==Buildup==
The Government creates digging sites, which opens up volcano vents and fossils. They then move to Loot Lake and start digging up, revealing The Vault. Shortly after Rune Keys start to appear which needs a certain task to be done for it to move.

==Event Summary ==
The Vault opened allowing players to enter. Revealing The Zero Point in its orb state, secured and contained. Players were allowed to choose one item to unvault by hitting the item's crystal with their pickaxe until said item was hit enough times. There were 6 options: Bouncers, Drum Gun, Grappler, Infinity Blade, Planes and the Tactical Submachine Gun Players chose the Drum Gun to return to the game, and it promptly was. After the drum gun was unvaulted, players were brought back to the island. After leaving the Vault, players were launched into the air. The sky was dark from the smoke. The volcano promptly erupts, destroying the retail district of Retail Row, cracking the iceberg that supported Polar Peak, and almost completely flattening Tilted Towers. The Ice King later confirmed that The Prisoner was in control of the volcano, and had deliberately aimed for those targets, especially Polar Peak in order to free The Devourer in Fortnite X Marvel: Zero War Issue 4.
