One of the first sightings of a meteor making impact to the map of Fortnite came from community member Fire Breather on Twitter where they posted a video showing multiple flaming projectiles from the sky land right near them during a match today. With Epic Games revealing the slogan "Brace for Impact" in the Season 4 teaser today, it looks as though the developer was giving players an early warning to watch out for the meteors landing today.
Another video showing off the beginning of what looks to be a game changing event on the horizon came from Fortnite community member KaiserCrowz who posted their experience seeing a meteor land on the map on the popular battle royale game's official subreddit.
A comet just hit my game! What is this guys?! from r/FortNiteBR
It remains unclear if players receive any damage from the falling debris coming from the comet in the sky, but it would be highly advisable to do your best to avoid getting hit by one of these flaming meteors as it could ruin your quest of securing a victory royale.
From the footage posted in the community currently, it does not seems that the meteors cause any destruction to the environment that they impact besides structures that players can destroy themselves, so players will have to wait until the eventual impact of the comet or perhaps larger meteors for any game altering destruction that will change the map of Fortnite for the foreseeable future.
With Season 3 of Fortnite coming to a close, Epic Games is going all out in their lead up to the beginning of Season 4, and the upcoming season looks to be the most ambitious one ever created.
