What is Storm Sickness in Fortnite?

Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 3 makes the storm even deadlier with the Storm Sickness effect. Here’s everything you need to know about it.

A new season is underway in Fortnite, and with it come a new map, new items, and new mechanics. Previous seasons added useful features such as sliding, but Chapter 3: Season 3 has introduced something that will hinder players if they’re not careful. Storm Sickness is a new mechanic that makes the storm more dangerous than ever, and you need to know how to avoid it.

Fortnite’s storm forces you towards your enemies by shrinking the play area, and standing inside it will slowly damage you until death. Naturally, it’s something you want to avoid, but if you’re forced into a tough spot then the damage is low enough to manage for a short time. This has led experienced Fortnite players to use the storm as a weapon and spend a ridiculous amount of time inside it for an advantage, so Storm Sickness has been introduced to prevent this behaviour.
