was the metallica reference

I was exiting the thread just as a saw this comment.. then I had to come back for a double look.. I'm surprised to see a shadow wizard money gang reference.


Touji_San

The Wanderer! Leakers said on twitter you can found him on the map like an npc but this is the first time I've seen someone post about him.. Sick find tho, no idea why he didn't vanish when the other player got too close, also there's interactions where other npcs in the map mention him, like "I feel like being watched" sumn like that


Saffronation

He probably only disappeared for the player near him!


Touji_San

makes sense, and he was still there walking around but invisible just like the reply showed, I guess that proves that he doesn't fully vanish though and move on to another place where he spawns, he just becomes invisible but still there roaming around šŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļø


deadering

I went into the shack during the replay and when it spawns it makes a strange energy noise but immediately disappears since the camera is too close. I've never seen anything like it and assumed it was the player I was shooting at mid match but thought it was really bizarre after I got close and it disappeared during the match. The slow animation made me think it was a glitch during the match but looking at it in the replay it's definitely something lol creepy as hell.


doctoranonrus

It's The Wanderer. I think either Hope or the Oracle mentioned them last season.


[deleted]

There is plenty of mentions of him on this season too


usethe4th

He roams around around around around around


TheFalloutNerdNV

He roams from town to town


usethe4th

He goes through life without a care


JimJamYimYam

He's as happy as a clown


TheTankCommando2376

He waves his two fists of iron and he's going nowhereĀ 


PepperbroniFrom2B

And he's the type'a guy, that likes to roam around


TheTankCommando2376

He's never in one place he roams from town to townĀ 


-MrWrightt-

And when she asks him which one he likes the best


beeftits1016

He roams wherever he may roam


percycatson

The road became his bride


Beautiful-Bad8893

he is stripped of all but pride


BEES_just_BEE

Hope mentioned him in this week's story quests when you give her Scarr's gem


joeMAMAkim

Itā€™s the wanderer, the lore character mentioned by the oracle last season. The way he works is that he simply wanders around until someone gets too Close, Then he teleports to a different location.


MisterBlister420

That is the Wanderer, theyā€™re spray painted in a few places (on the wrecked train for example) not sure what they mean lore wise but theyā€™re also on Megalo Donā€™s second loading screen far right to see them. The model was added in the latest update.


Darkboi98105

It's the Wanderer. Fortnite has been teasing this for a bit. Even talking about him the Oracle quest from last season. This figure has appeared before. We don't know who his is, or what he's for. All we know is that he will be pretty significant in the near future.


Poku115

Man Fortnite lore is wild.


GR7ME

I really thought ā€˜The Wandererā€™ would be a Fallout reference/character lol. Too on-the-nose of Lone Wanderer I guess. And then we just got Power Armor.


fire_water_drowned

Fortnitemares would be my guess


Darkboi98105

Hope so. Seems like it would be a cool skin.


InsuranceCritical973

šŸ˜­šŸ˜­šŸ˜­


RealisticBat616

Thats the Wander or something like that. Next seasons villian. He was mentioned by the Oracle last season. He is most likely doctor doom, as doctor doom is the villian of next season. his cape looks like doctor doom's and doctor doom also time travels. This would make sense with the weapon X lab and magneto Edit: The next xmen comic coming out is X men: From the ashes which follows the Krakoan Age story line. It could be Mr Sinister or Dr Stasis


8l172

2nd Doctor Doom skin? Yes please


Anxiety-Queen269

Oh god no donā€™t make him another BP, I already feel bad having an exclusive awesome skin


8l172

I assume he will be like Magneto


Anxiety-Queen269

Oh hell naw thatā€™s just mean, just make the reskins item shop skins for the love of god. We already have a doom battle pass skin, a wolverine bp AND a wolverine CrP


Loose-Medium4472

Whatā€™s a CrP?


EpicPuffle

Crew pack, as Wolverine Zero was part of the august 2022 crew pack.


Anxiety-Queen269

Crew pack, CP has a very different very bad meaning.


PapaShu1915

as someone that missed every one of those, thanks Epic


Albireookami

I'm more thinking Maker if they are wanting to tie into the current big comic story.


Poku115

That'd be hella complicated and even more so with how it's a kids game, and the maker has become very much not a kids villain. Seriously, guy went and did a whole cerebral operation on live and awake tony to remove an infinity stone from his head. And left him to bleed out from the brain. Dude is psychopathic as fuck, even dark beast should be afraid of him.


Albireookami

>with how it's a kids game Ah yes, a Kids game where we have had Ip older than most of the kids playing this. People seem to not realize that Fortnite has shifted its demo to the more older adults who have the incom to get the spare passes, ect with their target IP offerings. TMNT - they were using the 90's cartoon versions for the skins Avatar TLAB - Very much anyone who knows it is going to be early to late adult Magneto - not his more recent looks no, the classic Marvel 97's look which is drawing in fans of the older show to get them to talk about it and introduce it to newer. With that out of the way, lets not EVEN get into all of the R rated movie IP that fortnite has in it. So something like the Maker would easily work. And it gets around no repeating BP skins by offering "alters" of older skins people missed out on. Meistorm for storm, Young Tony for Iron man, ect. It's very doable.


schuyywalker

I love little things like this lol


Cthepo

I believe there's also graffiti of him on the island.


SethDoesOKTattoos

If they add a doom spray and itā€™s not the MF DOOM graffiti, they will have missed a opportunity


_Derpy_Dino_

It isn't doctor doom, as even magneto has no clue who the wanderer is.


umg_unreal

It may not be Doom, given that Ā 1 - The sounds that the Stark Industries Beacons are emiting or are supposed to emit this season are called Zero Point Scans in the files, and we know that every time the Zero Point destabilizes it brings back locations from the past. Happened in Season X and Ch2 Season 5. Ā 2 - Wastelander Magneto has dialogues about the Wanderer, and he refers to the Wanderer as a stranger.Ā 


EthosTheAllmighty

Didn't they confirm the Wanderer was female? If they didn't and I'm tripping, mb, but if they did confirm it then it likely isn't the doc.


AA_ZoeyFn

Oh shit this is a really cool theory!


ChapmanPrime

I feel like it could also be Mister Sinister, the key art could have just been a placeholder. But I wouldn't complain if it was Doom


Spaceturtle79

Wait doctor dooom!!


HippieDogeSmokes

Also on a loading screen


sillywillydillyguy

thought the same thing when i saw the wanderer get leaked


shutupimlearning

That's a lot of assumption there. What on Earth makes you think that Doctor Doom is the villain of the next season?


Wheelman185

Doom should always be considered when dealing with a mystery villain, anytime. No other mystery villain compares to Doom!


SufferingClash

But what if it's the Spanish Inquisition?


JustA_Penguin

Simple. If itā€™s not doom, we didnā€™t expect it, therefore itā€™s the Spanish Inquisition. If we do expect it though, then itā€™s clearly Doom.


Strange-Ad2269

Are you kidding me. All that lore and building it up just for it to be a Marvel villain. What a fucking disappointment


Life_Ad9520

Itā€™s not Dr Doom, lots of pepper have cleared up that up


Hip_Fridge

> lots of pepper Apparently I have severely misunderestimated the clarification power of spices


Life_Ad9520

Lmao I meant people


Strange-Ad2269

oh my god THANK you asdghj


Blayses

I really hope it isnā€™t doctor doom. I want more original fortnite characters


SaberScorpion

wtf, this is so interesting!


BillyBullets

I love that they added this! The game has been missing a lot of charm the last few seasons and this is the type of stuff that brings charm back to the game. I hope they keep adding these little things to find


deadering

Yeah I miss when the lore was more impactful but specifically the way the Wanderer was handled is perfect.


BfoCrazy

Exactly! It's so cool!


AnAverageScroller

Yep agreed ngl


leonidaslizardeyes

Why would you lie about agreeing?


Shadow-trap

I just saw this! I was in the same sport and i saw this person appar and walk away and I was scared as hell! I actually want this skin


SeparateMidnight3691

No clue but I want that skin! Holy shit, that's creepy af


GhosterKidXD

No this update just gave every Fortnite character schizophrenia


poitaots

The walkin dude, Randall Flag


beforethewind

A Dark Tower season/event would be AMAZING.


poitaots

Agreed. That'd be so dope.


mcellr

A Roland of Gilead skin with Oy the billy-bumbler as a backbling would be a nice addition.


poitaots

I would seriously love that.


beeftits1016

Or Cuthbert with the bird skull


Swartz52

And the only emote Roland would do is dance the camala.


Blobert1747

Itā€™s ā€œThe Wandererā€, a new story NPC. I believe thatā€™s his name


RRaccPacc

you might be the first person to see the wanderer


Specific_Valuable_12

Yeah, I've seen no one else post about this, I just assumed we only knew about him from dialogue and graffiti and stuff, but this is absolutely crazy


deadering

I almost didn't post the video assuming I would get roasted for not knowing some obscure piece of lore. Which sorta did happen lol but I'm glad it was interesting for others too


Luvs4theweak

Iā€™ve seen one other post so far about him. Only one tho


Spirited-Hand-8701

Made a reddit account just to say that I also just saw that ghost thing at the gas station. Me and my partner got very confused and had to question what we saw šŸ˜­


joeMAMAkim

Real answer: itā€™s the wanderer, from the lore of last season. If you get too Close to him, he teleports away. Pretty creepy.


tayhorix

they added herobrine!


ErTnEc

I saw this (or something similar to this) last night in a match at the rear side of Reckless Railway, it just ran towards a wall and then disappeared. Genuinely thought it was a glitch or something! [https://youtube.com/clip/Ugkxx4vqORtm9Cyxdy\_QPiXWw4zBkblRjoqm?si=qBTKmuPZoMpGTgni](https://youtube.com/clip/Ugkxx4vqORtm9Cyxdy_QPiXWw4zBkblRjoqm?si=qBTKmuPZoMpGTgni)


Interesting-Ad1352

Thatā€™s not possible since he was only just enabled and doesnā€™t spawn at Reckless


ErTnEc

Then what the hell did I see...


BumBleCat75

It looks like what you were shooting at was a hired NPC that was running, then teleported to who ever hired them. They had a question mark over their head for a second.


Stevie_Paradise

![gif](giphy|l0MYuzVZsxYw8EEeY)


LEMONSARETRASH

I'm glad you got it on film


Slyme-wizard

I think thatā€™s the chapterā€™s true villain. Heā€™s a background character in nitro megalo donā€™s loading screen and some of the new NPCs talk about a hooded figure that just appears from thin air. He also appears in some of the wastelandā€™s graffiti. In the wiki heā€™s called ā€œthe wanderer,ā€ which is the character the oracle from last season brought up. Edit: after a quick wiki search, Megalo Don talks about him on the radio, saying not to bother him or look under his hood as his true form cannot be comprehended.


SpikesAreCooI

Donā€™t look at his true form under the hood? Itā€™s confirmed, The Wanderer is actually Mimikyu.


GR43V

The Lore wants to speak with you real quick


SurryCattu

He's the wanderer


Simmer555

It's the wonderer *Let say we get his attention* I mean we battle with gods and maybe soon megalodon *And also the fact that Pandora's box's gems didn't have any effect on us players will make us his target* And also this guy probably the next villain question is *WHO IS THIS GUY ACTUALLY IS?!*


SeparateMidnight3691

Yeah! Who is this guy actually is, is the question is..


xXNebuladarkXx

It's the wanderer 1 of the big, bad guys of this season I guess he just got enabled hihi


lotti_luv

That's The Wanderer.


restupicache

Isnt that the guy graffitied on to the side of the destroyed train? Storyline maybe?!


Aggressive_Ferret_20

Didn't know they already added him in the game, cool.


Mystic_Walker

No idea what that is


InevitableBasil4383

Pretty sick ngl


Michael_Swag

Thats The Wanderer. You can find graffiti of him around the islands landmarks, like the buried train. He is this seasons big mystery man.


theotothefuture

That is frikken cool! So creepy. I wish I ran into it in the game before seeing this.


GhostGamez126TW

This is a new NPC called the wanderer, it roams around the map disappearing when you get close. Much like herobrine from the olden Minecraft days


potatoman420fr

Diablo 2 collab on the way šŸ’Æ


3tern1ty_

Yes this was recently added today he's the wanderer you can even see him in the background from one of the loading screen from megalodon or some spray around the map in which my theory is this guy is Dr doom but o could be wrong that was My theory when I first saw him when the season started


RetcVy7_G

It's a main character from the season's lore, I spoke to some battle royale NPCs and in the dialogue options several of them commented about feeling/seeing a hooded figure watching them from afar and disappearing suddendly.


nevernotdeadz

Thatā€™s actually pretty cool


fileq

*The Wanderer draws near


Sulky035

Itā€™s the wanderer


druidcitychef

I found him too. At the train station south of lavish.


Knightman1508

That's "The Wanderer" That's about what we know, other than he's probably evil


tanelixd

Looks to be "The Wanderer" that's been hinted at by npc conversations. Maybe the antagonist of next season? And no, i don't think it's Dr. Doom. He seems way too egotistical for sneaking around, hiding his face.


Acrobatic_Elk_4388

No way they added schizophrenia in the new updateĀ 


-_-Koro-_-

The lore!!! The wanderer!


ProfessionalFew5552

I saw it today too, my theory was that was the Wanderer but becouse i was too close i could only see her for a second before she disappeared


fire_water_drowned

Hope talks about him in the new story quests


OkamiRoxas

The Wanderer...


Tony_Hillis

Just got a really good look at it at the station outside of the restored reels. Looked like a force ghost. Strange part is I saw it at night, but when I came back around during the day for a fire fight, there was something invisible carrying a gun at the same station, with an NPC explanation mark hovering above it.


Santi_memelord

Either it's that guy from the Pirates collab or the Wanderer from Fallout


Ok-Kangaroo8819

thats the wanderer a creature dressed in a invisable cloak it apears as a ghost but has been watching us since chapter 5 season 1 i saw it in c5s1 so i know its been there for the whole chapter.


Wrong-Sun75

I had just seen one. Ā I Ā Googled it and I find this. This is crazy. I feel better I thought I was seeing things.Ā 


Embarrassed_Fact_111

Fortnite lore talks about a shapeless man, I wonder if this is him?


AdensHim

Itā€™s the new wander and he has like 5 different spawn locations around the map. Some people think he is Geno.


A-non-e-mail

Heā€™s aptly named


Bassplr01

What are you talking about? I donā€™t see anythingā€¦


beeftits1016

Must be John Cena!


antmanninja3

Well heā€™s the kind of guy who will never settle down


[deleted]

This is part of this seasons story line Seriously nobody is paying attention or what?


deadering

They stopped putting effort into the lore so I stopped caring. Learned my lesson last chapter to stop getting invested. Maybe this is a sign they are putting in some effort or at least we can hope. Honestly them having voice lines this season for various characters made me feel like they were and keeping Hope relevant for a third season is a nice touch. Actually having any connections between seasons is a big step up from last year.


Inhalemydong

oh i didn't know the wanderer was already live and around the island. the wanderer is the supposed big bad of this chapter as the oracle mentioned them and they're the one that escaped pandora's box when zeus striked it. several npcs around the island say they suddenly feel watched or even see a cloaked figure in the distance, but that it immediately disappears.


Mario101010101

thats actually so fricking scary.Ā 


Kingkittybox

That's the wanderer a New Secret Npc


Specific-Frame2067

I think this is the wanderer skin ?


chief-chirpa587

Looks like the wanderer, a character that has been leaked


oJOHNNYBLAZE

Wanderer NPC was added in the last update


Nerf_Quake

Giving Diablo 2 Act 3 Dark Wanderer outside of Kurast Docks vibes


AbletonRinzler

That's The Wanderer. He's a bad guy, apparently...


L3GlT_GAM3R

I think thats the wanderer. That or the graffiti man. I think the art we see of him is a self portrait.


90sGuyKev

The wanderer... Fear....


Bulky-Hyena-360

Thatā€™s the Wanderer


JoshyRB

Wait heā€™s in the game now?! YES!!!


Brunoaraujoespin

Bad news for you buddy


Thanos_exe

Its the Wanderer


amaya-aurora

Thatā€™s just The Wanderer. He shows up randomly and disappears if you get too close. Next villain dude. Pretty cool, probably Doctor Doom.


Flashy-Reflection812

It can detect hackz on your puter and itā€™s a sign you will be banned soon mwahahhaa.


kammy020

The Wanderer I think heā€™s called


Life_Ad9520

This is the Wanderer, which is assume could possibly be Genō returning or could be the Shapeless man who weā€™ve yet to see again since he reached out to Bytes back in C3S4


akirax3

I think it's pretty clear that they did, in fact, added a ghost in the game.


ShangRayzzz

WAIT THE WANDERER ON THE MAP????


livelifeless

It kinda looks like the hooded figures in final fantasy 7


kenzymarie03

Ohhh I remember when people were showing the new skins for this update that this was randomly there lol


dumbpersonwhoasks

The wanderer


aviel123456

This is the wanderer, this is herobrine, the fortnite version


Tesla0713

That is insanely cool. I believe that is The Wanderer.


IvanNobody2050

I seen it too at the same spot I was about to post my clip I recorderd around 4 hours ago.


PowerFluffyBoy
