Limbo: restoring Fortnite Save the World OT6.5 missions

Limbo restores mission play in the 2016 Fortnite Save the World OT6.5 client using an injected game-server DLL and a separate backend. Its development notes describe UE 4.12 name and object table discovery, ProcessEvent tracing, executable analysis and hooks used to rebuild mission behavior. The author reports up to four-player cooperative play, while some missions and enemy behaviors remain incomplete.
