The plot and characters of the 4th season of Fortnite

At the end of season 3, the inhabitants of the Fortnite universe saw a bright spot in the sky. It turned out to be a meteorite. A large stone that fell from the sky caused damage to all locations. Dusty Depo set up a research station because an unidentified object was found inside the meteor.

A meteor destroyed a movie set where a superhero movie was filmed. A wing of the prison was also damaged, as a result of which dangerous criminals and insidious villains got free. Carbide calls on all his friends to protect locations from thieves and bandits.

Meanwhile, the work of the research institute ends. An empty space capsule is discovered inside the meteor.

The alien managed to escape from the scientists and began to create faults. His goal is to push the Fortnite universe with his world.

Interesting novelties of the 4th season of the game

For gamers, new interesting features have been introduced:
