Character Reaction[]

Character special dialogues for players wearing the Megalo Don Outfit.

Chapter 5: Season 3

Jing: The wasteland deserves better than the likes of you.
The Operator: There's nothing you could offer me that would get me to work for you, sharkteeth.
Persephone: Sail that Leviathan down the River Styx, mortal. See what happens.
Peabody: Sorry, pal. We don't have the parts you need.
Oscar: Tiger vs. shark. I have to admit, I'm curious how that bout would go.

Trivia[]

  • Megalo Don is the first Final Level Outfit since Chapter 3: Season 4 to not be of Legendary rarity.
    • This is due to the decision by Epic Games to hide rarities in order to "simplify the appearance of Fortnite and remove outdated Battle Royale-inspired systems", making Epic the new default rarity.
  • Megalo Don's left shoulder pad has an insignia that greatly resembles those used in the military, indicating a possible military background.

Behavior[]


Megalo Don will not attack the player on sight unless he or a Wasteland Guard are attacked, they block his path for too long, or they aim their weapon at him for too long.

Megalo Don patrols the roads of the island inside his personal Behemoth with a Wasteland Grunt in the second seat while leading a War Bus driven by a Wasteland Elite and Grunts. His Shields are bolstered while he sits inside his Behemoth and will not re-enter if he exits the vehicle.

He will not attack the player on sight unless he, a Wasteland Guard, or their vehicles are attacked, they get on the War Bus seats, they block his path for too long, or they aim their weapon at him for too long.

While he drives his Behemoth all oncoming damage to the vehicle will instead be dealt to his Shields.


Megalo Don will alternate between his Combat Shotgun and Nitro Fists. Going in for a full punch combo when his target is close enough.

Special Abilities[]

  • Nitro Sprint Tackle
    • Megalo Don charges up his suit and sprints towards his target, transferring all his built up energy into a shoulder bash, dealing 36 damage and light knockback in the process. He will only use this ability when affected with Nitro.
  • Nitro Fuel Overclock
    • When Megalo Don's Shield is depleted for the first time he will charge up Nitro flowing in his body. Increasing his movement speed and infusing himself. The Nitro effect is permanently active until he is defeated.
      • While in this state, Megalo Don will begin to utilize an uppercut and air dash combo with his Nitro Fists when brandished. This does not override his full punch combo.
      • During the transformation time, Megalo Don will be immune to all damage.

    • They are also the first Bosses that can be aggro'd by aiming a weapon at them.
  • Like with all the other Wasteland Warrior Bosses, Megalo Don can be Nitro Energized early without depleting his Shield.
  • Megalo Don's Nitro Sprint Tackle ability is similar to Gunnar's Jetpack Charge and even uses the same sound effects. The differences being the windup time, and the speed and range Megalo Don travels.
  • Unlike the other Wasteland Warrior Bosses, Megalo Don's voice is not filtered through a loudspeaker when in his vehicle.

Lore[]

Welcome weaklings, *breathes* to my glorious Wasteland. To those who bow before me... GOOD... To those who FEAR me... *breathes* even better. And to any who thinks to stand against me, your screams will taste... sweet. Dear ones. *breathes*, I will enjoy every bite.[7]
— Megalo Don

Megalo Don was the ruthless leader of the Wasteland Warriors, the current owner of the "Leviathan" ship, the self-proclaimed "God" and self-proclaimed owner of the Nitro Wasteland. Megalo Don was seeking Pandora's Box power and planned to ravage the Island using the nitro fueled Leviathan Ship. His plans were foiled by The Wanderer.

He is a major antagonist of Fortnite: Battle Royale, serving as the main antagonist in Chapter 5: Season 3.

Personality[]

Megalo Don is the typical big bad, megalomaniac, evil brute with huge ego. His hunger for powers, destruction, sharks and Nitro seems to be endless, claiming the screams of his enemies will taste sweet and that he will enjoy every bite. Despite his quest for power, he is not interested in gaining new territories, he prefers to plunder, ravage, destroy, then return to sea to find new lands and do the same. However, he will not hesitate to do anything to make himself and his army more powerful, using technology and Nitro to empower themselves.

Despite his behavior, he isn't entirely merciless and does not harbor ill will towards those who fear him or bow to him, wanting to be praised as the ruler of the wasteland. Moreover, as long as people don't try to attack him, steal "his" nitro or get in his way, he won't go after them. When provoked, he warns people to "just walk away" showing that he knows how to exercise self-control despite his explosive temperament.

Despite some minor elements of mercy, his ultimate goal is the takeover and subsequent destruction of the island and there seem to be no lines he won't cross to accomplish it.

Sandstorm Event[]

Sandstorm Ship (5-23-2024) - Sandstorm Event - Fortnite

As Zeus wanted to get revenge after he was defeated and dethroned by The Looper, he used the remainder of his power to overload Pandora's Box and released an immense source of energy. This source of energy alerted Megalo Don, who therefore decided to go to the Island, having been mysteriously attracted by the power of the box. Crossing along The Sandstorm created by the energy of Pandora's Box to reach the Island. He used his ship's lights to send messages to everyone on the island: "NO HOPE", "GET REKT", "OUT OF CONTROL", "NO BRAKES", "WILDNESS" and "CASSATION", all in morse code.

Chapter 5: Season 3[]

The Wasteland Warriors arrived on the Island along with the sandstorm and claimed ownership of the Wasteland Biome and all the Nitro.[10] Hope discovered that Megalo Don plans to destroy the Island, but won't be able to launch his raid until his Leviathan ship is refueled with enough Nitro.[11] He therefore asks The Machinist, the Wasteland Warriors' engineer to extract Nitro to be able to power the Leviathan. In the meantime, Megalo Don and his crew cause chaos and destruction over the Island, leaving Hope, Jones and their allies to try and stop him before it's too late.

Leviathan's Folly (Full) - Loading Screen - Fortnite

*breathes* I, am the voice of the Wasteland!
Welcome weaklings, *breathes* to my glorious Wasteland!

To those who bow before me... GOOD...
To those who FEAR me... *breathes* even better.
And to any who think to stand against me, your screams will taste... sweet. Dear ones.
*breathes*, I will enjoy every bite.

*breathes* I, am the voice of the Wasteland.
(What) -Purpose is there for prey if not to be preyed on? *breathes*

What use are the weak if not as play things for the strong.
So... live out your magnificent purpose as chew toys for my CREW. *breathes*
Trust me... it is far more glorious and honor... than any life you'd build for yourself.

Hello. It's me *breathes* the voice of the Wasteland.
(I) -Have heard whispers that I wish to be your king. Hah! *breathes*

I no more wish to be your king than to be your servant!
I, am the stalking beast in the night. *breathes* The roaming teeth in the deepest waters...
I am the last thing you see, before the darkness takes hold!
My rule is self-evident *breathes*, and your rule is merely decorative.

...Guess who? *breathes* thats right. The voice of the Wasteland!
(This) -Island is... fine. *breathes* 3 bites out of 5 if I'm honest.

All this self-serious architecture! *breathes* And that sad mountain monument to the banished Gods!
Your only God now is ME, dear ones.
*breathes* And I will raze this entire pathetic island TO THE GROUND! Once my Leviathan awakes.

It's me, the voice of the Wasteland!

And now... the weather. Sand, *breathes* and more sand.

Brace yourselves weaklings, *breathes* for a moment of humility from your conqueror.

There is no "ME", Without YOU.
My purpose is to take, to destroy, to consume!
*breathes* Without your miserable selves, I would conquer only fields and rivers.
Doesn't that make you feel... *breathes* ...Special?

We are always looking for new brutes and brawlers to join my marauders! *breathes*

To apply, let's just say jobs among the marauders are taken. Not given.

When my Leviathan is refueled with Nitro... *breathes*

It will tear through this Island with its teeth.
It will blacken the sky, rend the beaches in two...
And DEVOUR your pathetic, little cities! *breathes*
And then, once everything of value has been plundered, consumed, or merely destroyed... *breathes*
Then, I will seek new horizons to BURN. *breathes*

I have decided... it is my birthday!

And I know exactly the gift I wish of you... *breathes*
That broken, has-been named Jones. And the charlatan artist calling herself, Hope.
They are collecting my precious baubles *breathes*
My Pandora gems... *breathes*
And It is IRRITATING! *breathes*
Those are MINE. They cannot have them! *breathes*
If you love me, or... if you fear me...
BRING ME THEIR HEADS!

I see you out there.

Watching me.
Watching my glorious pipeline.
Inching closer to the beast.
Whose belly will fill with Nitro and who will tear you to shreds.
Mettle while you can.
You will not stop me.
I have been assured of this by a wise friend...
