For as long as Fortnite has been keeping players entertained with its various collaborations, engaging gameplay, and various modes, there is one question in players’ minds that has never been answered: Who are they thanking when parachuting out of the battle bus into the island?
It’s the single biggest mystery in the game that has haunted players for years. While there are many theories for the driver’s identity, with Donald Mustard, the creative mind behind the game no longer with the company, it looks like this particular mystery will remain unsolved.
Since the question has been around since the game’s release, the community has been busy speculating with their tin foil hats, and several theories have emerged. One of the most popular theories links the Battle Bus driver to Fortnite: Save the World, the original mode of the game.
This theory suggests that Lars, a character from the mode, could be the one behind the wheel. This character is a well-known figure from the cooperative PvE experience, and his connection to the game’s universe has led many to speculate about a potential crossover.
However, another theory suggests that the Battle Bus is self-driven. This theory comes from the strange robotic-like look and function of the bus as it consistently flies with no regard for when or where players are dropped.
While this may sound far-fetched, it does add an intriguing layer of mystery to the bus and what might be driving it. Since every theory has some flaw or doesn’t fit the bill, players have been thinking about who could give them the concrete answer.
The logical answer would be the creative mind behind the game: Donald Mustard. However, with him announcing his retirement from Epic Games on September 8th, 2023, it seems the definitive explanation behind the Battle Bus driver is something fans may never get.
As Fortnite continues to evolve, its future direction has made quite a buzz among the community. The developers have been delivering various new modes for players to enjoy. From the Creative mode to different cooperative experiences, the game has clearly evolved beyond just a battle royale.
Though the mystery of the Battle Bus driver might never be solved, the game has enough content to shift players’ focus to new challenges, mechanics, and creative content that keep them engaged. Additionally, various collaborations keep introducing fresh new skins and gameplay experiences.
Players are always on their toes as Epic continues to bring new updates and content. Whether it’s the introduction of new gameplay mechanics, another groundbreaking crossover event with some IPs, or even some surprise updates, the content is seemingly endless.
In the end, whether the theories about the Battle bus driver are ever confirmed or not, the legend will likely continue to live on in the hearts and minds of the Fortnite community as they enjoy all the new content.
