The space rock that's been looming in the skies above Fortnite: Battle Royale has finally crashed on the land

When did the meteor hit Dusty Depot in Fortnite?

It finally happened, the meteor struck Fortnite.

But it turns out that most people's predictions were wrong, and ours, was right. It hit the Dusty Depot and became Dusty Divot.

The area had long been in need of a revamps and the developers found just the way to do it - by crashing a giant space rock down on it.

Where is Dusty Divot?

The area has now become Dusty Divot.

Dusty Divot is a giant crater that took the place of Dusty Depot and inside it there are plenty of little space rocks called Hop Rocks.

By picking one of these up you are able to engage in low-gravity hijinks!

Epic Games said: “The comet has left a mark on the island… visit the crater and you’ll find glowing rocks all around. Consume them and lift off with low gravity."

Where is Risky Reels?

Risky Reels is a brand new place that didn't seem to have anything to do with the meteor.

The location is north-east of Dusty Divot in the upper-most right of the map.

This was an empty space near the Wailing Woods and made a good landing spot at the start of a match - not anymore, it would seem.

What is Fortnite all about and why do kids love it?

A hundred players parachute on to an island, each initially armed only with a pickaxe.

Waiting to be collected are crossbows, rifles and grenade launchers. The last fighter standing is the winner.

It has been called Call Of Duty for kids.

Players should be at least 12, as the game is rated PEGI 12 due to "frequent scenes of mild violence", according to the UK Video Standards Council.

Unlike the popular shoot-’em-up, there is no blood, plus characters wear costumes and can dance.
