The thriller of the enormous bouncy dice that when rolled throughout Fortnite‘s plains is solved, just in time for the battle royale mega-hit’s subsequent season of costumes, reside occasions and gunshootery, starting on September 27th. Plus, there’s a 400% match XP occasion operating by way of the weekend, beginning now.
It seems that the most likely magical purple block rolling throughout the land was an outsized little bit of jelly [jello -USA Ed.] focus. After wobbling into Loot Lake, it dissolved and the big mid-map physique of water was transformed into the world’s largest and tastiest bouncy fortress. Below, a video of the lake’s transformation captured and examined reside by YouTuber “I AM WILDCAT”.
Before, you’d take injury when you shot the dice and regain shields when you lurked round close to it. Now, solely bounciness stays, however throughout a way more entertaining scale. Water in Fortnite isn’t fascinating, however a whole bouncy battlefield crackling with runic magic is. Not solely does it make you a predictable however tough goal to hit, however it’s additionally a floor you’ll be able to fall onto from an important peak (say, a lately rocketed tower) and survive. Vehicles may also be ridden throughout the floor to rack up huge stunt combos. I’m kinda hoping the bouncy lake stays that approach endlessly now.
I’m not even positive if Fortnite seasons have ‘themes’ anymore after the superhero-themed season four ended with actuality itself getting sucker-punched by an interdimensional spacecraft. That’s most likely for the very best, as long as Fortnite retains this anything-goes angle going, we get extra stuff just like the Valkyrie pores and skin and matching Frostwing glider. Yes, they appear like they’ve wandered in out of World Of Warcraft, however not each game has to make sense. Especially not one the place individuals journey a flying bus right into a hybrid architectural improv showcase and last-man-standing deathmatch.
