Take that ice cream van!

If the meteor won’t destroy Tilted Towers then fans have taken it upon themselves to do it, in what was originally supposed to be a wake.

For weeks now people have been talking about a meteor (or is it a comet?) destroying Tilted Towers in Fortnite, but nothing has actually ever happened.

And just like any good death cult, fans have decided that if a natural disaster won’t end (part of) the world then they’ll take on the job themselves.

The group on Reddit were originally supposed to be planning a wake for Tilted Towers, but when that turned out not to be necessary they decided to destroy the place instead.

‘We will all queue up at the same time into solos, and land at Tilted Towers to honour it’s greatness by destroying every single structure in the city,’ wrote Redditor xsgoof.


‘Every tree, every building, every car. Once everything is gone, we all have a massive dance party to pay respects to the city. Be there, to honour this soon-to be fallen location by standing united and in harmony.’

As scary as that logic is loads of people turned up, as you can see in the video below. Although just as many were trolls who started killing everyone that was trying to destroy the area.

Why do people think Tilted Towers will be destroyed?

The rumours of a meteor hitting Tilted Towers started a few weeks ago when players spotted what looked like a comet in the sky. Many were convinced it was getting bigger and heading straight towards Tilted Towers.

That could’ve been people’s imaginations, but a subsequent update added telescopes to areas near Fatal Fields and Snobby Shores, which were pointing straight at the comet. At the same time a lot of the new items in the season 3 battle pass were space-related, such as an astronaut suit.

None of that is exactly proof that Tilted Towers is going to be destroyed, although the area was only added in February and has proved divisive with fans – with same hating and some not.

The theory is that developer Epic Games has decided it’s not working out and are going to use the meteor to remove it from the map. Although maybe they should’ve just asked the players to do it for them…
