Fortnite and Metallica team up for crossover event in upcoming 30.10 update
It is highly likely that Metallica will make an appearance at the Fortnite Festival through the 30.10 update, although the developers have not yet confirmed this. Previous leaks had hinted at the renowned metal group as the main performers for the upcoming season, and the developers have been subtly hinting at their arrival.
The Chapter 5 Season 3 Battle Pass features a Rust skin wearing a Metallica t-shirt, further confirming the leaked 2024 roadmap that surfaced earlier in the year.
A teaser regarding Fortnite Festival Season 4 has been recently unveiled by Epic Games, featuring question marks against a yellow backdrop.

This weapon, which was first spotted in a leaked trailer, is capable of launching a large three-pronged hook that can damage players and attach to vehicles.
Upon attachment, players will have the ability to utilize the cars to pull them along, aiding in their movement across the map and providing a fresh strategy to counter the dominating vehicles in Chapter 5 Season 3.

It has been hinted by Shiina that a new item, the Metal Lightning Guitar Mythic, will be introduced to the game.
