‘Fortnite’ players are obsessed with new mysterious ‘Wanderer’ character

Fortnite players have quickly become obsessed with a new, mysterious character known as the Wanderer.The Wanderer first started appearing in Fortnite yesterday (June 25) and has been spotted at several different locations around the Island including the Estate Station, Placid Pumps and Coastal Comms.However, the hooded figure disappears as soon as a player gets too close and only seems to spawn once per match.

Not much is known about the Wanderer but he has featured in recent Fortnite lore. Following the defeat of Zeus at the end of Chapter 5 Season 2, the Oracle warned players that the Wanderer was drawing near, but hope would guide them (via the fan-made Fortnite Wiki).A figure who looked like the Wanderer was also seen at the start of Chapter 5 Season 3, appearing as part of Megalo Don’s Wasteland Warriors.

Broadcasts from Megalo Don warn players not to look under the Wanderer’s hood “as it would be a sight that insignificant minds would not be able to bear”.
