- When the clock strikes 1:30 PM ET, Epic will activate the custom Unstable Story Moment playlist in the Discover menu.
- Select the playlist and queue up immediately with a squad or as a solo player.
- You will then load into the event variant of the Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 3 map, featuring disabled weapons.
