Shared by the popular @CrossLeaks account on Twitter, the first image shows a minivan attached to a balloon as characters attempt to sneak a Fortnite Llama into the back and make their getaway!

The second shows a Llama inside a cracked open safe as a crew, or squad, descends upon it.

Both of the loading screens were found in Fortnite’s V5.40 files along with a whole host of leaked skins and cosmetics, upcoming items and information about an upcoming “Sphere Spawn” event.

It is currently uncertain whether the loading screens will appear at random or only after players complete certain High Stakes challenges or Getaway LTM matches.

The High Stakes event and Getaway LTM went live along with the V5.40 patch on September 6, meaning players can now begin staging heists like the ones shown in the loading screens!

Keep an eye out for more leaks as data miners continue to work their way through the latest update’s files.
