Multiple portions of the map are going to be broken apart, abducted by the invaders.This will more than likely happen during the event, setting up what the map will look like come next season. Fortnite players asking for slight map changes won't be disappointed.Here's Abducted Coral, Slurpy & Corny.. There's more to them but they all look almost the same! pic.twitter.com/7urkVhKoWw— HYPEX (@HYPEX) July 27, 2021The event lobby background has been leaked as well, per HYPEX. Of course, take these leaks with a grain of salt, no matter how reliable they tend to be. Nothing is final until it actually happens.Upcoming Event Lobby Background! pic.twitter.com/l2ql9kAfnS— HYPEX (@HYPEX) July 27, 2021All signs point to the Mothership playing a large part in the Fortnite Season 7 live event. It is going to come over the island and apparently start taking it apart, abducting various locations as previously mentioned.This is how the Mothership's main door is gonna look like right before its event 👀 That blue light will slowly start appearing towards the event until it becomes like this (this is the final stage), there's more that I'm tryin to get with @EndymionFN, I'll keep y'all updated! pic.twitter.com/0LIlUwnA88— HYPEX (@HYPEX) July 26, 2021Everything in-game is preparing players for the Fortnite Season 7 live event.
