Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 3, known as Wrecked, is coming close to an end, and we are heading toward the live event. Many players are eager to know exactly when the Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 3 live event will begin and how to watch it.
In case you weren’t aware, a Fortnite live event is a one-time occurrence that gives a 3d overview of the game’s storyline typically at the end of the season.
Thankfully, the countdown for the Chapter 5 Season 3 live event has been initiated and here are all the details that you must know.
What happened during the Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 3 live event?
The Fortnite Chapter 5, Season 3 live event kicked off with the destruction of Redline Rig. The destruction was caused by an overload of Nitro inside the pipeline connecting Brutal Beachhead and Redline Rig.
Eventually, it was revealed that Dr. Doom was behind this chaos, having been surveying the island for some time. However, he has now betrayed Megalodon and hijacked the Leviathan’s plan to expose Pandora’s Box. Dr. Doom’s plan is to threaten Fortnite Island, turning it into another battleground for Marvel characters as they try to stop this new villain.
Can you watch the live event again?
Unfortunately, the Fortnite Chapter 5, Season 3 live event was a one-time occurrence, meaning you can no longer experience it in the game. However, if you missed it and want to witness the action, you can watch a recorded clip of the event that we’ve embedded below.
When and how to watch Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 3 live event
Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 3 live event has been officially confirmed to go live on Saturday, August 10, 2024, at 2 p.m. ET. This information came to light with the release of the v30.40 update, which incorporated a live-event countdown timer right next to the Brutal Beachhead location on Fortnite Island.
In order to watch the Chapter 3 live event, players must log in at least 60 minutes before the countdown timer ends in order to avoid long matchmaking queues.
About 30 minutes before the event, Epic Games will add a special mode option in the main menu which you can join to witness the Chapter 5 Season 3 live event.
In case you are stuck at the game’s loading screen or can’t join the event for any reason, we recommend watching popular Fortnite streamers such as Ninja, NickEh30, and SypherPK to not miss the action.
All Chapter 5 Season 3 live event leaks
While specific details about the event are still under wraps, several prominent leaks suggest the return of the iconic Pandora Box. If you’re new to the game, it’s a giant golden chest held by a massive Titan hand that debuted back in Chapter 5, Season 2.
However, the Pandora Box will be found at Brutal Beachhead instead of Ruined Reels once the Fortnite Chapter 5, Season 3 live event kicks off. Make sure you’re on time and at the correct location to witness the live action.
