This article is about the third season of Chapter 5. For other uses of Season 3, see Season 3 (disambiguation).

Chapter 5: Season 3, also known as Season 30, was the thirtieth season of Fortnite: Battle Royale. It was the third season of Chapter 5. The season began on May 24th 2024, and concluded on August 15th 2024.

The season's main slogan is Wrecked with a theme around the apocalyptic wasteland and Nitro powered vehicles.

Previously, in Fortnite[]

In Chapter 5 Season 1, Pandora's Box was opened by Valeria which unleashed the souls of The Underworld to the Island. In Chapter 5 Season 2, The Pantheon arrived and, after Zeus sealed the souls of The Underworld, he decided to kill all mortals. The Looper, The Oracle, Medusa, Hope, and Jones with The Underground against the god, finally defeating Zeus once and for all. Then Zeus, in a last desperate act, made the statue at Mount Olympus strike Pandora's Box three times to unleash Nitro from within, creating a huge sandstorm who arrived from the south with the Leviathan toward the Island.

How did it start?[]

The leader of the Wasteland Warriors, Megalo Don arrives on the Island with his Leviathan through the sandstorm that is sticking to the southern part. Hope and Jones enlist the help of The Looper to learn more about Megalo Don with the Wasteland Warriors and what they came to do on the Island.

Storyline[]

Megalo Don, attracted to the power of Pandora's Box, has conquered the southern part of the Island. He plans is destroy Helios once his ship, the Leviathan, is refueled by Nitro. A substance that affects players and vehicles which was originally from Pandora's Box. He then asked The Machinist to build a Nitro refinery (Redline Rig) to build a pipeline connected to the Leviathan ship in order to refuel it with Nitro. He also has taken all the Nitro for himself and some wastelanders (Rust, Ruckus, Brite Raider, etc.) have opposed him for this. Also, a mysterious hooded figure can be found in a form of graffiti and on a loading screen, most likely being The Wanderer, who The Oracle warned us about at the end of Chapter 5: Season 2 Story Quests.

In Part 1 of Story Quests, "Welcome to the Wasteland", Hope and Jones introduce The Looper to the Wasteland. Hope says that Megalo Don might be strong enough to take over the Island and has The Looper test out features (Nitro, Vehicle Mods, etc) of the wasteland. At the end of Part 1 of Story Quests, Hope reveals that from the surveillance devices they put at Wasteland locations, she's heard some bad rumors and hopes that it's just chatter.

In Part 2, "Raiding the Rig", Hope sends The Looper to speak with Rust and Brite Raider to investigate rumors about Megalo Don's plan. Both of the two say that Megalo Don is planning something very secretive and that more information could be found at Redline Rig. After taking out one of the guards and using their keycard to upload data to Hope, Jones tells that The Machinist is Megalo Don's only competent engineer and she is splitting her time between building the pipeline and defending the refinery from intruders. Jones tasks The Looper to sabotage Megalo Don's ship. With that complete, Hope contacts The Looper, saying that Pandora's Box is still there, and asks to steal one of Pandora's Box's gems from Brutal Beachhead. Jones disagrees with Hope, saying that she shouldn't be so obsessed with Pandora's Box as he was obsessed with the Zero Point to not lose everything as he lost, but she doesn't take his advice. At the end of Part 2 of Story Quests, The Looper brings the first Pandora Gem to Hope. After taking it, she tells that her head started pounding.

Meanwhile, the Island's inhabitants see a hooded figure watching them from the distance. In one of Megalo Don's transmissions on the radio he confirms that this person is The Wanderer and that they are working together. He says to not try to see The Wanderer's face as their puny minds could not comprehend it and that not even Megalo Don has seen his face. There are also mini Rift Beacons on the map that are trying to scan for The Zero Point and Backbone, Power Chord, Riot, and Ruckus founded a faction named Chiara's Chums and they have all collectively agreed on Chiara, who has yet to accept, being their leader.

In Part 3, "Enter the Nitrodrome", Hope contacts The Looper again, saying that she found a second Pandora Gem at the Nitrodrome owned by Ringmaster Scarr. Scarr agrees to trade the gem in exchange for The Looper doing a magnificent stunt. After that is done Hope tells The Looper to retrieve and give her the gem. At the end of Part 3 of Story Quests, The Looper gives Hope the gem. Hope says that from her intel there are two Pandora Gems left to retrieve. Hope then tells The Looper that the gems show her visions, with one of those visions being of Megalo Don working with The Wanderer. She then tells the Looper to be aware of a person in weather-inappropriate robes.

Meanwhile, Magneto arrives on the Island, breaking open the bunker near the Zenith Wall, which turns out to be the Weapon-X Secret Laboratory. In his dialogue, Magneto says that he has also seen The Wanderer and he describes them as an impending evil. In his quests he also tells us to configure three Rift Beacons around the map.

In Part 4, "Pea Bois Inc", Jones and Hope contact The Looper again, saying that the owner of the next Pandora Gem is Peabody, who, according to Jones' watchings, is not hostile. So Hope and Jones ask The Looper to talk to Peabody at Pea Bois HQ. He agrees to trade the gem for doing a few things for him. After helping propagate Peabody's Pea Buddies and testing tire bounciness, Peabody tasks The Looper to help his auto technician in training, Dummy, as a final request to get the gem. Dummy asks to collect some car parts since he can't work well because of the heat melting his plastic. With that complete, The Looper trades car parts to Peabody to receive the Pandora Gem. After doing so, Hope contacts them again, saying that there's just one gem left and it's with Megalo Don. At the end of Part 4 of Story Quests, The Looper gives Hope the gem. She says that her headache is stronger this time and she needs to relax, maybe paint something.

In Part 5, "The Great Leviathan Heist", Hope and Jones contact The Looper again, saying that the pipeline is almost finished and they need to get the last Pandora Gem quickly. After talking to Peabody, who reveals that the gem is in one of Megalo Don's caches across the Island, Jones and Hope ask The Looper to find the cache containing the last Pandora Gem. The Looper than proceeds to destroy objects at wasteland locations, eliminate wasteland guards, blow up vehicles, and damage players with vehicle weapons, bumpers, or Nitro Fists to find the gem. The Looper than managed to get a map, which shows the location of the Pandora Gem, from Megalo Don. Throughout all this Hope has more headaches from the gems. The Looper than obtains the final Pandora Gem from Megalo Don's hidden cache. At the end of Part 5 of Story Quests, The Looper gives the gem to Hope. All four Pandora Gems are put into the gem holder and The Oracle appears before Hope. The Oracle then says to Hope that they have a lot of talking to do.

Meanwhile, the pipeline has been finished and Megalo Don's Leviathan ship will soon activate. Megalo Don is furious that Hope and Jones have stole all of his Pandora Gems and orders his marauders to bring Hope and Jones' heads to him. He also reveals that, when refueled, his Leviathan ship will "blacken the skies, rend the beaches in two, and DEVOUR your pathetic little cities!" and that he has been assured of this by a wise friend.

On August 10, 2024; The Pipeline is activated, and the Leviathan is starting to refuel. However, The Wanderer (who is revealed to be Doctor Doom) sabotages the pipeline causing it to overload and explode. The explosion travels all the way to Redline Rig and uncovers Pandora's Box.

In the Epilogue, "Beware the Wanderer", Hope contacts The Looper again, asking them to talk with wastelanders (Brite Raider or Rust) about the pipeline explosion. They say that Magneto showed up and wonder who is The Wanderer. After that Hope says that Magneto came to talk to her. Jones is not happy about it because Magneto is not trustworthy, but The Oracle interrupts, saying to Hope to walk with her to Pandora's Box. At Pandora's Box The Oracle says that the box should destroy Hope, but instead, it talks to her, asking Hope what it shows her. Hope says that the box promises her everything she ever wanted, but she knows that it's just showing her what she wants to see, that if she gives in, it'll destroy her. The Oracle says that Hope and Pandora's Box is linked by fate, but The Wanderer's interference has warped this fate, and now it is not enough to simply close the box. The Wanderer must be fought and they need to win. After that, Jones asks The Looper to talk to Magneto to find out what he knows. Magneto says that the box is going to destroy us all and he has already set up Rift Beacons to call in reinforcements. He also can't verify this Wanderer is who Magneto thinks he is, but if it's the person that Magneto is thinking about, this place may be doomed (hinting at Doctor Doom). After this dialogue, Jones contacts The Looper again saying that they need to have a quick chat about the Island's fate. He says, that the Island's been doomed before, but this time feels different. He has been around enough apocalypses to know who's got the heart to stop one and this one is all on Hope so we should do what we can to help her. After offering help to Hope, she says that she is still waiting for The Oracle to call her back. The Oracle interrupts again, saying that Hope was meant to be the hope at the bottom of Pandora's Box and her name is literal. At the end of the Epilogue of Story Quests, Hope asks The Looper to spray Hope's graffiti at Wasteland locations to give the Island's inhabitants hope. During spraying, The Oracle says that this Wanderer has taken the box's power for himself and has sealed Hope's fate along with his. She says Hope must fight The Wanderer. Hope is not sure that she can, but The Oracle says that if Hope takes a stand, others will follow. At the end she says to Hope to prepare for a great war, a war she must win, against Doctor Doom tying into the next season...

Trivia[]

  • Mark Rein's teaser word for Chapter 5: Season 3 was "Nitro".[10]
  • Chapter 5: Season 3's theme was previously shown when Epic Games' Fortnite roadmap for 2024 was leaked online.
    • The keyart in the roadmap differs from the actual keyart, likely due to the roadmap art being concept art.
  • At the start of this season, there was a great controversy between casual players and competitive players over the car meta. The controversy seems to have died down now following the implementation of counter weapons to cars.
  • Chapter 5: Season 3 is the final season to have its Battle Pass Cosmetics be timed exclusives.
