Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 3 to bring new Battle Bus after OG version gets brutally destroyed

Fortnite players have seen the same Battle Bus ever since the game launched back in 2017. However, Epic Games could introduce a brand new Battle Bus in Chapter 5 Season 3 after destroying the old one at the Monster Jam event.

Despite the numerous changes that the Fortnite map has seen over the years, the Battle Bus has never been affected by the ongoing storyline in the game.

However, that could potentially change in Chapter 5 Season 3 because Epic Games, as a part of their promotional campaign for the new season, destroyed the Battle Bus at the Monster Jam World Finals XXIII on May 19 at SoFi Stadium.

This is the first time the Battle Bus has been included as a part of a promotional campaign for a season. Apart from the vehicle, multiple Fortnite characters were also spotted at the event.

The speculation that there will be a new Battle Bus in Chapter 5 Season 3 was further fueled by a post shared by the official Fortnite account on X.

The post showcased the current Battle Bus being destroyed by Monster Trucks, and was captioned, “Might be a new bus in town.”

While players have speculated that the Armored Battle Bus will return, it’s worth remembering that when it was introduced in Chapter 3, it was a driveable vehicle and not something that everyone would jump out of at the start of the match.

Although that doesn’t mean that there’s no possibility of the Armored Bus replacing the Battle Bus in Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 3: Wrecked, Epic Games could take this opportunity to add a completely different vehicle.

The post also suggests that Monster Trucks could make their way to the island in the new season. While the devs don’t add new vehicles to the game that often, adding these Monster Trucks makes sense in Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 3 because they go well with the “Wrecked” theme.
