How to watch the Fortnite Season 6 finale event: Start time, details, more
Don’t miss out on the epic conclusion to Fortnite Season 5. Find out when the Zero Crisis Finale is, its start time, details, and more.
Fortnite Chapter 2, Season 5 is coming to an end with an epic event that will completely change the battle royale. We have all the information on when the Zero Crisis Finale is, its start time, and other details.
There were a ton of memorable additions during Fortnite Chapter 2, Season 5, including various crossovers with franchises like Terminator and Predator, along with the rare Exotic Weapons. Now, Season 6 will start right after the Zero Crisis Finale.
Epic Games have made it clear that this event will be their “most ambitious story cinematic yet.” You can play it solo or stream the global premiere online, so here is everything you need to know about it.
When is the Fortnite Zero Crisis Finale?
Epic Games will officially kick off Fortnite Season 6 with The Zero Crisis Finale event on Tuesday, March 16, 2021. It won’t be live and isn’t time-specific, which makes it different from previous Fortnite finale events.
So far, Epic Games haven’t confirmed a start time for the official stream, but we’ll be sure to update this guide once they do. The new format will result in more players participating than usual, so you will share this experience with several others.
What will happen during the Zero Crisis Finale?
So far, the developers haven’t revealed too many details about what they have planned for the Zero Crisis Finale event, but we expect it to wrap up Agent Jonesy’s mission in Fortnite Chapter 2, Season 5.
The many different crossovers in this season were explained by Jonesy recruiting different bounty hunters to help him keep players from escaping The Loop. However, that ended up destabilizing the Zero Point towards the end of Season 5.
Epic Games have teased some huge changes to the battle royale, as the event’s aftermath will “shape reality as we know it.”
How to watch Fortnite Zero Crisis Finale
As we mentioned above, the developers have made this event available to players who want to play solo. However, if you can’t play through it then don’t worry, since you’ll still be able to check it out online.
Epic Games will probably stream the Zero Crisis Finale on the official Fortnite YouTube and Twitch channels. If not, plenty of other Fortnite streamers will pick up the slack.
We expect more details about this event to be revealed soon, and it seems that the finale will affect the battle royale’s meta in a huge way for Season 6.

To locate the Sith Holocron in Rave Cave, Fortnite players need to head inside the mountain and stand outside the main building.

Apex Legends & Fortnite Twitch viewership takes major hit as Fall Guys surges
The rise of Fall Guys since going free-to-play has seemingly led to a drop in Twitch viewers for both Fortnite and Apex Legends.
Fall Guys has seen a massive bump in popularity since going free to play, so much so that it appears to have damaged rival battle royales Apex Legends and Fortnite’s popularity on Twitch.
For a few glorious months after its launch in 2020, Fall Guys was the hottest property in gaming. Millions of players took pleasure in dragging their clumsy jellybeans through outrageous levels in an attempt to be the last bean standing.
Despite being the most-downloaded PS Plus game of all time, Fall Guys failed to find the staying power that other battle royales like Warzone enjoyed. However, after going free-to-play and releasing on Switch and Xbox, the game saw its player base grow to over 20 million.
The resurgence of Fall Guys appears to have impacted its competitors too, with both Apex Legends and Fortnite taking a significant hit in Twitch viewership.
After going free-to-play in June, the latest Twitch figures show just how big a comeback Fall Guys has made. At the time of writing in July 2022, Fall Guys is the sixth most-viewed game on the platform with an average of 88,100 viewers.
This is a massive 22% increase from the previous week, placing Mediatonic’s quirky title alongside heavy hitters like Counter-Strike: GO and Escape from Tarkov.
What’s even more interesting is the effect that Fall Guys’ success has had on its rivals. Fortnite and Apex Legends have slipped behind Fall Guys with drops of 7.4% and 12.7% respectively, with Apex barely clinging on to a spot in the top 10.
Call of Duty: Warzone has also taken a significant dip, losing 16.2% of its Twitch audience in the last week.
Of course, it’s tough to tell if the drops seen by rival battle royales were directly caused by people tuning in to Fall Guys instead, but it’s definitely interesting to see such a drastic change in figures just after the game went F2P.
We’ll have to wait and see if Fall Guys can keep players and viewers on board this time around, but with Apex Legends Season 14 and Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 4 coming soon, Mediatonic has their work cut out for them.
In the meantime, check out the leaked Dragon Ball Z crossover in Fortnite, as well as the most popular character in Apex Legends Season 13.

Where to find & open the secret door at Shuffled Shrines in Fortnite: Location & guide
Here’s how to find and open the secret door at Shuffled Shrines to complete Fortnite’s Indiana Jones Questline.
The brand-new Shuffled Shrines POI has appeared with the 21.20 update and features an Indiana Jones-style secret room to investigate. You’ll need to find it and get inside to complete the Indy Quests, so here’s how.
Fortnite players have been desperate to finally unlock the Indiana Jones Battle Pass skin, and it finally went live with the 21.20 update. Alongside Indy, there’s the brand-new Shuffled Shrines POI just west of the Joneses.
Shuffled Shrines has a secret door that players need to open to unlock the Indiana Jones Quests, and in true Indy fashion, there’s a puzzle to solve and deadly traps to avoid. Here’s how to solve the puzzle and open the secret door to complete the Fortnite Indiana Jones Quests.

How to open the secret door at Shuffled Shrines in Fortnite
Fortnite players looking to open the secret door at Shuffled Shrines will need to solve the stone puzzle.
There will be four stones around Shuffled Shrines, each with a different color-coded symbol. Starting on the south side of Shuffled Shrines, head clockwise around the area, marking down the symbol displayed on each shrine. While the stones will always be in the same place, the symbols will change each match.
You can check out their locations on the map below, and you’ll be able to hear them as you approach.
Once you’ve got all four symbols, head to the secret door in the middle of the POI. You’ll find four stones with the symbols, and use your interact button to have the stones display the symbols in the order that you visited them.
Once all four are correct, the stones will start glowing and the door will open. As this is an Indiana Jones Quest and POI, you’ll need to be careful of the traps that line the corridor as you approach the artifact.

Once you reach the main chamber where the artifact sits on a plinth (picking this up will give 250 Gold), look to your right and you’ll notice a doorway masked by a large bush.

Head through the door and go right to the end of the corridor and you’ll find two Mythic chests and you’ll complete the “Find the secret door past the main chamber in Shuffled Shrines” Indiana Jones Quest and unlock the Indy’s Dustoff Emote. But be careful, you can be squished by a boulder on your way out.
