The Doomsday event in Fortnite - Timeline explained
#1: When Fortnite Chapter 2, Season 2 began, we were introduced to "The Agency" and a few agents whose sole job was to protect the Battle Royale island from unforeseen threats.
#2: Eventually, the members of the Agency discovered two factions in the island: "Ghost and "Shadow" fighting each other. The Agency disbanded the original team so that it could join whichever faction they believed in.
#3: The storyline moved forward and Shadow faction quickly came on top, taking over multiple POI's around the map, with the exception of 'The Agency', which is still under Midas' control.
#4:This is where Midas forged a plan to take back control of the Battle Royale island and built a machine that we currently know as Doomsday device.
From this point on, most of the story in Fortnite is based on various leaks and speculations.
The Fortnite Season 3 leaks that were brought to light suggest that an underwater theme is headed our way after the Battle Royale island meets the fate of Midas' Doomsday device.
Popular Fortnite data leaker, FortTory, tweeted various stages of the Doomsday device in Fortnite that shows the device expanding its powerfield.
Would the device end up destroying the entire Fortnite map or just parts of it? Would it let the water around the island pour in? Could the Doomsday device in Fortnite be a sophisticated weather machine designed to unleash floodstorm and hurricanes? These are questions that could be answered in the days to come as the Fortnite story moves ahead.
