Klombos in Fortnite are now completely dead

The phrase "Klombos in Fortnite are now completely dead" causes great sorrow and anguish to players. These lovable creatures were a star-studded attraction in-game during Chapter 3 Season 1. They were first showcased in the trailer and were later added to the game after the update v19.10 went live.

However, by the time Chapter 3 Season 3 began, the only traces of these enigmatic creatures were bones scattered on the island. It would seem that Klombos went extinct during the war between The Imagined Order and The Seven.

While there's no evidence to prove that the IO were explicitly responsible for this, their indiscriminate bombing of the island is proof enough. However, since Klombos could theoretically dig and tunnel underground, it's a mystery how they perished during the war.

Why did the Fortnite community love Klombos?

Although they didn't do much or add value in terms of gameplay, Klombos were loved by all. At times, players used their blowholes to gain mobility and find items/weapons. However, for the most part, they were left to their own devices and functioned like giant vacuum cleaners. Anything that came in their path was suctioned up and digested.

Unlike other wildlife, the only time they would turn aggressive is if they were attacked or shot at. Suffice to say, those who were around at the time can vouch for the fact that shooting a Klombo was not the best idea. For the most part, most players would feed these creatures Klomberries to watch them make funny faces.

In fact, the Fortnite community as a whole fed Klombos just about anything they could find. This includes items such as weapons, consumables, ammo, and even Victory Crowns.

While they didn't really do much after consuming the items, the creatures did, at times, shoot things out of their blowholes, which was entertaining to watch. Nevertheless, those days are now far gone.

Will Epic Games add Klombos back to Fortnite in the future?

When the Fortnite update v23.00 went live, Klombos were permanently removed from the game's files and vaulted. It's safe to say that they won't be added back anytime soon. With the old island destroyed and Chapter 4 Season 1 set in a different reality, no Klombos exist on this island.

Looking at things from a lore-oriented perspective, even their bones have now turned to dust and are drifting among the stars. While they do exist in the files, they no longer exist in any shape or form in the Metaverse or at least in Reality Zero. Given the infinite number of realities that exist, they must be present elsewhere.

With the storyline moving past Fortnite Chapter 3 at an incredible pace, it's highly unlikely that Epic Games will add them back to the game. With developers frequently adding new mechanics and assets, there's no room to accommodate Klombos in-game.

When all is said and done, these creatures will live on in the memories of fans and through the numerous pictures that they share on social media.
