    What happened during Fortnite's The Device event?

    Fortnite's Device event went missing and disappeared, and what a roller coaster it was. As always, it all started with players loading into games and watching the timer count down, and when that counter hit zero, nothing happened at first. Shortly after, tall pylons extend up and out of the water surrounding The Agency. After they were all extended out of the water, the Doomsday Device emerged from the ruins of The Agency, sending interconnecting beams of energy to each pylon.



    What happened next was pretty amazing, as the energy beams pushed towards the storm dome, pushing it back across the island. Then some weird stuff as players were teleported to a weird office, with some top secret files on the table in front of them. Voices could be heard through the walls, but it was impossible to hear what they said.

    It seemed like everything had been done and dusted off, but the storm came back with a vengeance. Once again, the pylons fired energy into the storm dome, knocking it back, and players were once again teleported to a strange dimension. This time, Jonezy, fully dressed in costume, entered the room and was clearly shocked to see the player. "Wait, can you hear us?" he asked before players were once again placed back in the game world where something had drastically changed.

    The storm was gone, replaced instead by a towering wall of water on all sides. If you jump into a game right now, you'll be able to witness it for yourself, as the storm is over and only the huge wall of water remains. So it looks like the players were right and the map is now somewhat flooded. The wall of water is held back by the timer, as is the storm, but when it catches you, you'll need to try and swim quickly to safety.



    It's all gearing up for what's to come in Season 3, and players are now more excited than ever to witness the changes coming to the game this week.


    As for what all of this means, there are already plenty of theories doing the rounds. Our theory is that the world of Fortnite is about to rely on the idea of โ€‹โ€‹a multidimensional existence, where different versions of the universe exist side by side, and Midas' device has connected our reality to a news. That's probably way off the mark, but it's certainly fun to speculate.
