In Fortnite: Battle Royale players have been dancing all night. A new rune from the end event of Season 8 has appeared and demanded dance moves. It probably got them faster than expected.
What are the runes about? Since the Easter weekend, strange runes have been appearing in Fortnite regularly. Each one activates a segment in the massive bunker hatch at Loot Lake when certain actions are performed.
The catch: It’s not enough for one player to do this; tens of thousands of players must work together globally in many matches to activate the runes.
- For example, Rune 1 had to be beaten by masses of players until it floated from Lucky Landing to Loot Lake.
- For Rune 2, however, three lasers had to be painstakingly aligned at Loot Lake.
For each of these actions, players needed many hours and days. But for Rune 3, everything went much faster.
3rd Rune Activated in Record Time
Where was the 3rd rune and what did you have to do? Rune number three appeared yesterday, on April 25, at the shabby nightclub near the former Flush Factory in the southwest. The rune was perched on the DJ booth and had a charge indicator. This had to be filled by dancing for as long as possible.
Fortnite and dancing are two things that have always belonged together, and hordes of party fans likely flocked to the disco ruin and danced their hearts out.
This led to the rune’s charge filling in record time, and by the morning of April 26, the rune was activated and took its place at the bunker hatch. So if you wanted to dance with the rune, you were unfortunately out of luck.
What happened after the rune activation? Curiously, nothing. Only the 3rd segment at the hatch at Loot Lake was activated. However, there was no further reaction in the game world.
This is strange because in the past two instances, each time, the volcano became more active and emitted more smoke.
Perhaps something else will still come, and the players were simply much quicker than Epic had planned. That’s why the effect may not have been triggered. Or maybe it’s intentional, and the reaction to the rune is subtler this time and just wasn’t noticed.
But no matter what happens next, fans are eager to see what happens next. The appearance of Rune 4 is expected on Saturday. It remains to be seen how quickly it will be discovered and activated.
