Season 3, with the slogan Meteor Strike, was the third season of Fortnite: Battle Royale. It started on February 22nd, 2018 and ended on April 30th, 2018. The season's theme revolved around space exploration.

The game's user base increased around this season as Fortnite: Battle Royale was introduced to the iOS community.

Storyline

About half way through the season, a blue object appeared in the sky above the Athena island, later revealed to be a meteor that was approaching the island. Over time, telescopes appeared around the island on high vantage points like hills and mountains, that were looking towards the meteor and players theorized that the meteor would hit Tilted Towers.

As the season started coming to a close, small camps appeared on a building in Tilted Towers, followed by televisions around the island broadcasting static with unintelligible audio. For the last few days of the season, small meteor fragments would crash into the island starting towards the middle of matches, progressively getting worse as the match went on.

Rewards System

Challenge Cosmetics

Challenge cosmetics are rewarded to players for completing a specific challenge or achievement, this includes Victory Umbrellas which are rewarded to players for getting a victory royale in any main Battle Royale gamemode while the season is active.
