While some may call it a smart play, it is not funny at all for the victims. So, with the arrival of Chapter 3 Season 3 in Fortnite, Epic Games is rolling out a new mechanic that will make it more difficult for players to stay inside the storm longer than a certain period.
What Is Storm Sickness in Fortnite?
From now on, if you stay inside the storm for more than a certain amount of time cumulatively, you will receive a warning telling you that you are developing Storm Sickness, which will increase the effect of the storm on your Shield and Health bars exponentially.
How to Heal Storm Sickness
There isn’t an absolute cure for Storm Sickness, but you can simply stop its negative impact by exiting the storm. However, if you return inside the storm anytime in the match again, Storm Sickness will be activated immediately as it remains in your character’s body.
So, we simply suggest you stop staying any longer inside the storm, but if you did catch Storm Sickness, don’t dare to enter inside the storm once again!
Fortnite is now available for free on PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, Nintendo Switch, Android, PC, and Xbox Cloud Gaming.
