In Fortnite: Battle Royale (PC, PS4, iOS, Android, Switch & Xbox One) a huge purple cube has recently appeared. It has been rolling through the map at regular intervals since then. However, it now also leaves runes and creates an anti-gravity field!
What happened so far: The players of Fortnite – especially the streamer Ninja, who discovered it for the first time – were quite surprised when suddenly a massive cube appeared in Fortnite at Paradise Palms on August 24.
That’s rather strange, but then the cube started to move from August 25 onwards. Every few hours, it tipped over and rolled slowly through the map.
Otherwise, the cube did nothing, other than slowly charging the shields of anyone nearby. However, if you attacked or touched it, you would be pushed away.
Cube Generates Anti-Gravity Field and Runes
News from the cube: Since August 28, 2018, the cube has been doing something more. It now creates a large, visible zone around itself where decreased gravity exists.
So, like a permanently acting Hop Rock, which existed in Season 4. The usual cube effects like shield regeneration and reflected damage still occur.
The Mysterious Cube Rune
The cube writes something: Additionally, there is another new cube effect. The cube now seems to leave strange rune symbols. At least, one can see such a glyph at the bottom of the cube.
Rune only in replay mode: Currently, the rune can only be seen when you fly into the dark interior of the cube with the drone camera in replay mode and hover down to the ground. There, one clearly recognizes the rune inscription.
What do the runes mean? The cube runes do not resemble the known Scandinavian runes, as you find them in the Viking village, among others.
Rather, the symbols appear on the cube itself, albeit much smaller. What they mean is still unknown.
According to data mining, there are supposed to be other runes that appear at certain times. In total, there are supposed to be 7 runes.
More info to come: What the runes and the cube all mean and could achieve will be discussed later in a separate article.
In the meantime, you can enjoy a huge super jump zone around the cube!
