Epic Games has dropped a wild new limited-time event in Fortnite, and players have been going head-first into the chaos. Blitz Royale Weekend Event is currently live, and if you’re looking for wild features to keep your heart pounding, let’s start with every person spawning with Mythic loot on day one. We are not scrambling among basic weapons anymore; this mode opens up high-octane maniacal fun from the moment you touch down.
Loads of Golden Llamas are also spawning, and they carry the Storm Beast’s item so the battles will definitely be shaken in crazy ways. But of course! To add to the chaos, Epic Games also threw in a Mythic Rocket Ram that can deal 200 damage, which is borderline absurd, and two brand-new Mythics: Zeus Lightning and the Dual Revolver. In short, madness is your playground.
The conversation started less than a few moments after the mode’s release. Some decided to laugh off the madness while others weren’t anything close to being appreciative. Player @EmorMetaX stated the mode was “full of bot lobbies,” unfairly easy. Adding fuel to the fire was @DreamySenora’s one-liner: “This weekend’s about to be pure chaos 🔥”—and that’s as true as statements get.
The new stuff isn’t having supporters either: @murphy_luc4039 said the Mythic Rocket Ram “does no extra damage” in comparison to the normal one and almost questioning its purpose, whereas @GarkovB straight-up asked, “Can we keep the fucking storm beast out of this game mode😔—which might carve zero-build vibes.
Some criticism was thrown in there as well, but others are riding high on the madness. @Kallik_G_TTV screamed, “LETS GOOOOO I NEED TO RUN AROUND THEM POM POMS,” basically telling us that sometimes it’s those dumb little things that make Fortnite. @bmsquamtum stayed true to the spirit of the event in his tweet: “Surprise! it’s Golden Llamageddon Weekend in Blitz Royale! 🦙💛 Now til Monday: 100% Golden Llamas. 100% Starting Mythic Loot.”
So what’s the verdict? If you like fast, over-the-top action where every match is a highlight reel, this weekend will be your playground. But for those looking for a more balanced, strategic experience … maybe just sit this one out. However, either for right or for wrong, this event certainly will spark discussions.
Well, if nothing else, the question has finally been settled: What happens when you drop every player with full Mythic gear? There’s the answer: Absolute, beautiful chaos! Grab your Dual Revolvers, hunt those Golden Llamas, and try not to get wiped out by a Mythic Rocket Ram—because that’s just how this weekend is gonna roll.
