Fortnite Pandora’s Box gets chains broken
Fortnite players have broken the chains on Pandora’s Box less than a day after it appeared on the map to progress the season-ending event.
Greek Mythology Takes Center Stage
The first season of Chapter 5 is coming to a close on March 8 and with it will usher in a new era. Chapter 5’s initial season focused on saving Peely and defeating members of The Society. However, the new season will center around Greek mythology.
Changes to the Map and Earthquakes
Fortnite typically teases the upcoming season by making changes around the map. This time earthquakes began happening in different areas and eventually created cracks in the ground.
Pandora’s Box and the Hellish Tornado
After multiple earthquakes broke open parts of the map, a hand appeared holding a large box surrounded by chains. This would become known as the Pandora’s Box which would have to be open to progress the event. In less than 24 hours, players have broken in and released a hellish tornado.
Working Together to Break the Chains
When Pandora’s Box was unearthed, players quickly discovered they would have to work together to break the chains. While the chains surrounding the box did have health bars, they were much stronger than what players could have anticipated.
The Box is Open
With a health bar rumored to be upwards of 50 million, it would take a collaborative effort to make a dent in the chains. However, what seemed like a near-impossible task was no match for the Fortnite community. In less than 24 hours since the box appeared, it has now been opened.
Unveiling the Contents of the Box
The initial event was bugged for some players, which revealed the contents of the box early before the chains could be broken. Inside the box is a large orange tornado that lifts players into the air. But now that the box is open, this can be seen by all players.
What’s Next in the Event?
It is unknown what will happen next in the event now that the tornado has been unleashed. However, there are still five days left until the season starts, which means another movement in the event is sure to occur.
