Fortnite update 8.50: Fortnite Endgame is coming and more news

All the news of Fortnite Endgame, the new limited game mode of Fortnite, as well as the rest of the adjustments that come with update 8.50. If you liked controlling Thanos last year with the Infinity War crossover, you should know that the crazy titan returns to the Epic game.

New week, new Fortnite update . Epic Games has not released an intermediate update this week (which is what it would touch), but the patch 8.50 of Fortnite, which comes with news in which game modes are concerned, as well as various fixes on Fortnite systems and, how no, a new union with the Avengers.

Avengers Endgame is the new great Disney movie, the one that will close the events that started in 2008 and that left us hallucinating last year with Infinity War. And yes, we have already seen Avengers Endgame and we tell you our feelings in the criticism .

Going back to Fortnite patch 8.50 , as expected, there is new content related to The Avengers. Over the past few days, Epic has been leaving clues to the arrival of Avengers Endgame in Fortnite , and we finally know what it is about.

Considering Thanos’ success in Fortnite in 2018 , this union was more than natural, and below we tell you all the details of the new update 8.50 of Fortnite.

Fortnite Battle Royale

Although Fortnite currently has three game modes, the most popular is still Fortnite Battle Royale. It’s where Epic’s greatest efforts are concentrated in each update, and that shows.

Next, we leave you all the Fortnite news detailed on the Epic blog .

LIMITED TIME MODE: FORTNITE ENDGAME

Thanos and his chitauri have invaded the island of Battle Royale in search of the six Infinity Stones.

Mode details

• In Endgame, a group of heroes fight to stop Thanos and his chitauri before they get the six Infinity Stones.
• Both teams will reappear when eliminated until the other side completes its objective.
• The first side is the team of heroes. Heroes will reappear when eliminated until the enemy team has found all six Infinity Stones.
• Heroes start with a treasure map that tells them where the mythical items from the Avengers are located.
• The rest of the Avengers’ items are found in chests scattered across the map.
• The goal of the hero team is to destroy the Chitauri army and defeat Thanos.
• For its part, the Thanos team is made up of the Chitauri invaders and Thanos himself.
• The Chitauri invaders begin the game with a powerful laser rifle, anti-structure grenades, and a thruster that allows them to briefly leap into the air.
• The first chitauri to retrieve an Infinity gem will transform into Thanos.
• Thanos has a powerful punch, a destructive beam, and the ability to soar into the air and then smash whatever is in his way as he falls.
• If Thanos is eliminated from the game, another Chitauri will become him after a short period of time (unless Thanos is the last one left).
• If Thanos and his chitauri find the six Infinity Stones, the heroes will not be able to reappear.
• The objective of Thanos and his army is to find the gems and eliminate the rest of the heroes.

Furthermore, gems have different powers:

• Reality Stone (red) = health and duplicate shields (1000-> 2000)
• Soul Gem (orange) = activated siphon (grants shields only to Thanos)
• Mind Gem (yellow) = double jump height
• Space Gem (blue) = size of area of ​​effect of tripled landing, damage x6
• Time Gem (green) = big boost added to each hit, damage x3
• Power Gem (purple) = laser damage x6

WEAPONS AND OBJECTS

Bug fixes and improvements

• If a player is eliminated by taking fall damage inside a vehicle, the last player to damage this vehicle will be the one who receives the elimination credit.

• Players who restarted within cracks teleported to the sky, but did not enter parachute mode.
• Vehicles were not propelled away from the reset van.
• The collision of the reset van did not affect some vehicles, allowing them to hide inside it.
