“It was actually insane”: Fortnite community reacts to Chapter 5 Season 2 Pandora’s Box live event

Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 2 has undoubtedly been one of the more eventful seasons in recent years, at least in terms of storyline, with the game constantly expanding the narrative of the Greek Mythology saga. Now, as Chapter 5 Season 2 nears its end, things are coming to a head, with the Mount Olympus statue channeling red lighting to strike down on Pandora's Box, destroying it entirely.

The event's massive scale and significance in the Fortnite lore have been well-received by a lot of players. This is highlighted in a recent Reddit post shared by u/TheFlompa, where the player uploaded a video of the live event while expressing their admiration for the same.

The Reddit post ignited a flurry of reactions from the community as many expressed their awe at the fascinating build-up to the Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 2 finale, with Redditor u/Silkysocks777 stating:

Other members of the community took to the comments to opine on the Pandora's Box live event. Redditor u/SauceySaucePan acknowledged how awe-inspiring the live event was but expressed disappointment at Epic Games not adequately communicating its timings.

Many who experienced the event came across it by accident, just like Reddit user u/mac40854, who highlighted that they didn't know the event was happening and managed to catch it at the perfect time.

Meanwhile, u/Spartan0718 went to extensive lengths to witness the Chapter 5 Season 2 live event as they revealed how they remotely logged into their Xbox to catch it.

What does the Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 2 live event mean for the game moving forward?

That's was so cool byu/TheFlompa inFortNiteBR

While the happenings around the Mount Olympus statue and Pandora's Box have certainly injected a level of excitement into the Fortnite community, certain reports and leaks suggest that this is all still leading up to an even bigger grand finale that closes out the Greek Mythology saga.

This was highlighted by prominent Fortnite leaker ShiinaBR, who took to X and claimed that the events would continue over the next few days.

After the last live event, Pandora's Box has been destroyed by a red lightning shot from the Mount Olympus statue, unleashing a sandstorm that is slowly approaching the Island while transmitting certain messages in Morse code. All of the signs are pointing toward Epic Games planning to deliver a fitting conclusion to the epic Greek Mythology saga.
