Whereas Fortnite has steadily held ambient stay occasions that occurred throughout battle royale matches, Death Star Sabotage would be the type of occasion that is normally reserved for the top of a chapter. We’ve not had a stay occasion like this one in the midst of a chapter because the Collision occasion on the finish of Chapter 3 Season 2, virtually precisely three years in the past.
