Fortnite’s comet could possibly be a large sensible joke

Many thought that the comet, which has been hovering over the game’s map for the past few weeks, would obliterate Tilted Towers yesterday, however after servers went again on-line, Fortnite’s well-known kill-zone was nonetheless standing. To add to the confusion, extra meteorites started showing over the map final night time. Despite all of Epic’s teases, nonetheless, the entire thing might need been a drawn-out joke.

That won’t be all that shocking, because the comet first appeared on April Fool’s Day. On high of that, a post on Reddit final night time investigated the unusual noise the comet makes: should you focus in on it throughout a recreation, you may hear a faint, mysterious sound emanating from it. But when a redditor put a recording of the sound by an audio spectrograph (which produces a picture based mostly on sound), it produces a picture based mostly on Fortnite’s ‘Take the L’ emote.

The emote, which is on the market as a part of Fortnite’s Battle Pass, is frequently used as a taunt geared toward downed gamers, and Epic’s choice to make use of it as a part of the meteor is clearly deliberate. Exactly what they imply by it isn’t clear but, however it won’t bode effectively for the Tilted Towers doomsayers.
