Fortnite Loot Lake Rune Season 8 Live Event Time and More
By Nicholas Barth ·
The attention of the Fortnite community is currently focused on what time the possible Loot Lake Rune Season 8 live event will be taking place.
The v8.40 update for Fortnite Battle Royale Season 8 has sprouted a brand new mystery for the community to uncover with Epic Games completely changing the location of Loot Lake in order to reveal what appears to be some sort of Alien space ship or possibly vault. This reveal of the Loot Lake and the appearance of a mysterious rune has led the Fortnite community to believe that one of Epic Games' signature live in-game events for the battle royale game is on the horizon for Season 8 and will take place at a time in the near future.
Fortnite Loot Lake Rune Season 8 Live Event Time
While the exact time that the possible Fortnite Loot Lake rune Season 8 live event may be taking place is currently unknown, a time in the near future is most likely the case if the mysterious Loot Lake rune and metallic item are indeed the main components of an upcoming live event for Season 8. With this current period of content in its 8th week, it would not be surprising to see that the Fortnite Loot Lake rune Season 8 live event take place at the time where the battle royale title transitions from this current period of content to the next.
Fortnite Loot Lake Rune Season 8 Live Event Details
Even though major details regarding the true purpose of the possible Fortnite Season 8 live event are scarce currently, the community has been able to gather together some information about what could be the next major spectacle from Epic Games.
According to a report by Shacknews, a large metallic object that contained a rune on its top made its debut in the battle royale title on Friday, April 19th. The rune on top of the floating metal object is of the same nature of the one located at Loot Lake currently. However, it is blue compared to the other rune's orange color. This mysterious object that is likely tied to the possible Fortnite rune Season 8 live event has been heading west on a path that is located south of Loot Lake.
This object reportedly has a health pool of 10,000,000 and continues to move whenever it is damaged and in the process gains more health.
Update: It now has 100 million HP. Every time it moves, it seems to be gaining more HP. https://t.co/vaHAFzwnV1

According to leaker HYPEX, the rune is currently moving on a similar path that the Cube moved on across the map in the game's past.
The current Runes path is the same as the old Cube path ?
