Acquire BluGlo and deliver it to the launchpad to fuel the rocket's lift off.
— In-Game Description

Tips[]

Calculated - Emote - Fortnite
This section outlines a strategy.
Feel free to add tips, tricks and general advice about the topic.
  • For the first defense stage, you must defend for 2 minutes. The next wave lasts 3 minutes and the final wave is for 4 minutes.
  • It is best to collect all the required BluGlo before starting the defense.
  • Be aware of Wildlife breaking your builds in between waves. Wall Spikes or Wall Dynamoes are effective in preventing this.

Trivia[]

  • When the rocket is launched, the Mission Control communications from Space Shuttle mission STS-51-L can be briefly heard.
