Fortnite's History of Easter Eggs

welcome to the history of fortnite easter eggs it's time we walk down memory lane and look through the years of fortnite [Music] so to start off the list of easter eggs from 2017 we have one of the most iconic easter eggs in fortnite's history let me introduce you to truckasaurus a statue that has been on the chapter one island for a long time and you can even find him in the waters of the chapter two island to this day and 2017 was also the year that brought us the iconic default dance while the dance itself is a meme it's actually an easter egg based on the famous poison dance from scrubs the actor later complained about epic apparently stealing the dance during a festival but nothing ever came of it and for an extremely rare easter egg that's still around to this day we have the secret gnome in the wall no one knows the actual odds of this happening as some say it's 100 1 in 5 000 or even one in a million regardless you basically have a super small chance of getting a gnome stuck inside of your brick walls it still happens in chapter 2 and it's been around for years so look out every time you place a brick wall you might just see a gnome and speaking of things you can still find today there are a ton of posts or easter eggs littered around the map that originated in 2017 these include references to epic's older games such as unreal tournament and infinity blade yeah that infinity blade you can still find these over at raven's house on the map right now although not all easter eggs survived for long back in season 1 the television sets around the island were actually able to be interacted with if he did so they would shake and a weird alien would be shown dancing on the screen this was actually from save the world and was an alien that stole bluego from people in the mode and to finish off the season one easter eggs there is a truck over on the edge of the island hanging for its life importantly on the truck there was a chest but it was super risky to loot this was a reference to the italian job where at the end of the film the robbers have to choose whether to get their gold from their hanging bus and risk their lives or get out safely but the easter eggs get well more interesting and exciting as fortnite moves too [Music] with 2018 came the rise of leakers and data mining and they have been essential to the game ever since even epic noticed that people were going through the game's files so they actually left a hidden message in them for all of us to enjoy if you aimed at the season 3 meteor in the sky then it would play a sound and if you went to the files and opened the sound as a spectrograph it would show this a classic prank from epic and as epic jokes evolved so did its on the nose parodies in season three and four we got a handful of skins that were blatant references to pop culture leviathan is based on minion from megamind while some other skins actually became real in the future rustlord was based on starlord who is now an actual crossover skin and the reaper was based on well obviously john wick who we can also now play as pretty cool to see how fortnite has progressed but we also now have raptors in fortnite and it's been a long time coming if you look back to this old season 4 loading screen this was an awesome parody of the famous raptor scene from obviously jurassic park and the easter eggs continue with season 4 even making their way into the emote scene if you've seen the groove jam emote you'll probably recognize it as belonging to the dance from napoleon dynamite and moving to season five fortnite decided to continue with its small gags on the island it acknowledged its own community with one of the coolest easter eggs to date the museal gravestone for one of fortnite's most popular clips musilk attempted to save a player named choppadoodle from being stranded in the desert biome of chapter one although his rescue attempt it kind of failed miserably when he hit chop a doodle off the map with a golf cart in the same spot epic added a tombstone and bouncy tires to commemorate the clip it was an awesome little easter egg although not all easter eggs are joyful because season 5 also included a pennywise easter egg all around the map above drains epic added red balloons to hint at an upcoming it crossover but unfortunately it was cancelled at the last minute and that's where we advance to the more complex easter eggs during [Music] 2019 was when epic really started embracing the easter eggs and we had some awesome references that people loved it began with season six and seven which included one of the most hated weapons in history the infinity blade and while it sucked it was mostly a nod to epic's old game infinity blade yeah not so hidden of an easter egg although throughout season seven there were definitely more secret ones with the getaway ltm the loading screen showed all four versions of the skin walking down the road and while this is actually a nod to a clockwork orange a very rated r movie but for a less intense movie there's an even better reference over on season seven's plane glider and underneath it it has my name dev written on it oh man that was a really cringe impersonation but play the actual clip okay when he talking my name is jeff the movie references didn't stop there though as the golf flap emote was an awesome reference to a film named men at work the emotes of course continue with krabby being the crab rave work it being from a sports dance battle and extraterrestrial coming from howard the alien but as fortnite moved to season nine more easter eggs came with it over at mega mall a store named scoops ahoy was included and fans of stranger things of course recognized this from the show in the trailer for the season itself a blimp could be seen saying the future is yours and this was obviously a direct parody of scarface which says the world is yours and then the futuristic theme eventually led us to season x and then chapter two in chapter two season one we receive one of the most popular easter eggs that's still in the game to this day over at steamy stacks epic added a pink donut over on one of the control panels everyone knows this is an awesome reference to homer simpson who eats donuts while working at the springfield power plant and that led us to the next year while it might not have been the best year for us it was a great year for easter eggs and of course i'm talking about as chapter two season one continued into the new year more easter eggs appeared on the map over at weeping woods you were now able to spot a triceratops playground toy which is a direct reference to a dinosaur from save the world's pvp mode in 2015. not many people have spotted that one and neither would they have noticed the easter egg over at the west cliff top house a red car was found at the start of the season on a jack stand and with updates throughout season one people noticed that this car went straight through the window and off of the cliff of course this was actually a scene from ferris bueller's day off where cameron kicks the ferrari straight through the window out of the house then as chapter 2 season 2 rolled around so did new pois and while most of those places are gone today one still remains the shark ironically the shark itself is the easter egg though and if you're wondering why it's because the entire poi is actually from another one of epic's games during season 2 they released a mobile game named spy jinx and this included a tropical island with a stone shark mansion on it look a little familiar season two also included some insane foreshadowing as midas yapiya before it was taken over by deadpool was actually named marigold over three seasons later marigold the female midas came to the item shop kinda crazy looking at it as season three launched epic added a new easter egg to steamy stacks hidden all the way in a secret basement you could find part of the algorithm from tennis paired with this really ominous music nothing ever came at this but we did have a riff that teased us about thor's arrival on the island this was in the captain america trailer and oh boy we had no idea what to expect of course he came in season 4 and so did many other easter eggs to do with marvel for example thor's hammer pickaxe is actually locked just to his skin much like the other marvel items from that season however the wording specifically says that it's locked to anyone who could wield the hammer and of course that includes captain america as we learned in avengers endgame because of this epic actually lets you use the pickaxe with the cap skin it's pretty awesome they also brought in a new starter island in the form of the helicarrier and this was actually a one-to-one recreation of the helicarrier from the films which obviously had to include an eyepatch easter egg referencing nick fury but away from marvel and into one of the most storyline filled seasons to date we headed full speed into with chapter 2 season 5 we got a terrifying amount of crossovers back to back and one of them included the mandalorian inside the battle pass with his arrival mando immediately took to work on a specific bounty over at hunter's haven you can find this guy frozen and carbonite we also received a new variant for codename elf and while it looked awesome at first glance it was even cooler knowing that it was based on a stop-motion movie called rudolph the red-nosed reindeer the star wars easter eggs continued too as mando's poi dropped late into the season in the back room of this place you could find a weird looking instrument that you could even interact with and if you press the button on it it would play the cantina music from star wars it was seriously cool while the marigold yacht name wasn't even foreshadowing epic put the icing on the cake with a secret battle fast loading screen that literally showed a female midas in it we eventually got her at the end of the season and then we got to the present day here we are in chapter 2 season 6 where the battle pass has some awesome secrets lara croft has a special variant where she is completely gold while this may seem pretty random and a lot of other skins have gold variants it's actually a really cool easter egg and a nod to the first ever tomb raider game in that game there's a level where you could find the statue of king midas and you could actually use his hand to turn items into gold well in the game if you tread too far and step on the hand lara croft turns entirely into gold herself and this is an awesome skin version of that it's even better when you bear the fact that midas is also in fortnite and for the final notable easter egg we have the foundation's own design if you thought his shoulder vent was kind of weird it's because it's actually based on his voice actor dwayne the rock johnson it's not confirmed that the rock voices him but it's extremely likely at this point his design is based on the rock's famous shoulder tattoo and a side by side comparison shows an eerie similarity and that's the entire history of fortnite's most popular easter eggs i hope you guys enjoyed the video if you want to see another history of fortnite something glitches maybe let me know down in the comments below but this has been tommy thanks so
