Fortnite Jerky Event Leaked: Everything We Know So Far
By Nathan Fusco
The Fortnite Jerky event was leaked online, but not much information was gathered. Epic Games should be pushing out a new event soon, since the company extended Chapter 2 Season 2, and hashtags RIPFornite have been trending lately. It's been a rather stale time for Fortnite which isn't surprising since the season is coming to an end, and the current state of the world right now.
With the pandemic taking place, Epic Games is unsurprisingly behind schedule, but that doesn't stop gamers from going to the next big thing. Since Valorant is what everyone is talking about, Fortnite needs something new. We know a new infection style LTM is coming to the game, but we need a big event. That's where notorious Fortnite leaker Lucas7yoshi comes in handy.

An event currently just called "Jerky" is in the works, relavant to previous tweet
The playlist used for, the end, marshmello, etc was modified with the name "Jerky"
"There's no goal score before the event. Hang out and have fun before the event starts."

It's most likely going to be based on the end of Season 2 of Chapter 2, and will probably be another map-wide event. Based on the "hang out and have fun before the event starts," players will be able to log in and watch it live without worry of being shot by another player.
Other data mined information shows about a "skyjerk" meaning something could shake the world or sky. Maybe another explosion of some sort, or an ending between the two different spy factions. We've seen a lot of crazy things in Fortnite, so nothing is too far outside of the box. Whatever it ends up being, it needs to come quickly as more and more gamers leave Fortnite for something else.
