Jump Links What time does the Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 3 Unstable live event start? How to join the Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 3 live event, Unstable Fortnite is getting an Unstable Story Moment live event before the end of Chapter 7 Season 3 to help set up the launch of the next season, Override. This event takes place in a Battle Royale match, rather than as a separate game mode, so you'll need to make sure to queue in and get ready on time if you want to see the story unfold live.
Below we list what time the Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 3 Unstable live event starts in your time zone .
The Unstable Story Moment begins at 2 p.m. EDT on Saturday, Aug. 15 , in Fortnite 's Battle Royale game mode. Here is the starting time across the globe:
You can guarantee a good spot by heading to an area near the Zero Point, which is located at the center of the map. To ensure you experience the event in its entirety, you should ready up a few minutes before it begins. This will give you plenty of time to finish matchmaking and get into a match. It is best to enter a game about five minutes before, as that is when all damage is disabled, allowing everyone on the island to watch the event without being eliminated.
Once the event ends, a Mythic Sprite Power Hour will begin. The Power Hour will be live for a total of two hours, making it easier for players to catch any mythic rarity sprites that they may be missing during this time.
Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 3 ends on Aug. 20. Downtime will start at 4 a.m. ET.
