New Fortnite leaks hint at Junk Rifts and Mechs returning to OG Reload mode soon

According to the leaks, the Reload mode currently has the Weapon IDs for both Junk Rifts and the B.R.U.T.E. Mechs included in its files. This could be seen as a sign of Epic Games preparing these items to be reintroduced to the game soon, especially since the entire idea around the Reload mode is to bring back elements from Fortnite OG Chapter 1.

Epic Games has already enabled classic weapons like the OG Assault Rifle and the OG Heavy Shotgun in Fortnite Reload, so it's not surprising that the developers are looking to introduce other classic elements from earlier seasons to the Reload mode down the line.

Since Junk Rifts and the Mechs were released during one of the more contentious seasons in the game's history, Chapter 1 Season X, it will be interesting to see how they fit into the Reload mode. It would be especially captivating to see these items since the map for Fortnite Reload is exponentially smaller than regular Battle Royale maps, meaning players must be extra careful around items like Junk Rifts and Mechs when going for the Victory Royale.

Additionally, the reintroduction of these items can be seen as a prelude to more classic weapons returning to the mode down the line, as the Reload mode continues to receive updates in the future.
