7. Butterfly Event (S6)
The Butterfly event was almost a follow-up to the Cube event that took place in the season before it. After good ol’ Kevin (the Cube, of course) had made its way to Loot Lake following his visiting of the various Corrupted Areas on the map, the floating island appeared above it and a beam of light shot into the sky.
The Cube leaked and dripped into the whirlpool beneath the floating island, and once empty, began spinning and let off a blinding white light.
All players were transported to the ‘In-between,’ an incredibly white and ‘clean’-looking area in which they could float around. After spending a bit of time here, a rift in the shape of a butterfly flapped its way over to each individual player.
Upon touching the butterfly with their finger, players were transported back to the island, with Loot Lake now sporting a new look (and plenty more chests).
The Butterfly event was impressive for a number of reasons. Not only was it the first time that Epic Games had managed to pull players in thousands of games at the same time, into the ‘In-Between,’ implement a change to the map as substantial as Loot Lake’s fresh new look, and then throw everyone back into the world, it was also quite visually pleasing to experience first-hand.
