In the season’s trailer, Agent Jones gets a call from the higher authority about the ‘Zero Point‘ coming out in the open after the Nexus War. In order to prevent people from escaping, Jonesy needs to go down there.

Jonesy has reached out to and recruited the best bounty hunters from across the universe to help him on this mission. The Season 5 Battle Pass trailer from Fortnite gives a brief introduction and look of all the characters arriving. It is now up to the players to don these looks, pick up weapons, and help the agent protect Point Zero.
