Fortnite is currently offline as Epic Games prepares to launch Chapter 2 – Season 5 of the battle royale game on December 2.
The game recently wrapped up its Marvel-themed Chapter 2 – Season 4 with a fight against planet consumer Galactus in a live Nexus War finale event which kicked off at 4pm ET/1pm PT/9pm UK on Tuesday.
As shown in the video below, the event saw players start on theAvengers‘ Helicarrier aircraft before it was struck down by Galactus, who was on a mission to eat the Zero Point.
Players then received a life-saving jetpack from Iron Man, before the super hero instructed them to pilot explosive-filled battle bus clones equipped with laser cannons into the mouth of Galactus to open a portal and send him “back where he came from”.
