Fortnite Doomsday event – Here's what happened
The Fortnite Device event was scheduled to start at 2:05 PM ET. Once the countdown timer went off, users started to hear the blaring sirens and the grunts from guards in the area. The Doomsday Device took off from the Agency to target the Storm. Eventually, a number of vents that were opened inside the water surrounding The Agency building gave rise to huge metallic buildings. Soon after, a mysterious object started to break out of the tower. In the next scene, there was an electrical power firing at the device from the building.

While there wasn’t much context to the scene, it could be hinting at what’s coming in the upcoming season. The Storm was soon cleared out before getting replaced by a massive wall of water.
