Fortnite Adds New Marvel Avengers: Endgame Event

After multiple teases this past week, Epic Games have announced details on a new Marvel Avengers: Endgame limited time mode for its smash hit game, Fortnite.

Thanos and his Chitauri are invading the Fortnite Battle Royale island searching for the six Infinity Stones. It’s up to players to acquire the Avengers: Endgame items scattered throughout the map, and take the fight to him.

During this Fortnite Endgame event, players will be able to complete challenges to acquire free rewards like Sprays, Banners and the Avengers Quinjet Glider.

Players can also purchase two Marvel sets: the first set includes the Black Widow Outfit plus Widow’s Pack, Widow’s Bite Pickaxe and Widow’s Pirouette Emote! The second Outfit set arrives early next week.

Here are the details on the new Endgame mode:

Endgame features a team of heroes fighting to stop Thanos and his Chitauri from claiming all six Infinity Stones.

• Both teams respawn when eliminated until the other side completes their objective.

• On one side is the Hero team. Heroes respawn when eliminated until the enemy team has found all six Infinity Stones.

• Heroes start with a treasure map that leads directly to a Mythic Avengers item.

• Other Avengers items can be found in Chests throughout the map.

• The goal for the Hero team is to destroy the Chitauri army and defeat Thanos.

• Team Thanos is comprised of Chitauri Invaders and Thanos himself.

• Chitauri Invaders start with a powerful laser rifle, an anti-structure grenade attack, and a jetpack that lets them briefly leap high into the air.

• The first Chitauri to recover an Infinity stone will be transformed into Thanos.

• Thanos has a powerful punch, a destructive beam attack, and the ability to jump high into the air and then smash anything in his way when he comes back down.

• Each time an Infinity Stone is claimed, Thanos’ abilities grow more powerful and the Chitauri gain health.

• Reality Stone (Red) = Heath & Shields doubled (1000->2000)

• Soul Stone (Orange) = Siphon activated (grants Thanos shields only)

• Mind Stone (Yellow) = Jump height doubled

• Space Stone (Blue) = Ground Pound AOE size tripled, damage x6

• Time Stone (Green) = Big knockback added to each hit, damage x3

• Power Stone (Purple) = Laser damage x6

• If Thanos is eliminated from the match, another Chitauri will become him after a short wait (unless Thanos is the last one standing).

• If Thanos & the Chitauri find all six Infinity Stones, Heroes will no longer be able to respawn.

• The goal for Thanos and his army is to find the stones and then eliminate the remaining heroes.
