Never mind that Ariana Grande concert. Fortnite fans are today busy mourning the lovable Bushranger, one of the game’s best-loved characters, who looks like he’s been killed off for good.
Last week’s story quest saw players aiding the anthropomorphic tree in a series of missions to raise an alien hatchling and restore peace with the invaders – all part of the game’s current UFO season storyline.
The quest appeared to end in success – until today, when Bushranger is no longer available to find on the game’s island map as an NPC, and instead there’s a small grave marked in his usual spot with some flowers.
