Live Events in Battle Royale are huge events that only happen once, and usually bring huge changes to the map with them. Live Events often bring the Fortnite community together; everyone stops attacking eachother to watch the event. Live Events usually happen once every season, and there have been many across the last few seasons.
Some live events may use unique gamemodes to host the event and can have unique rules.
