As with the majority of players who were watching the event unfold live, Courage and Cloak were completely distraught as they thought the pod that had blasted off from the rocket was in fact going to destroy the infamous location of Tilted Towers. However, what looked to be the end of Tilted Towers was just a fake-out by Epic Games that provided plenty of laughs for the viewers of Courage and Cloak.
While the affects of the aftermath from the rocket launch for the future of the battle royale game heading into Season 5 are unknown at this time, it is clear that the second major landscape altering event of Season for Fortnite was a success for Epic Games in the eyes of the community, as it caused some classic reactions from the likes of Courage, Ninja, and many others.
