Season 5 was also one of the most interesting seasons in terms of the game’s lore.

Fortnite collided with reality at the start of Season 5, as teasers starting popping-up IRL.

Drift, the main Battle Pass character, was sucked into the world of the game as the Durr Burger head was spotted in the California desert.

The season ended as Kevin rolled his way across the map, eventually melting into Loot Lake.

Kevin’s journey was the catalyst for Season 6, as it lifted the Loot Lake island into the air and brought it all across the map.

For a lot of Fortnite players, Season 5 was the best time to play the game. It’s certainly a fond memory to look back on in 2021.
