Epic Games updates Fortnite again with very, very interesting news. Version 5.40 arrives with a live event that includes a game mode, new legendary skin, challenges, and new items . Next, we tell you all the news of "Everything at stake".
One of the most complete game modes in Fortnite is here. It's called The Flight. In this mode that will be played in squad, safes will appear on the map. These have to be opened and a diamond flame that is inside must be collected. If we succeed, we must escape to some vans and "get on them" we must complete a total of 4 vans to win the game. The flame will become a kind of backpack that also takes up space in the weapons inventory, so other players can see it on its rival. If the team is eliminated, that flame will appear on the ground and can be picked up to complete the escape and win the game.
Other interesting details of this game is the new weapon, a Grappler or suction cup hook that facilitates the escape. This gun can be fired and will launch a rope with a limpet that hooks into the walls like a sticky grenade. The player will be able to propel himself through that limpet and arrive before. Perfect, for example, for climbing structures.
Skins, challenges and rewards
With this game mode also comes a new Skin , a man dressed in a white suit and customizable Poker masks . This Skin can be found in the store and will also come with a hang glider and backpack.
In addition, Fortnite has launched an event with different challenges to get a peak related to the game mode, experience points, or fall effect and a Poker graffiti . These are free as long as we complete the challenges . Also, you won't need to have the battle pass. These are the challenges that you will need to complete.
- To earn 5,000 XP : Play 10 games of The Escape
- If you want to get the graffiti : Deal 500 damage to opponents who have the jewel
- To get the drop effect: Collect a jewel in 5 different games
When you complete all the challenges, Fortnite will give you the pick in the shape of a lever.
