Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 2 live event date, time, countdown, and Season 3 Start
Thanks to a recent leak, we now have details regarding the end of Chapter 3 Season 1, including the specifics of a live event.
Fortnite is known for its flashy and exciting live events. Whether they’re at the start of a season or the end of one, these events are a spectacle to behold.
These live events have evolved over time. They started with a live rocket launch in Chapter 1 Season 4. And now, players are taken on immersive trips in front of Ariana Grande and Travis Scott.
However, the most exciting events are the ones focused on the game’s storyline. The events that end seasons are among the most anticipated, and usually draw in the most players.
Will there be a Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 2 live event?
With the final update for Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 2, we now have confirmation that there will be a live event at the end of the season!

With the Resistance fighting back against the IO and taking back POIs, the waging war is pretty easy to follow. The live event will be the culmination of the season long war between the IO and the Resistance.
There will be a live event!! 🔥

Fortnite Season 2 Live Event start date and time
The Fortnite Season 2 Live Event will take place on June 4 at 4 PM EST. Matchmaking will be disabled 30 minutes prior to the event. It’s unknown whether the event will have limited space, but you will probably want to get on early to secure a spot.
What will happen during the Season 2 live event?
All season, the Resistance has pushed back the IO’s invading forces. With the latest update, the IO have lost control of every POI except Command Cavern and a new POI at Loot Lake.
This new POI is home to yet another Doomsday Device that the IO intends to set off. The Season 2 live event will likely focus on stopping this device.
It is a very similar tower to that of Midas’ Doomsday Device in Chapter 2 Season 2.

Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 3 start date and time
Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 2 is slated to end on June 4, 2022. This means Season 3 could start as early as June 5.
However, notable leaker Shinna believes there will be an extended period of downtime between the seasons. Usually, players participate in the live event and can hop into the servers a couple of hours later. But that may not be the case this time around.
I believe we’ll enter an extended downtime after the event!

Fortnite will release the v21.20 update on July 5, 2022 and players can look forward to enjoying some new No Sweat Summer content in it.
After hyping up the No Sweat Summer event, Fortnite simply released some Creative challenges for XP. However, leaks suggest that new NPCs, cosmetics, and summer-themed challenges will arrive soon.
Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 3 is all about Vibin’ and nothing suits this theme better than a humming summer event. However, No Sweat Summer 2022 has only revolved around the Firework Flare Gun and six Creative XP challenges so far.
Fortnite players can earn these cosmetics for free by completing Island Hopper quests
It is evident that the player base isn’t satisfied with this year’s No Sweat Summer event. Fortunately, Epic Games itself teased more summer content and it should most likely be a part of the v21.20 or the v21.30 updates.
Fortnite promises ‘more summer vibes’ in a post about Island Hopper quests
Leaker iFireMonkey noticed that Epic Games’ official post about the Island Hopper quests states:
“Get vibin’ this summer in style! Want more summer vibes? No sweat, more summer is coming.
Stay tuned for more.”
Clearly, Island Hopper quests aren’t the end of No Sweat Summer in Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 3. However, for now, not a lot is known about the upcoming content.

Leakers have revealed that Epic Games will at least release Boardwalk Ruby, Summer Drift, and Unpeely as NPCs on the island. While the return of these fan favorites will be great, the arrival of Midsummer Midas and Summer Meowscles will be like icing on the cake.
🏝️ SUMMER UPDATE LEAK:
In this year’s #Fortnite No Sweat Summer 2022 event there will be at least 3 new NPCs on the island to interact with!
– Boardwalk Ruby
– Summer Drift
– UnpeelyThis tells us we can definitely expect some kind of BR updates for the summer in v21.20! pic.twitter.com/8K90NTJTli

iFireMonkey reported that the Battle Royale modes will soon have summer-themed challenges as well.
It is worth noting that the developers began working on Surfboards with Chapter 3 Season 3, and they will also return soon.
UPCOMING MOTORCYCLE VEHICLE 🔥
Epic began working on motorcycles recently which use the same animations as riding animals. It has 2 seats + you can boost & drift. Epic also added summer surfboards back but we don’t know if it’s for BR or Creative! pic.twitter.com/0uxl8fWgRk

When will Fortnite No Sweat Summer event 2022 begin?
Ideally, Fortnite should release the aforementioned content with v21.20 which is expected to release on July 6, 2022. Having said that, it is important to consider that Epic Games’ employees will be taking a summer break from July 24 to August 12.
Fortnite v21.30 should release ahead of this break on July 19, 2022. Because Epic Games won’t be able to roll out hotfixes or other things during the break, iFireMonkey believes that the 21.
30 patch will be the most content-loaded update this season.
All in all, loopers can certainly keep their hopes high for the No Sweat Summer event in 2022. While NPCs, challenges, and vehicles have been confirmed by leakers, Epic Games never misses an opportunity to capitalize on event-based cosmetics.

Fortnite x Fall Guys was one of the most sought-after events ever and Epic Games has managed to disappoint many players with it.
Fans naturally had sky-scraping expectations from a collaboration between Fortnite and Fall Guys, two of the biggest Battle Royale games in the world. Unfortunately, it turned out to be a damp squib for many.
Even though there hasn’t been an official announcement yet, Fortnite players have started receiving the free Major Mancake skin and other cosmetics in his set. This means that the much-anticipated collaboration with Fall Guys is finally live.

Despite having an opportunity to get a skin set for free, loopers aren’t satisfied with the ongoing Fortnite crossover.
Some glaring issues with Fall Guys x Fortnite: Crown Clash event
Fall Guys x Fortnite’s Crown Clash event began on June 29, 2022 although Epic Games has ignored it completely. The Galaxian emotes and return of Pac-Man have been mentioned in latest Twitter posts, but players still have no ‘official’ information on the free Major Mancake skin.
As of now, leakers have single-handedly promoted the entire crossover.

The spread of misinformation and confusion among loopers was inevitable, to say the least. Leakers and data miners have been flooded by messages about the free cosmetics, who obviously have no real advice to give.
I’m seeing a LOT of DMs about people not getting the rewards from the Fall Guys challenges.
There’s not really any advice i can give, each reward took around 1-2 hours before I got them in Fortnite, so I would say just wait and if you still don’t get it try contacting support pic.twitter.com/eokgx0Qazg
— iFireMonkey (@iFireMonkey) June 30, 2022
Another bone of contention is the lack of a Fall Guys-themed reward. Mancake is a popular Fortnite character, but he has no relation to Mediatonic’s Battle Royale title.
To play 100 rounds of Fall Guys for a ‘not-so-Major’ Mancake skin is not worth the effort for several players.

Is the latest Fortnite x Fall Guys: Crown Clash event even a crossover?
While the critique of the Fall Guys crossover has been mentioned above, there are players that are happy with it too. They argue that Crown Clash isn’t necessarily a collaboration, but a celebration.
Epic Games’ goal here is to simply promote Fall Guys (as it recently went free-to-play). Getting a free skin set for a prominent character like Mancake is a great incentive for a devoted Fortnite player to try another game.
Why did we get a Pancake skin, for a Fall Guys collaboration 🥹
— Happy Power (@HappyPower) June 29, 2022
Considering that Fortnite is a free-to-play title as well, it is always great when the developers hand out free rewards. To be fair, playing 100 rounds of Fall Guys is much easier than The Nindo challenges that only grant a glider, a wrap, and some emoticons.

All in all, the mixed response towards Fortnite x Fall Guys is understandable. While Major Mancake is good enough for some players, others look forward to unlocking cosmetics that ‘actually’ represent a collaboration.
For now, we await Epic Games’ blog post on Crown Clash event. Leakers have revealed that the event ends on July 11, 2022. It is unlikely that Major Mancake will arrive in the Item Shop later, and this could be your only opportunity to unlock it.

The Finals will take place between August 12-14. There are two ways for a team to win the Fortnite Champion Series in Chapter 3 Season 3:
- The first team to get three Victory Royales and earn 475 points will be declared the FNCS champion.
This is called the Match Point. - If no team is able to acquire a Match Point at the end of 12 Finals matches, the duo with the highest points will win.

The prize pool for the Chapter 3 Season 3 FNCS is a whopping $3 million. However, it will be divided across several regions:

- ASIA: $240,000
- ME: $120,000
- OCE: $120,000
The prize pool is different for each region, primarily because of Fortnite’s prominence there. It is evident that the viewership numbers in Europe are much higher than in the Middle East and Oceania.

Fortnite plant bisher längstes Live-Event für das Ende von Chapter 3
Fortnite hat bald ein Live-Event, jedoch nicht irgendeines. Es soll das bisher längste Event in der Geschichte des BR-Shooters werden. Warum das Event 40 Minuten dauert und was euch erwarten könnte, erfahrt ihr hier.
Wie lang dauert das Live-Event von Chapter 3? Das Live-Event von Season 4 Chapter 3 startet am 03. Dezember um 22:00 Uhr deutscher Zeit. Spieler können sich schon 30 Minuten vor dem Start des Events in die Spielersuche begeben.
So könnt ihr euch einen Platz sichern und mit Mitspielern besondere Teams bilden.
Danach geht das Event bis um 22:40 Uhr und beendet das 3. Chapter. Ihr werdet also insgesamt 40 Minuten im Live-Event sein und Dinge erleben, die das neue Kapitel einläuten. Üblicherweise laufen Live-Events aus dem Hause Epic Games maximal 20 Minuten, was verbirgt sich also hinter dem wohl größten Event? Wir zeigen es euch.
Das müsst ihr zum Event von Chapter 3 Season 4 wissen
Ein chaotisches Bild voller Zerstörung
Was passiert in Fortnite? In Fortnite beginnt das Event “Zersplittert” am 03. Dezember und beendet das kürzeste Kapitel in der Geschichte des Battle Royals. Die Insel wird nach vier Seasons langsam vom Chrom der Vorbotin verschlungen und Tornados geben den Bewohnern den Rest. Wie immer steht vor dem Ende eines Kapitels das Chaos im Vordergrund, wie auch das Event-Bild von Epic Games suggeriert.
Die Map wird von unzähligen Tornados heimgesucht, die sogar ganze Stücke aus der Insel reißen.
Zu sehen sind sogar Teile des Vergnügungsparks von Season 3. Es ist klar, dass die Insel das Event nicht überleben wird. Es ist also vorstellbar, dass ihr das Live-Event durch Cutscenes und spielbaren Elementen miterleben werdet.
Epic Games hat dies schon in der Vergangenheit genutzt, um so den Spielern die Story näherzubringen. Zudem steckt hinter der Vorbotin eine noch höhere Macht, nämlich das “Nichts”. Es ist also sehr wahrscheinlich, dass die Entwickler viel zu zeigen haben, damit der Übergang auf eine neue Map plausibel erscheint.
Auch beim Ende von Chapter 2 wurde nach einer Alien-Invasion die Map einfach auf den Kopf gestellt, doch diesmal ist die Situation komplizierter und erfordert womöglich mehr Zeit, damit die Spieler die Zusammenhänge begreifen können. Somit wären 40 Minuten gar nicht so lang.
Warum endet Chapter 3 so früh? Das könnte viele Gründe haben. Hypex, ein bekannter Leaker von Fortnite, listet schon alle möglichen Neuerungen für Chapter 4 auf.
Folgende könnten euch erwarten:
- Kreativ-Modus 2.0
- Neue kosmetische Item-Art (Apparel)
- Flugtiere als Fahrzeuge
- First-Person-Modus
- Motorräder
Das wohl wichtigste Feature ist der Kreativ-Modus 2.0. Epic Games hat schon mit Chapter 2 angefangen, diesen auszubauen und zu verbessern, jedoch es nicht geschafft ihn fertigzustellen. Wie man Epic jedoch kennt, beginnt jedes Chapter mit großen Erweiterungen und Spielneuerungen für den BR-Shooter.
In Chapter 2 waren es das Schwimmen und Fischen, in Chapter 3 waren es das Sprinten und vor allem der Parkour. Mit Chapter 4 könnte der Kreativ-Modus 2.0, sowie der First-Person-Modus die Kernfeatures sein, die auf Spieler zukommen.
Solche riesigen Neuerungen wurden nie inmitten eines Chapters implementiert. Es ist also sehr wahrscheinlich, dass Epic Games viele Neuerungen schon fertig hat, jedoch nicht 6 weitere Seasons warten kann, bis man diese veröffentlicht. Chapter 3 könnte somit als sogenannter Lückenfüller gedient haben, um die Zeit zu überbrücken, bis das Team mit den Projekten fertig ist.
