It has been a very interesting day in the world of Fortnite Battle Royale on Saturday, May 4th. The highly anticipated Loot Lake unvaulting live event took place, and it saw the infamous Drum Gun win the unvaulted vote from the community and be added back into the popular battle royale game. However, the return of the Drum Gun was not the only major change to come out of the Fortnite Loot Lake Unvaulting Season 8 event, as the event saw the title's volcano erupt and result in Tilted Towers, Retail Row, and a whole array of other areas get destroyed by giant fireballs in the new map update.
New Fortnite Season 8 Map Update Destroyed Tilted Towers
With Tilted Towers having been a target of speculation regarding locations that Epic Games could destroy for multiple seasons now, it is very interesting to see Tilted Towers finally be destroyed by the way of the Fortnite Loot Lake Season 8 unvaulting event. It was a destructive affair, as multiple fireballs from the erupting volcano made their way to Tilted Towers and destroyed it in mere seconds with barely anything left to remember it by.
In addition to Tilted Towers being destroyed by the new Fortnite Season 8 map update, Retail Row saw a huge fireball land right in its middle and level it to almost nothing. Another fireball from the Fortnite volcano that erupted during the Loot Lake unvaulting event also landed near where Greasy Grove used to be located at.
