The New Fortnite Event Feels Like A Mini Season Launch

gamespot.com:

Fortnite's surprise Most Wanted event is here, and it builds on the structure we saw Epic unveil with last year's Dragon Ball event. Similar to events seen in games like Halo and Overwatch, the Fortnite Most Wanted event includes its own mini battle pass, complete with 13 exclusive cosmetics, culminating in a free character skin, Gold Blooded Ace.

First up, you can pick up new exotic weapons by robbing them from Cold Blooded Vaults. The only way you can get in is by killing Cold Blooded Bosses and picking up Vault Keycards. Minions also guard the vaults themselves.

If you successfully take the vault, you can pick up exotics like the Heist Breacher Shotgun, Heisted Accelerant Shotgun, Heisted Run n' Gun SMG, and the Heisted Blink Mag SMG. In addition, the update is bringing back several weapons including the Hand Cannon, Dual Pistols, Heavy Sniper, Hop Rock Dualies, Suppressed Pistol, and the Boom Sniper Rifle.

However, opening the vaults and killing opponents will raise your «Heat» level in a match. The more Heat you have, the more dangerous things get. Cold Blooded bosses will be more aggressive and other players will be able to see you on the minimap.

Heat comes with benefits too, with each Heat level granted particular bonuses. You can track how much Heat you have with flame icons on the HUD.

New reality augments will also provide aid. With the Exotic Grab Bag, you'll receive a random Heisted Exotic Weapon. Sniper Surplus gives an extra bullet in every Sniper
