The Wall Of Water

The Wall Of Water was a new Storm mechanism in Fortnite: Battle Royale, that was added after The Device Live Event. As of Chapter 2: Season 3, The Wall of Water collapsed and flooded most parts of Apollo with being the main theme for Season 3. The Wall of Water would, once a player was in it, send the player to the top of it, and fling them out, dealing mass amounts of fall damage.

Cause
In the Device Event, Midas activates the device in an attempt to destroy The Storm that has terrorised the island for years. This fails, however, and due to reasons unknown, the Storm returns, angrier than ever before.

Confirmed in the official Fortnite website, the Storm created the Wall of Water as revenge against Midas. It was temporarily contained by the Storm Shield, but after two days it broke through and caused a tsunami that flooded much of the island.

Some players believe that Midas' plan was actually to break a time loop that creates the Battle Royale, and that when it failed it somehow created the Wall.

Abilities

 * Able to swim when lost.
 * Carry up The Yacht. (Only in The Device Event)
 * Since it was the Storm for 2 days it gave damage to your player.
 * It can destroy vehicles only if you are inside of it.

Trivia

 * Loot Sharks were leaked with a shark swimming with the other fish.
 * The Wall collapsed, flooding the left side of the map completely.
 * Even when knocked, you could still swim when inside the wall of water.
 * Mount Kay was taller than the wall of water, which means people standing on top of Mount Kay would not be forced to swim, but they would still get storm damage.
 * If you were far away from the storm circle and inside the wall of water, the storm would make you swim at high speeds in order to reach the circle.
 * The Storm was especially dangerous during this time because if you were caught in the storm and went upwards, you would be launched out and die to fall damage.
