Jump into the Fortnite Most Wanted update for crazy gameplay changes, deadly new weapons, and the chance to unlock the free Gold Blooded Ace skin.
The biggest content patch of Chapter 4 has arrived. From now until February 28, play the Fortnite Most Wanted event in both Battle Royale and Zero Build modes.
Fortnite Most Wanted Event
Cold Blooded Bosses and their minions are now guarding new Cold Blooded Vaults around the Island. Take them out to loot Heisted Exotic weapons with some powerful effects.
As you open vaults and eliminate enemies, your “Heat” Level will increase. This will make you visible to opponents on the minimap and easier to see, but notoriety also has its benefits:
Heat Level 1 - Eliminated opponents drop more Bars.
Heat Level 2 – Your movement speed increases by 15%, and you’ll regenerate up to 100 Health out of combat.
Heat Level 3 – Your movement speed increases by 20%, and you’ll regenerate up to 100 Health and 50 Shield out of combat.
Heat Level 4 – Your movement speed increases by 25%, and you’ll regenerate up to 100 Health and 100 Shield out of combat.
