Every Fortnite match from this point forward will have 12 Storm Zones or Circles. The nine Storm Circles were a familiar sight to many Fortnite gamers. Nevertheless, in the most recent Chapter 4 Season 2 update, Epic Games added three additional Storm Zones. Even with the 12 Storm Circles, the Fortnite match length won’t change.

For something as important as Storm Circles, this is a major alteration. The zones’ duration and size have also been altered. Thankfully, the Storm causes less harm than before. For the first five Zones, you will only take 1 DPS from the Storm Circles. The DPS, duration, and other values for each Storm Zone are listed below:
