Avengers: Endgame Fortnite Challenges And Balance Patch - Use Thor's Stormbreaker, Iron Man's Repulsors, And More

Thanos demands your Battle Stars.

3 Comments

Avengers: Endgame is out and brings the 10-year Infinity Saga arc to a close. And just as it did to coincide with the previous Marvel blockbuster, Avengers: Infinity War, Epic Games has introduced an Avengers crossover event into its multiplayer battle royale game Fortnite.

The new Endgame LTM splits players into two teams. One team will be aligned with Thanos and the Chitauri, while the others will be taking on the role of the heroes. Team Thanos must find all the Infinity Stones and power up the mad titan so he can decimate the enemy forces, while the heroes can locate and equip weapons used by the Avengers to bring Thanos and his army down.

Now Playing: Fortnite Avengers Endgame LTM Is Here - GS News Update

Just like the last Marvel crossover event, though, Epic has quickly noticed some balance problems and issued a hotfix to address them. This time it's the Avengers getting the majority of the changes. Thor's ground pound, bash, and throw damage have all been increased. Iron Man's gauntlet blast damage was lowered, as was the health gain per infinity stone.

Tying into the LTM is a set of challenges which, when completed, will unlock some really cool cosmetic rewards. Arguably the most exciting is a new Glider that is modeled after the Quinjet. There are also sprays, emoticons, and banners themed after the franchise. The initial three challenges are available now, and involve using Iron Man's repulsors to do damage, collecting three Infinity Stones, and playing seven Endgame LTM matches. More challenges will become available every two days, and you can take a look at the rewards on offer below.

Separately from the Endgame LTM, Epic is also selling some Avengers-inspired cosmetic items through Fortnite's in-game store. First is a Black Widow skin, harvesting tool, and emote, but those will only be available until later today, April 25. However, Epic says that a second Avengers set will be added to the store "early next week."

In our Avengers: Endgame review, Michael Rougeau described the movie as "a love letter to the entire MCU--the whole thing." He continued: "It's messy and confusing, and there's going to be a lot of discussion about whether the ending even makes sense ... but holy hell is it an emotional, fulfilling ride. I have no doubt we're going to spend the coming weeks picking and pulling it apart until we've over-analyzed every single aspect imaginable. But right now, in the aftermath, Avengers Endgame feels like a win."

If you still have some time before you're able to see the movie, we recommend checking out our guide for how to avoid Avengers: Endgame spoilers online. Staying unspoiled is trickier than you might think, but we've got some very handy tricks that will help.
