The Storm Eye is a gameplay mechanic in Fortnite Battle Royale.
It is meant to keep the game flowing and prevent people from just hiding in the edge of the map the entire match.
Your goal is to stay inside the eye of the storm.
The storm forms over the entire map, EXCEPT in that specified section
The eye of the storm keeps shrinking.
There are two phases for this shrinking, each with its own timer:
First, the map marks the area in which the storm eye shrinks to
Second, the storm eye actually shrinks.
If you get caught in the storm, you take damage over time until you die.
Your only possible action is to sprint as fast as you can towards the storm eye.
Here is how this looks on the map:
- The striped purple area is the storm itself.
- The blue circle is the current eye of the storm
- The white circle is the next eye of the storm
- If you are outside the eye of the storm, you will also see a straight white line indicating the shortest path from your location into the eye of the storm.
Mechanics
The destination of the eye (white circle) can be anywhere within the previous destination. The first circle can be anywhere in the entire map (bounded by a square grid, so it can be partially in the outside ocean). While shrinking, at every side, the eye gradually moves towards the destination, such that when the countdown timer hits zero, the eye will be exactly on the destination. If one side of the circle is further away from the destination, it will move faster. Because of this, depending on the circle, it can be possible to run faster than the circle if you're on a side that has less space between the eye and the destination.
Strategy Guide/Tips
- The Eye of the Storm moves in a random direction which can be different every match.
- The storm ignores armor and damages health directly. So a Shield Potion is useless against it.
- The storm will not interrupt actions that require uninterrupted focus such as applying bandages or using a med kit.
- Plan your moves ahead so that you don't get caught in the storm, don't let the storm force your moves.
