8. Rocket Launch (S4)
After the meteor crashed into the map in Season 3, players soon discovered that a mysterious being had been inside and had escaped over the course of Season 4.
A superhero house was built on the east side of the map, while a villain’s lair could be found on a mountain near Snobby Shores with a rocket silo inside, ready to launch.
When the event actually started, the rocket launched into the sky, before The Visitor showed up and managed to push it through various cracks in time and space, which we’d eventually learn to call Rifts.
Just as the rocket began careering towards everyone’s beloved Tilted Towers, The Visitor managed to force it through another Rift, reappearing by Loot Lake and blasting into the sky.
This whole thing introduced Rifts to the gameplay, and the event as a whole had the community come together to try and figure out exactly what was going to happen. Would superheroes appear out of nowhere to save the day from the villain’s rocket? Nobody knew!
Still, while Rifts were a pretty huge game-changer when it came to traversal in Fortnite, it’s by no means the most exciting addition to the game.
