Fortnite: New Weather System; Tornadoes & Lightning!

BY JC Paredes • 4 years AGO • 2 MIN READ

Even though we are not dealing with a new edition, in this case, Epic Games has opted to incorporate the expected tornadoes and lightning bolts that were seen in the promotional teaser. The weather on the island will change started yesterday, January 11, resulting in mesmerizing instances. Following that, we’ll explain how these natural occurrences work. Let’s go!

Weather System

Prepare yourself, because the weather on Fortnite’s Battle Island just got a lot crazier. Tornadoes and lightning have finally made an appearance in the game, but how do they function? It’s a question that many players are undoubtedly wondering. We already have a firm grasp on the role that these weather events play (beyond showing off with impressive effects, as we can see in the video attached by Epic Games itself).

Tornadoes + Lightning Bolts

Rather than being a negative factor, these new conditions provide all gamers with extra benefits and mobility. So, it will be up to each individual to decide whether or not to take advantage of them. They are, of course, yet another alternative for getting around the island.

  • TORNADOES: Capable of making you “fly”. We can zoom in and use the whirlpool to drift around it if we detect one developing. If we stay in this position for long enough, the tornado will fling us away, but there will be no damage from the landing.
    • Tornado Week will begin on the 17th of January (15:00 CET). During this period there is a greater chance that you will encounter tornadoes all over the game island!
  • LIGHTNING BOLTS: Appear as dark clouds in the sky, delivering minor damage and sparking a fire in the region as they fall. It also grants a bolt that gives gamers a temporary speed boost. You can improve your chances of being struck by lightning by jumping into a body of water or going to the peak under the dark cloud (but bear in mind that they do not strike the same place twice).

Since March 2021, I've worn two hats at Spiel Times: a writer and a Managing Editor. In my writing role, I've earned recognition from Wikipedia and Nev Schulman (Catfish TV Show host) for my insightful analysis and engaging narrative style. I'm passionate about all things gaming, with a keen eye for detail and a knack for uncovering hidden secrets within games. My gaming journey began at a young age, captivated by titles like Resident Evil and Tomb Raider. Today, I enjoy exploring open-world RPGs and MMORPGs, consumed by their lore and crafting theories about their narratives. I'm also drawn to the suspenseful atmosphere of horror games and the intricate narratives of crime-themed titles, bringing a unique perspective to my writing. Beyond gaming, I have a fascination with anything unexplained and chilling, a passion that often spills over into my exploration of horror games. When I'm not engrossed in a virtual world, you can find me curled up and spending time with my adorable doggy sidekick, Teemo. As Managing Editor, I'm committed to fostering a collaborative and supportive environment for our writing team. I communicate openly with my team members, addressing any content-related issues and providing guidance to help them excel.
