Fortnite Mid-Season Live Event: When Does The Live-Event Start?

Get ready, Fortnite fans! A mid-season live event is just around the corner, and it looks like it's going to be an epic showdown featuring none other than Doctor Doom. As the main antagonist in Absolute Doom, this event will likely shape the rest of Chapter 5 Season 4, even though it's unusual for such a big event to happen mid-season. Here's everything you need to know about the event, including the date, time, and some things you can do to prepare.

When is the Fortnite Live Event?

The Fortnite live event is scheduled for Saturday, October 5 at the following times:

• 11 AM PDT
• 2 PM EDT
• 7 PM BST

You'll find the countdown timer in the west of Reckless Railways, with a Stark Industries theme marking the event's build-up.

 

What's Happening in the Event?

While the full details are still a bit mysterious, the event will center around a battle with Doctor Doom. Fortnite's in-game news screen has even given us the ominous message: "Prepare for Doom on October 5."

Before the event kicks off, you can get a small head start by completing a hidden quest. Head to the area with the event countdown, and you’ll find Peelverine, one of Fortnite’s quirky characters. Talk to him, and he’ll say, “If we wanna take Doom down like a sack o’ nanas, we’ll need to activate these Beacons.”

Once you interact with the Rift Beacons scattered nearby, you’ll complete the quest and earn yourself a Level Up Token—a nice bonus before the event begins.

How to Prepare for the Event

• Check your Fortnite Sleep Mode settings to ensure you don’t get kicked for inactivity if you're waiting around for the countdown to finish.
• Activate the Rift Beacons to complete Peelverine’s quest and secure a Level Up Token.

This one-time event is expected to be unrepeatable, so if you miss it, you’ll lose the chance to participate in what could be a key moment in Fortnite’s storyline. Make sure to log in on October 5 and get ready for an unforgettable battle with Doctor Doom!
