Fortnite leak suggests new PvE battle event in Chapter 3 Season 2

Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 2 is well and truly on its way now, with a current theme of 'resistance', which involves fighting back against the Imagined Order forces. They are attacking players and wreaking havoc with several blimps around the sky and tanks.

A new leak suggests that some sort of PvE battle event is set to be introduced as part of the new season of the battle royale game.

Here's what we know about the potential Fortnite PvE battle event, which was spotted thanks to a glitch on Reddit, and later confirmed by Fortnite leakers such as iFireMonkey.

Fortnite Chapter 3 Season might introduce a new battle event soon according to Reddit leak

The Fortnite leak on Reddit suggested that players may soon have to fight in order to defend certain locations on the map against NPC soldiers

The exact quest will be phrased as "help the Seven reclaim…" followed by specific locations such as Tilted Towers or Spider-Man's Daily Bugle, which players will be tasked with defending or attacking.

Right now, the map shows the areas occupied by the IO and The Seven’s resistance, however, there hasn't been much movement along the battle lines since the beginning of this season.

A datamine of the game's files confirmed the 'Seven Vs IO' event will take place in five locations, with the PvE encounter spread across three stages.

The leakers have also claimed that a separate limited-time mode is not likely to be part of the event.

This battle event event seems quite similar to the Sideways Encounter on the previous season of the battle royale. The difference is that this one is there's a specific objective in mind behind the battle, instead of just killing the NPC enemies.

When is the Fortnite PvE battle event?

There is no exact information on when we can expect to see the Fortnite PvE battle event added to the game. #

If the files are already in the current version of the battle royale, then it's likely that the PvE encounters will kick off soon or with the next patch - however this is not confirmed for now.
