Fortnite is known for bringing exquisite content to its players. And yet again Epic Games are doing so through the V23.40. After the massive Chapter 4 introduction, the game is introducing yet another theme into the game. This time around the game is bringing in the Most Wanted style. So put on your “Cold Blooded” persona and get ready for the new adventure the battle royale game offers.

Here is a rundown of everything that is officially announced regarding the new update.

Fortnite: The new ‘notorious’ Most Wanted update

There are quite a few new introductions in this brand-new update. And it surely will pique the interest of the metaverse community. The new narrative is that the Cold Blooded syndicate has taken over the island and hidden exotic weapons in various vaults across the map.

Exotic Guns

The brand-new update is bringing a wide array of new exotic guns into the game. These can be achieved by finding the Vault key-cards. You can find them after defeating the Cold-Blooded bosses and their mercenaries. The list of guns that are available for you to grab is as follows:

• Heisted Breacher Shotgun
• Heisted Explosive Assault Rifle
• Heisted Accelerant Shotgun
• Heisted Run ‘n’ Gun SMG
• Heisted Blink Mag SMG

These are the wide array of guns that are at your disposal if you manage to take out the bosses and the guards. Remember that the drop rates of these would be randomized.

Apart from these new introductions, the game is bringing back a plethora of popular weapons which once were featured in the game. Players can avail the Hand Canon, Dual Pistols, Heavy Sniper, Hop Rock Dualies, Suppressed Pistol and Boom Sniper Rifle. These would be available until the Most Wanted season ends.

Heat-up mode – The new feature

During the course of the event, there is a new feature called the ‘Heat’ which players can track in-game. These Heat flames can be seen in the HUD, and increasing this would make the guards more hostile towards you. At certain Heat levels, you become more visible to other players. Sounds like you need to keep a low-key heat level to have an edge in the matches. But increasing the level has benefits of its own.

One heat level means if you drop opponents, the bar increases fast. Two flames indicate that your movement speed is increased by 15% and you even heal 100% when not in combat. In level 3, players will have a 20% speed increase with health regeneration at 100 and shield up to 50 when not in combat. The final 4 flames indicate a movement speed increase of 25% with health and shield regeneration up to 100.

New Augments and Realities in Most Wanted

Four new reality augments are being added to the game.

• Exotic Grab Bag – You will receive a random heist exotic weaponry.
• Sniper Surplus – 1 extra ammo in your sniper rifles
• Key Master – Receive 2 keys that can be used to open Holo-chests
• Last Shots – The remaining last 2 bullets in the player’s pistol deals extra damage.

Remember that these augments will be removed post the Most Wanted event. So make sure you try them out before it gets vaulted out.

New Outfit and Cosmetics

Players can also grab the new cosmetic line that is brought in with the event. To unlock this, players need to increase their Infamy levels. For doing so, you need to complete the Most Wanted quests that are present in the game. Completing these will help the players get Cash Stash Back Bling, The Vault Guardian Pickaxe, and the Gold Blooded Ace Outfit. The most highlighting factor about these is that they are completely free!

The Most Wanted Quests

So, the aforementioned quests help you to take a closer step toward these interesting cosmetics. But the quests themselves are compartmentalized. That is, the quest section is divided into 5 segments- Intel and Recon, Going In Loud, Going in Quiet, Cracking the Vault and Clean Getaway.

Completing the majority of the quests in these sections will unlock the next. Additionally, this would also grant players a Cold Blooded Medallion. This is an important item that players receive from completing the event quests.

Players will have to collect 5 such Cold Blooded Medallions for unlocking the Solid Skull back bling. Moreover, after gaining this exquisite item, players can upgrade the level of the back bling by completing the Solid Skull quests. Note that you can complete these questions until the end of Chapter 4, Season 1.

The Leaderboards

If you are eager to gain more rewards, keep an eye out for the leaderboards. The Most Wanted Leaderboards Challenge is what players need to complete to cruise up the ladder. So be ready to open up as many vaults as you can after the event goes live to get your name on that precious yet notorious leaderboard.

More updates other than the event

An NA-Central server has been launched. This is to ensure that players from Mexico and Central United States receive lower latency. An issue that has been a constant dilemma for players from these regions. Furthermore, Hardware identifiers have been updated to notice any infringement on the hardware like altercations. The consequences can add up to a permanent ban in the game.

Finally, Motorboats, Bow weapons, and bow-related augments that have been in the game are excluded. This would be in effect till the end of the Most Wanted season.

So pull up your sleeves and be battle-ready for the new intriguing event that will soon hit the Metaverse.
