Fortnite” is about life after “The Storm,” an apocalyptic event in which 98 percent of the world’s population simply vanished … only to be replaced by hordes of zombie-like Husks. After stumbling onto and taking command of an abandoned high-tech shelter facility, it’s up to you to take charge of a group of brave heroes as they fight back against The Storm. Under your guidance, these heroes will gather precious resources, rescue survivors, and build a refuge from the lumbering armies of the undead. Along the way, you might just discover the source of The Storm and save all humanity in the process. The separate free to play multiplayer mode Battle Royale is the game society plays. It’s you versus 99 other people that all have the same goal… Survive. You start off in a flying bus that travels in a straight line over the game’s environment. You have up until the bus reaches the end of the map to jump off and land in a town, farm, maze, etc., using a hang glider. Once you land, your job is to gather as many materials, weapons first aid/ armor kits that are hidden around the entire game. Of course if you come across another another survivor, you either kill or become killed. As you’re running around the game trying to find the best combination of guns and materials, the Eye of The Storm gets smaller and smaller. The Eye works as a boundary where players cannot play outside of. If you are caught on the outside of the Eye, you will slowly begin to die. This process repeats until there is only one survivor.
