Alright, Fortnite community: Hold onto your seats because Epic Games have thrown some wild crazy into your weekend. The occasion has been branded the Golden Llamageddon Weekend in Blitz Royale. If you weren’t already hyped within the past forty seconds, you’ll be jumping around by now.
Consider seven upgrades that will rain over Blitz Royale right through Monday: 100% Golden Llamas and Mythic loot from the get-go. You got that right! It’s not as if you have to do any groundwork for that loot; there it lies just for you. And Golden Llamas? Every. Single. One. Maxed-out gear in hand, huge power spikes, and absolute pandemonium in the coolest way possible.
Players are losing their cool in the comments. Some, like Fungi488, were, “Wait it wasn’t already 100%? I swear I’ve seen them in most of my games.” On the other hand, there’s SilkavMoth, asking frantically, “BLITZ IS NOT PERMANENT?” because, come on, this mode really is too good to be away for just a weekend.
Speaking of fun, reactions are as much mixed salad of pure joy as they are solidarity with demands. JamieKelwick stated, “LOVE this mode!” while EnksGaming described it as their “kind of fast-paced game mode.” Then there are folks like k0ntroversial, who just took the opportunity to ask yet again for a rotating mini-map option (this person has been asking for that for 586 days straight).
Of course, not everyone is happy. GarkovB kept throwing, “Good job for ruining everything with the beast,” as WelshWitcher felt crown wins shouldn’t count in Blitz. But hey, you know you can’t please all of them, can you?
That bigger question should be- why just for the weekend? KingDroppy said it all: “Surely this has to become permanent based on the player count? No way this leaves but the flop new training ground mode stays 😔 And really? They aren’t wrong. Blitz Royale is fast, chaotic, and packed with action—exactly what many players are asking for.
There are one or two random ones in the replies worth laughing at: DominicMc4 is begging for a Daddy Yankee skin (??), MeloKirstein is campaigning hard for AoT Wave 2 with Armin & Jean, and babygrubie just wants a Lady Gaga skin to go with the Bruno Mars one. Priorities, people.
Anyway, back to the llama: If you’ve been sleeping on Blitz Royale, wake up now. Golden Llamas mean getting the best loot without the usual RNG struggle, and starting with Mythics? No joke. Casual or sweats, this weekend is about to be crazy fun.
So, gather your squad, drop into Blitz, and make the most of it. If that thing does not become permanent, they won’t stop crying in the replies. And, seriously? I would be crying too.
In addition, there are ongoing discussions in the community about various aspects of Fortnite, further emphasizing the excitement surrounding these mini-events.
