Players suspect that Bunker Jonesy has some news about the last event of the season that could cause major catastrophes. In fact, if a player uses the Devourer skin while talking to Bunker Jonesy, he gives a specific message to the player.

“I thought you’d be bigger”

This is an obvious nod to the character that inspired the skin. The skin gained its inspiration from the Polar Peak monster that remained under the Polar Peak castle. It finally came out in Season 8 and fought the Giant Robot with the Robot winning the fight. Players suspect the beast could return for another battle or it could have some link with the Zero Point Orb.

Many players believe that as Deadfire is the nearest character to the Zero Point Orb, he might be warning about it. The character has talked about the Orb the entire season, and he might warn about something only he has seen. It would be fun to see how the season progresses to the impending finale on March 15, but Epic Games has something huge in store.
