Fortnite‘s done it again with one of their live events. The battle royale kicked off Chapter 2 Season 3 by unveiling a thing they’ve referred to as The Device. As some leakers predicted a number of weeks again, many of the map is getting plunged underwater after a battle between Fortnite’s blue storm and a few large doomsday machine managed by The Agency. Get yer flippers prepared as a result of the storm is now lav—er sorry, water.
When the in game countdown clock for the occasion hit zero, gamers noticed 5 large pylons come out of the bottom round The Agency. Right on the middle, a pillar rose out of the bottom with what seems to be like a kind of plasma ball toys on prime. After pulling energy from its 5 supporting pillars, Sauron’s eye shoots out a bunch of purple lightning to do battle in opposition to Fortnite’s round blue storm.
The storm and The Device push backwards and forwards like a battle between Super Saiyans whereas gamers are all levitating within the air. For a second it seems to be just like the storm is defeated, leaving Fortnite’s map in a blissful, sunshine and storm-free existence. But then it crashes again and as an alternative of the same old storm, Fortnite’s map now seems to be like a giant ol’ sinkhole.
If you need to see the occasion with out somebody yelling via it, right here’s a participant who uploaded a seize of the proceedings. Ta, Faiz.
For now, you’ll exit the battle bus into the middle of an enormous wall of water. If you get plucky and bounce out of bounds, you’ll end up swimming round, nonetheless taking harm as you usually would exterior the playable space.
Partway via the occasion, gamers additionally gave the impression to be teleported into your stereotypical workplace stuffed with white partitions and submitting cupboards. That blonde man Jonesy, considered one of Fortnite’s default characters, is there speaking on the telephone about stabilizing the storm in a enterprise bloke go well with and tie. I’m certain that revelation means one thing to these of you who know a factor or two about Fortnite lore.
Epic Games haven’t printed their official phrase on the occasion simply but, however I think about you’ll discover it over on their website earlier than too lengthy.
