Overview
Chaos Cubes, also known as Royal Cubes[1] and Golden Cubes[2], are a type of golden colored Cubes in Fortnite and the commanders of the Corruption Cubes. The first specimen of Chaos Cubes was first introduced during Operation: Sky Fire.
They are major characters in Fortnite: Battle Royale, serving as one of the main antagonists of Chapter 2: Season 8 and Chapter 7: Season 1.
Overview
Overview[]
In appearance, Chaos Cubes are identical to the Corruption Cubes, albeit golden in color. However, a single one is far more powerful than multiple Corruption Cubes. Chaos Cubes have the power to command the lower Cubes and can also give them enough energy to power up multiple of them, enough to allow reproduction and the birth of multiple smaller Corruption Cubes. During The End event, Cube Queen used the Chaos Cube at the top of The Pyramid to gather all corruption cube energy and use it to open a golden rift to the Last Reality. Chaos Cubes are used notably to power the Cube's Cradle fleet of Motherships, as well as The Dark Harvester.
