The in-game event, which seems to be breaking up parts of the map already, started to get underway on February 14 as players spotted huge cracks appear throughout the map. After one hit a small hill southwest of Tomato Temple, we started thinking about the levels of destruction the earthquake could potentially cause. So, here\u2019s five places that we hope won\u2019t be damaged by the quake. Wailing Woods If Fortnite were going to make us take this earthquake event seriously, you would expect to see utter destruction and chaos. You would expect to see trees crashing against each other and a large area of the ground splitting in different directions \u2013 to really capture the moment. Sadly, though, that could mean the end of Wailing Woods \u2013 a location that has been a mainstay since the game was first launched. A few cracks have already been sighted near the location as well, which could be the beginning of the end. Nevertheless, we hope that this drop destination isn\u2019t completely destroyed, but rather adapted as we\u2019ve seen in the past with other original points of interest \u2013 like Loot Lake and Dusty Divot, which was formerly Dusty Depot. The developer should keep some of the original pieces of the puzzle in the game and Wailing falls under that category for sure. Its chances of survival do look slimmer with every crack, though. Tilted Towers Tilted Towers could be seen as quite a polarizing location in Fortnite. While some players enjoyed the carnage of around half of the session landing here when it was first added in Patch 2.0, others do avoid the area as it tends to be very populated indeed. It\u2019s one of the most lucrative spots for a player to land at, though, with over 35 chests scattered around the buildings there in Season 7 and we\u2019d like to see it protected during the earthquake. It\u2019s a location like no other, in terms of the size of the buildings, and we\u2019d like to see it stick around for a few more seasons at least. Things aren\u2019t looking too good for the popular landing spot, though, as leaks are pointing to its eventual destruction by the end of this event. Fatal Fields We\u2019re definitely guilty of a bit of nostalgia with this inclusion, but it would be nice if Epic decided to keep some of the original destinations around for a bit longer. With the earthquake quickly splitting parts of the map up, there\u2019s a good chance that some of the older drop points could take the hit \u2013 but, we\u2019re confident that Fatal Fields will live to see fights for another day. The additions that have been made to Fatal, particularly the long grass \u2013 plus the removal of Anarchy Acres \u2013 makes it one of the most unique settings in the game right now. So, we\u2019d like to think that there won\u2019t be a huge split down the middle of it in a few weeks time, but you never know. Western Town Fortnite hasn\u2019t really given this place a name yet. However, those that drop here will know exactly why it\u2019s been included in this list. The \u2018Western Town,\u2019 as some fans have decided to call it, is home to an astonishing 19 chests in total \u2013 which is a lot if you consider its size. Found on the southeast side of the island, the place is tiny but there\u2019s loot to be found all over the place. Walking through, all you can hear is noises of chests and people opening them. Surely, this shouldn\u2019t be taken away. Areas like this take people away from dropping at key locations and allows players to evenly distribute across the map at the start of games. Hopefully, it\u2019s going nowhere any time soon. Abandoned Mansion Look, the mansion was added to Fortnite back in Season 4 and it\u2019s had a pretty rough ride ever since. When you walk past this destination, you\u2019ll know what we\u2019re talking about. For what was once a beautiful addition to Battle Royale, the Mansion has since been completely abandoned, overgrown and left to rot by its owner \u2013 whoever that may be. The Ice King? He seems to have disappeared of late. Anyway, this is a fantastic place to drop for players. There\u2019s a load of loot to be found here and while it might be located on the outside rim of the map\u2019s east side \u2013 near the huge race track \u2013 there\u2019s an X-4 Stormwing plane hidden in its lower floor to get you back towards the circle. Just one little shake from this earthquake could take it out and we don\u2019t want that to happen!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Top 5 places we don\u2019t want to see destroyed by Fortnite\u2019s earthquake Fortnite\u2018s earthquake is starting to heat up ahead of Season 8 and while many fans can\u2019t wait to see what happens, we\u2019re hoping Epic Games doesn\u2019t destroy any of these five destinations.
