One day in Fortnite Battle Royale, 98% of Earth’s population suddenly disappeared. And the remaining population found the skies covered in dense clouds, creating chao-tic storms that dropped husks, humanoid zombie-like creatures, that attacked the living.
The survivors found ways to construct “storm shields”, a field that cleared the storm clouds from overhead and reduced attacks, and used these to set up survivor bases across the globe.
READY, SET: Save the planet
The player is a commander of one of these bases, charged with going out of the storm shield to find resources, survivors, and other allies to help expand their storm shield and find a way to return Earth to its normal state.
