Event Summary

Event Summary[]

The Vault opened allowing players to enter, revealing The Zero Point in its orb state, secured and contained. Players were allowed to choose one item to unvault by hitting the item's crystal with their pickaxe until said item was hit enough times. There were 6 options: Bouncers, Drum Gun, Grappler, Infinity Blade, Planes and the Tactical Submachine Gun. Players chose the Drum Gun to return to the game, and it promptly was.

After the Drum Gun was unvaulted, players were were launched out of The Vault and into the air to find that the sky was dark from smoke and ash. The Volcano erupts, shooting out 3 volcanic rocks, which destroy the retail district of Retail Row, crack the iceberg that supported Polar Peak, and nearly destroy Tilted Towers completely, with the No Sweat Insurance building surviving the carnage.

The Ice King later confirmed that The Prisoner was in control of the volcano, and had deliberately aimed for those targets, especially Polar Peak in order to free The Devourer in Fortnite X Marvel: Zero War Issue 4.
