Fortnite Reveals Chapter 3 Season 2 End Event "COLLISION"

Pretty much ever sinceFortnitewas launched roughly five years ago, mentions of the Imagined Order, or IO, and the mysterious Seven have percolated throughout the title’s lore and story. Growing in significance as time has gone on, the two warring factions' conflict will seemingly finally come to a head in the newly announcedFortniteChapter 3 Season 2 end event, “COLLISION.“Newly announced, the upcoming “COLLISION” event will mark the end of one ofFortnite’s most controversial seasons. Epic Games' popular free-to-play battle royale title made waves when it completely removed its signature building mechanic for a time. In more recent weeks,Fortniteplayers have been steadily taking down the IO’s various blimps while older weapons get temporarily unvaulted, likethe Rail Gun and Recon Scanner.RELATED:Video of Pro Fortnite Player Sin Making Racist Remarks SurfacesDetailed in an official blog post, “COLLISION” should quite literally be a collision between the Seven and the Imagined Order, as this season’s various “Resistance” quests have all been building towards. Taking place on Saturday, June 4 at 1 PM PT/4 PM ET, the season-ending event will most likely see the return of Mecha Team Leader (whose construction can be seen progressing in the background of the lobby) to take down Doctor Slone’s Collider machine that popped up recently. Players will be able to squad up to four players, and are recommended to log in 30 minutes early.

There is a chance that players may even be able to pilot Mecha Team Leader itself, withFortniteposting the above teaser audio of “hurry to battle stations.” In the days leading up to the event, there will also be Mecha Weapons Team Outfits available, with the skin also teased forthe nextFortniteCrew pack. Epic also recommends fans and content creators record the season-ending event, as it will not be something replayable.

As with the end of previous seasons,Fortnitewill again have a Bargain Bin Week. While it’s unclear if there will be another accompanying batch of quests again, prices on any weapon, item, or service will be steeply discounted, encouraging players to spend all of their Gold Bars before they expire after the end of the season.

WithFortnite’s Chapter 3 Season 2-ending event “COLLISION” scheduled to happen on June 4, it almost certainly means thatChapter 3 Season 3 will startthe next day, June 5, a day later than previously estimated. While it’s still a bit vague on what exactly will happen during “COLLISION,“Fortniteplayers can expect quite the wild ride.

Fortniteis free-to-play on PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
