Mount Olympus was featured during the Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 2 live event. The statue on top of Mount Olympus charged up and prepared to hit the Pandora’s Box with lightning. This energy moved to the southern region of the island where it blew up in the water and left behind a flashing red light. This led to the formation of a sandstorm around the light which was coming from a shark-like boat.
