Fortnite x Avengers

Earlier this week, Epic Games released a new Limited Time Mashup which also involves the latest Avengers movie which came out last week. In this game mode, a meteor lands on the map and drops the Infinity Gauntlet which has all six infinity stones on it. If you pick up the gauntlet, you will transform into Thanos who is the main antagonist of Avengers: Infinity War and have different abilities to use.

Any player can pick it up, but will have to drop all of their items, won’t be able to build, go through doors, or use launch pads. Originally on the day of the release, while transformed as Thanos you’d have 300 shield and 700 health. Your shield will replenish after every kill, but your health cannot be replenished though. However, as of now, you’ll only have 200 shield and 800 health. As Thanos, you don’t take fall damage and you have four abilities to use. Your first ability allows you to punch and it destroys walls, floors, and ramps in just one hit. The second ability allows you to fly towards the ground if you’re in the air and does the same effects as the first ability. The third ability allows you to shoot a beam in the air or on the ground that deals damage although you are immobile whilst doing so. Your last ability allows you to jump higher than normal after a charge up effect. There are a few other changes to weapon drops and things like that, but you can read more about it on their patch notes page here.

I haven’t gotten a chance to play this game mode yet but it looks pretty interesting. If you’re worried about spoilers for the movie by playing this game mode I don’t think you have to worry since most of the things featured are already common knowledge within the Marvel community.
