Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 3 live event start date and timings Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 3 live event kicked off on August 10, 2024, in-game at 2 PM ET. As rumored, it unleashed Pandora\u2019s Box to kickstart the events leading up to the new season that will drop on August 16. Here are all the timings across global regions when the event went live: Pacific Time (PT): 11 AM – Central Time (CT): 1 PM – Eastern Time (ET): 2 PM – Universal Coordinated Time (UTC): 6 PM – British Standard Time (BST): 7 PM – Central European Summer Time (CEST): 8 PM – Indian Standard Time (IST): 11:30 PM – Japan Standard Time (JST): 3 AM (August 11) – Australia Eastern Standard Time (AEST): 4 AM (August 11) – New Zealand Standard Time (NZST): 6 AM (August 11) – What happened in the Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 3 live event? The August 10 live event began with sounds of sirens howling across the Wasteland biome and Nitro-Fuel transported along a pipeline between Redline Rig and Brutal Beachhead. This is to fuel up Megalo Don\u2019s Shark Ship so he can wreck the entire island according to his plan. Shortly we hear Megalo Don talking to the loopers and saying, \u201cYour fate is sealed Wastelanders, enjoy your unhappy ending\u2026\u201d Once the fuel reaches the latter area, someone is seen hacking into the pipeline. Naturally, such tampering results in the pipeline becoming overloaded, which leads to Redline Rig going up in flames. The explosion destroys one-half of the Redline Rig POI and also unleashes Pandora\u2019s Box partway out of the ground. Notably, it\u2019s revealed that Doctor Doom hacked the pipeline. Event lore shared by Fortnite account Ako suggests Doctor Doom, who\u2019d been seen as The Wanderer, betrayed Season 3 villain Megalo Don. Shortly after, the official Fortnite X account also released a teaser with a green image with the text \u201cTo be continued\u201d, alongside a caption that said, \u201cThose who wander are not lost. Destruction brings powerful beings.\u201d The post confirmed the upcoming Marvel theme in the next season with strong hints towards Doctor Doom causing all the chaos. Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 3 Pandora\u2019s Box location Pandora\u2019s Box has returned from the ground where it was submerged towards the finale of Chapter 5 Season 2\u2019s live event. It now sits lodged in a crafter full of lava at the Redline Rig POI. In the previous season, Pandora\u2019s Box played a crucial role in unleashing the apocalypse orchestrated by Hades and turning the island into the Wasteland. Now Doom has once again unshackled the world-ending entity to control it and possibly let loose an apocalypse whose scale could culminate in dire consequences for Fortnite Island. How to attend the Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 3 live event The live event has since concluded but players were able to log into the Chapter 5 Season 3 Battle Royale Island in a Builds or Zero Build matchmaking lobby 30 minutes before the event starts. This allowed them to experience the event in real time. Though the event has passed, users can still join the fun as the Redline Rig POI and Pandora\u2019s Box changes will likely remain in place until Season 3 ends on August 16.
