Rocket Launch
Throughout June 2018, it had been teased that the rocket would eventually be launched by the character known as The Visitor, a skin that could be unlocked by doing the weekly challenges in the game. On 2018-06-29, it was stated that one time event would take place the next day at 6:30 PM UTC. A video of the rocket launch can be found by clicking here. During the rocket launch, audio was played while the rocket was in the sky, in the game files, the same audio was found in two different files, Audio #1 and Audio #2. Once the audio was shown under a spectrogram, information was found.
Audio #1 showed the skulls that were present on the TV screens around the map prior to the rocket launch event. Audio #2 shows two sets of numbers that decode to four different coordinates on the game's map. Decoding the left set of numbers as ASCII values, and the right set of numbers as binary, you get the following translation:
066 - B, 0b0110 - 6 072 - H, 0b1001 - 9 073 - I, 0b1000 - 8 073 - I, 0b1001 - 9
The coordinates B6, H9, I8, I9, are all speculated to be locations related to a leaked game mode that will take place at the end of Season 4.
Soon after the rocket had caused the large rift that had appeared in the sky, smaller rifts had started to appear in different locations around the map, taking or spawning new items. The current list of locations where rifts had appeared are listed below:
Lonely Lodge (J4) - Taking the Lonely Lodge sign Motel (D2) - Taking the Motel sign Tomato Town (G4) - Taking the tomato on the building Retail Row (H6) - Taking the NOMS sign Greasy Grove (C7/B7) - Taking the Durr Burger on the building Mountain East of Snobby Shores (B6) - Placed an anchor
It had been speculated that these rifts were teasing new locations for Season 5.
