How to unlock a new Umbrella in Fortnite’s Impossible Escape LTM

Get to the Choppa! And then fix it, if you want to escape…

Following a Zombie-filled weekend, Fortnite’s latest Limited Time Mode is almost like playing a whole new game. The Impossible Escape LTM sees 16 survivors wake up stranded on the Island, with a perilous journey ahead.

Free Rewards

Available from now until May 25, the Impossible Escape LTM gives players the rare opportunity to earn an exclusive Umbrella, as well as a new Loading Screen.

Secure a victory in the PvP version to add the Escapist Umbrella to your locker, or collect a dub in PvE mode to unlock the Impossible Odds Loading Screen.

So how does it work?

Depending on how friendly you’re feeling, you can pick between either a “PvP” or “PvE” version of the mode.

Regardless of your choice, you will spawn stranded on the outskirts of the map with no one in sight. Don’t panic, there are 15 others down there with you, though you can’t all be friends.

The objective is to collect the parts required to repair a Choppa and fly to safety. In the PvP edition there is just 1 helicopter to fight over, whereas in PvE mode it’s a race to be the first of 3 to take off.

Create a squad. Scavenge for parts. Survive the night. Escape before it's too late.

As you begin to explore and loot up, keep an eye out for signs of life. Emote with players to form a squad of up to 4 people and continue the challenge together.

Locate parts by searching, speaking to NPCs and completing quests. Be wary however, each time night falls, fresh threats emerge. Wildlife and AI Henchmen will do their best to ensure you never leave the Island, as will your enemies.

As soon as any squad successfully repairs a Choppa and escapes, the match will end. There can only be 1 winning team, so act fast.
