Since the last issue of the Fortnite X Marvel: Zero War comics got leaked online. Fans have been talking about HulkBuster a lot. Even though it was said that it would be an Iron Man Zero skin in the game, many community members think Epic Games is hiding something.
Since the skin is so big when fully armoured, many think a mechanized version is still in the works. Even though this is a long shot, some digital clues support this idea.

Is the HulkBuster the next vehicle or robot to be added to Fortnite?
Even though a clear answer can’t be given now, there are a few things to consider. First, the leaked files about the new mech showed that it seemed to work more like a suit than a vehicle. HYPEX, a well-known leaker, had this to say:
“Epic has started to make a new character vehicle that looks like a mech.”
Leakers discovered that the mech with the code “Plate Hawk” can block fire in both primary and secondary modes, sprint, and reload. Even though these work in a way that looks like BRUTE. Everything changed when the HulkBuster was shown in the comics.
Since BRUTE already has two versions in the game, a third would be boring. Keeping this in mind, fans would be excited to see a new type of mech. In addition to the abilities already mentioned, the next mech will also be able to destroy itself.
Some players like to play in a “scorched earth” style. So it’s smart to destroy a vehicle instead of leaving it for the enemy to use. Even after all that, it’s still unclear what the new mech will look like.

When will Fortnite get the new mech?
The files for the new mech were found for the first time in Fortnite Season 3, Chapter 3. Since the developers usually work on new items and game mechanics a few seasons in advance, they can’t be in the game at that time.
It was thought that it would be in the game this season. But after two weeks of Season 4 of Chapter 3, it’s clear that nothing is set in stone yet. Also, since the upcoming mech just got a new feature, it’s likely not finished and can’t be used as it is.
If everything goes as planned and Epic Games can meet the deadlines, the mech might be added to the game near the end of Chapter 3, Season 4 of Fortnite. If not, there is always the following season.
On that note, it’s important to note that mechs often bring bad news in the metaverse. They are only added when the island is in danger and reality is falling apart.
So far, they have been seen at the end of Chapter 1, Season X, which had the Black Hole event, and Chapter 2, Season 8, which had the End event.
Even though we can’t say for sure that Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 4 is the end of this part of the story, we can’t ignore the facts either. So, players will have to wait and see what happens next. There are still more than two months to go, so nobody knows what will happen.
