Fortnite Metal Masq bundle leaked and coming soon

The leaked Fortnite Metal Masq bundle

Fortnite Chapter 2 could be set to introduce a brand new ‘Meal Masq’ bundle in the near future, if leaked information is to be believed. 

Epic Games rolled out their v11.40 patch on January 15, which included a revamped Heavy Assault Rifle, the introduction of a new feature called Sidegrading and more.

Alongside those official announcements, though, data miners have been raking through all of the new files added to the game as part of the weekly update and it is fair to say that they found a gold mine in terms of cosmetics. A whole bunch of skins, styles and cosmetics were leaked after the patch went live.

One of the most notable and exciting pieces of news to emerge from the leaks, however, wasn’t one particular outfit or style. Instead, a fresh bundle has been leaked ahead of schedule.

The Metal Masq pack was leaked by reliable data miner Lucas7yoshi, showing what appears to be a main skin (right) followed by an alternative style that players will be able to activate.

The leaked hasn’t given a specific timeframe as to when they expect the pack to be added to Fortnite Chapter 2, although content found in leaks are typically ready to go. Well, apart from unusual cases like the Bao Bros skins that took months to arrive after being revealed, of course.

Over the last few months, players have been treated to a Star Wars crossover, Winter event and much more – all of which brought different limited time modes with them.

In the future, though, it appears that a new Search and Destroy Creative LTM will be announced alongside this Metal Masq pack. At least, that’s what Lucas7yoshi has suggested.

As is the case with any Fortnite leaks, though, we can never be sure as to whether or not this is how things will play out in-game. Sometimes things found in the game files don’t always make the cut, or are amended, but it’s certainly worth keeping an eye on the Fortnite Item Shop for the foreseeable future if you want to pick up this leaked bundle.
