Fortnite 5.2 leaks expose more cowbell emote, new skins – and GRAPPLING HOOK
A zipline has also been uncovered inside the code added for the 5.2 update
FORTNITE players have a lot to look forward to in the coming weeks if the latest data-mined information is be believed.
The generally reliable data minter FNBR_Leaks has posted what he claims are the results of his investigations of the patch released today.
He revealed seven new skins, five new emotes, four new pickaxes and tantalising details of two totally new items -- the zipline and grappling hook.
Variants of the cosmetic items were also revealed independently on twitter by another data miner, TwoEpicBuddies, who also revealed a number of new gliders to go with the new skins.
New skins include the Durr Burger inspired Beef Boss, the reproductively challenged P.A.N.D.A. Team Leader, two neon-hued fitness instructors called Aerobic Assassin and Mullet Marauder and the Snow Crash inspired Whiteout and Overtaker.
He also revealed a star-filled Galaxy skin, with a note that it won't be available through the app store. While unconfirmed, it seems likely this will be available to those who play Fortnite on Android when it is released for Samsung Galaxy phones once the Note9 comes out later this month.
All of the new skins come with associated back bling, and several have gathering tools that fit the theme too.
Whiteout and Overtaker come with backpacks equipped with Samurai swords -- as one would expect for the greatest sword fighter in the world.

There is a 'More Llama Bell' Emote which re-creates Christopher Walken's madcap dancing to Blue Öyster Cult from Saturday Night Live's iconic 'More Cowbell' sketch.
Two of the other new emotes seem designed to go with Aerobic Assassin and Mullet Marauder. Both Work it Out and Pumpernickel feature moves that Mr Motivator would have been proud of.
No more detail on the zipline or grappling hook is available, save the existence of a couple of lines of code that reference their existence.
