Fortnite the Device event: the storm becomes a giant wave

Fortnite the Device event: the storm becomes a giant wave

Today's big post-event surprise: Fortnite's usual purple storm has become a gigantic tsunami, ready to swallow everything in its path.

Fortnite the Device event: the storm becomes a giant wave

The Fortnite Device event is over and it isn't the map itself that is changed, but the storm surrounding it. The Midas machine first pushed back the limits of the old violet storm, then after several flashes of light, a giant tsunami appeared, instead of the usual storm...

This wave retains the dangerousness of the storm: you can swim in it, but you'll lose your life at regular intervals.

Just like the storm, the wave moves forward as the game progresses, at the whim of the usual timers.

Players have been able to observe huge sharks swimming peacefully inside the wall of water. The theory of the sharks present in Season 3 is on the right track!

If you're a World of Warcraft player, the similarity with Nazjatar mustn't have escaped you. Here too a huge tsunami overlooks territory that players can walk through.

It remains to be seen what Epic Games is preparing for Wednesday, the beginning day of Chapter 2 Season 3. The dataminers were rather unanimous on the fact that the whole map was going to be flooded. We could expect a "disruption" of the wave, which would crash and drown Apollo Island...

Watch or rewatch the Device event

Many players were unable to take advantage of the Device event due to server problems. Luckily, some streamers and dataminers recorded the whole scene.
