Athena is the entire name for Battle Royale in general
and was just what we referred to the old map as
shush y'all
— Lucas7yoshi – Fortnite Leaks (@Lucas7yoshi) May 26, 2020
also apparently storm was broken
there was some controllers added to manipulate the storm a bit more, something tells me that screwed it up
gonna check then sleep
— Lucas7yoshi – Fortnite Leaks (@Lucas7yoshi) May 26, 2020
or maybe this is intentional…
can someone check if this happens in comp playlists, if it doesn't that means its intentional
maybe like the implication is midas is screwing the storm up?
