Fortnite Launches Limited-Time Most Wanted Event

gamerant.com:

A new event has started in Fortnite as part of its latest update. The Most Wanted event brings a host of new challenges that give players the opportunity to earn free cosmetics and access new weapons.

Currently in Chapter 4 Season 1, Fortnite continues to be the dominating presence in the battle royale genre. Chapter 4 brought players into an entirely new map after the event that ended Chapter 3, arriving with a selection of new weapons, and introducing a perk system (known as Reality Augments) that can be picked in game to give players a winning advantage. It also welcomed a myriad of new skins to add to the collection as part of the season's battle pass.

Announced on the official Fortnite Twitter account after downtime had ended, the Most Wanted event will last from February 14th to February 28th. In the event, players are able to loot new exotic weapons from vaults owned by the «Cold-Blooded» syndicate. This is done by eliminating AI bosses, who drop the key cards needed to access these new vaults. But players must be careful, as doing this will raise their heat level, making them visible on the map to other players. Players can also access new, limited-time augments, which will be part of Fortnite's existing set of augments.

The risk is worth the reward, however, as players with higher heat levels will have faster movement speed and regenerating health. Fortnite's new exotic weapons are very powerful, one example is the Heisted Explosive Assault Rifle, which takes a regular Red-Eye Assault rifle and gives it explosive projectiles. To accompany these new changes, Epic Games has added a «mini» battle pass to Fortnite for the duration of this event. Completing Most Wanted
