The bottom line is that the map will likely change a bit after the event and there will be some sort of connection to the upcoming fourth season.

This map image of the FortniteLeaks subreddit implies that there will be a small map change after the event. The map change mainly focuses on Redline Rig, which now has a kind of explosive structure.

Another data miner, McMistrzYT on X (formerly Twitter)has rendered the 3D version of the card to show that the explosive item is Pandora’s Box!
