After finishing each of the week's challenges, there's a secret star on the odd numbered weeks (and a Banner on the evens) that you can find that's like...a full level i think?

I was thinking what would be a lot better in a game mode is an "Avenge the Fallen" LTM; one player manages to get the infinity gauntlet (or even...an AI controlled Thanos?) who starts attacking a group of 50/100 players. Throughout the map, there's each of the main 6 Avengers' weapons that you can get to fight Thanos (Stormbreaker, Cap's Shield, Iron Man gauntlets, maybe like Hawkeye's bow (basically a reskin of the boom bow), dual pistols/electric pistols for Widow and ...i dunno maybe like a super shield for Hulk?)

Sounds fun to me. The Hulk item can be Hulk hands that can destroy builds in one hit.

Limited Time Mode: Endgame
Summary

Thanos and his Chitauri invade the Battle Royale island, in search of the six Infinity Stones.

Mode Details

  • Endgame features a team of heroes fighting to stop Thanos and his Chitauri from claiming all six Infinity Stones.
  • Both teams respawn when eliminated until the other side completes their objective.
  • On one side is the Hero team. Heroes respawn when eliminated until the enemy team has found all six Infinity Stones.
  • Heroes start with a treasure map that leads directly to a Mythic Avengers item.
  • Other Avengers items can be found in Chests throughout the map.
  • The goal for the Hero team is to destroy the Chitauri army and defeat Thanos.
  • Team Thanos is comprised of Chitauri Invaders and Thanos himself.
  • Chitauri Invaders start with a powerful laser rifle, an anti-structure grenade attack, and a jetpack that lets them briefly leap high into the air.
  • The first Chitauri to recover an Infinity stone will be transformed into Thanos.
  • Thanos has a powerful punch, a destructive beam attack, and the ability to jump high into the air and then smash anything in his way when he comes back down.
  • Each time an Infinity Stone is claimed, Thanos' abilities grow more powerful and the Chitauri gain health.
    Reality Stone (Red) = Heath & Shields doubled (1000->2000)
    • Soul Stone (Orange) = Siphon activated (grants Thanos shields only)
    • Mind Stone (Yellow) = Jump height doubled
    • Space Stone (Blue) = Ground Pound AOE size tripled, damage x6
    • Time Stone (Green) = Big knockback added to each hit, damage x3
    • Power Stone (Purple) = Laser damage x6
  • If Thanos is eliminated from the match, another Chitauri will become him after a short wait (unless Thanos is the last one standing).
  • If Thanos & the Chitauri find all six Infinity Stones, Heroes will no longer be able to respawn.
  • The goal for Thanos and his army is to find the stones and then eliminate the remaining heroes.
Weapons + Items
  • Bug Fixes & Improvements
  • The Hold to Swap functionality is now confirmed upon releasing the Use button rather than when initially pressing it.
  • This should help with the issue of accidentally swapping.
  • If a player is eliminated by fall damage while inside a vehicle, the player that last damaged that vehicle will receive the credit for that elimination.
  • Re-enabled hit markers to be server-side authoritative instead of client-side.
    • This will help prevent instances where players see hit markers but no damage.
  • Players that were Rebooted into Rifts were teleporting into the sky but would not enter skydiving mode.
  • Vehicles weren't getting impulsed away from the Reboot Van.
  • Collision for the Reboot Van was not affecting some vehicles, allowing them to hide inside of the Reboot Van.
  • The yellow "invulnerability" effect wasn't appearing on players who were revived by the Reboot Van.
  • The Reboot Card was still playing its spawn sound even if the player disconnected.
  • Dropping inventory items while in vehicles with weapons is now blocked to prevent various camera issues.
  • Traps were occasionally being placed in the middle of a tile rather than against a wall when using Builder Pro.
  • When exiting vehicles, the equip animation will now always play before weapons can be fired.
  • This will prevent the issue where players would occasionally see themselves fire right after exiting a vehicle before the server had time to register the shot.
  • The elimination feed text will no longer display the "eliminated by ally" message if an ally interrupts a player reboot animation.
  • Fall damage was being taken when using a Jetpack (in supported Limited Time Modes) after being launched from the Pirate Cannon.
  • Players were not able to negate fall damage using a Flintlock Pistol while crouching.
  • Players couldn't see the nameplates of party member's Reboot Cards in the UI.
  • Players would not drop a Reboot Card if they were eliminated after confirming a Reboot but before their teammate actually spawned.
- Gameplay
  • Bug Fixes & Improvements
  • We've resolved an issue that was preventing the correct amount of Survival XP from being granted after games and have gifted XP to players as compensation.
    • You'll receive this compensation via the Gifting system.
Competitive
  • New Tournament - April 27 & 28: Fortnite World Cup Online Open Week 3 ($1,000,000 total prize pool!)
  • Solo Game Mode
    • Participation in this event requires both players to have reached Champion League in Arena.
    • Region Lock is in effect - players may only participate in the qualifier for a single server region each week of the Online Opens. The server region of the first match entered for that weekend's tournament will be the one the player will be locked into for that entire weekend.
    • Format:
      • April 27 - Round One: All Eligible Players.
      • April 28 - Round Two: Top 3000 Players from Round One.
  • Streaming Replays - Currently only available on PC & Mac
    • Added tournament Match History, which can be viewed by selecting a player on the leaderboards.
      • Replays can be viewed from each match that player has played.
    • Added the ability to spectate live matches during tournaments by selecting a player on the leaderboards.
      • Note: Match must have been running for 10 minutes for live replay to be available.
  • Added the ability to view a specific match by game session ID using the "View Streaming Replay" button in the Replay Browser.
  • Arena & Tournaments will now record profile stats to Solo/Duo/Squad categories rather than as an LTM.
  • Bug Fixes & Improvements
  • Players in Arena were incorrectly seeing themselves demoted to a lower division after losing Hype.
    • This was strictly a visual issue and all Hype values and division unlocks are once again being displayed correctly.
  • Tournament posters in-game were incorrectly showing certain events as starting in '2 Days'.
  • Tournament posters and the Arena Panel were not loading properly on mobile devices.
- Performance
  • Bug Fixes & Improvements

Art + Animation
We've added a unique animation for petting the dog and other Pets.

Audio

Had a quick go of the new mode, seems pretty tough for the avengers side to win. Seems fun but will need a few games for people to start getting the hang of it.

Managed to get caps shield and stormbreaker which was pretty cool though, especially using caps shield as a shield like he does when running at an enemy.

After a couple of rounds, this definitely seems to be heavily in favor of Thanos. There's honestly no reason for the chitauri to even engage the heroes outside of the battles around the stones, so 100 kills seem a bit too much.

Just had a game where I was able to grab the first infinity stone, become Thanos and stayed Thanos the entire game and won with 30 kills. I happened to get the blue stone first which gives Thanos' groundpound big aoe and basically instakill power, so I basically goomba stomped my way to victory. Very fun and silly.

Black Widow skins seems to be up! Wonder what the second Marvel skin will be.

My opinion... AND DO NOT CLICK THE SPOILER TAG IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN ENDGAME. I WARNED YOU!

..If Black Widow is the first skin then naturally it should be Stark and then Captain America next. Get my drift?? Wink wink. Nudge nudge.

Tried the new mode, you don't really need the map for the avenger weapon at the start since you find them in regular chests. Ended up with all four of them.
Ironman has autoaim so I just hover around and shoot people.

Had a game where the avengers nearly wiped out our respawns but we still won with 11 left.

Honestly I think the avengers side should get a heads up where the stones are gonna land before thanos side does. That way they can actually prepare and get there first instead of the chitari having an advantage with jetpack.

I'm a potato player who is almost exclusively Solos, and I can consistently get in the Top 5 just by being stealthy and treating it as a survival game. If you've got better aim than me (not hard) you should be able to win regularly.

I've been playing ranked a fair bit but finding it hard to get to 300, currently hovering around 250.
Are you playing on console? I'm playing with a controller but on PC and it was pretty hard to get from 280 to 300. On console it would be almost impossible without using balls I think. Now at 312 so I can start to play more freely again as you can't lose your champion status. These last few games have been incredibly tense, I was stuck at 299 for 3 games :)

People rage quitting if they're not avengers and the iron man weapon is completely OP, thanos is slow as fuck and can't get shit done really. Mode isn't balanced.

I unfortunately cannot aim! Trying to do more of the creative stuff to practice.

I keep seeing people build shit over the stones but I don't think that's even very good, it's actually pretty easy to just...sneak in as an enemy, get through a wall, build a wall and pick up the stone inside.

It also cuts off angles for people who are shooting the stone. I think Hawkeye's bow is really good (the mobility is hilarious), and you can just spam shots on the stones...until people cover it with builds. I don't really like the iron man thing, the character looks really erratic and is awkward to hit but the enemy AR is pure hitscan. Seems like you get away with murder perch behind a tree or something lobbing arrows.

According to Reddit, Epic is going to buff Thor's axe and the Chitari, and nerf the Repulsors in response. Currently Avengers are winning 60%-40%.
The mode is kinda shite, not particularly tense or exciting.
It's a tie-in variation of Team Rumble, so people are free to run around and pew pew pew everyone else.

My big problem with the Endgame LTM is that the rewards are pretty meh. Sprays and emotes don't do it for me, and I'm not sure if the Quinjet glider is worth the effort.

Same here, and it hasn't even been close. Usually the bad guys have all 6 stones and still 50+ respawns at the end. Buffing the Chitauri seems bonkers to me. If anything it should take a little longer to pick up Stones.
I think marking where the stones are going to fall first for the avengers could help, give them time to get there and defend the area instead of the first few stones being unattended due to people being spread out all over the map.

But I suppose even then your relying on random to play properly when most are just bots running around like headless chickens.

It feels fucked up that if a stone falls outside of a circle, when the storm moves in it pushes the stone to a new spot. It's harder for an avenger to get to that spot since they're already defending the original location.

The mobility of Thanos and his goons is ridiculous. It's not possible to keep up with them. And in every game I played the first stone always dropped deep into the enemies' side so they get a head start before even a few of them are killed, usually. It's way too easy for them to collect the stones as well.

I really love the new mode. It's a ton of fun and its really satisfying to find someone come in who builds a castle and just one shot it with cap's shield or stormbreaker.

I like the repulsor's lock on, an honestly, its not really that bad. a good Chitauri can easily out maneuver someone.
Stormbreaker buff is good and I think maybe making it so the Chitauri have to take longer to pick up a stone is fine, or thanos himself has to pick it up.

Somewhere.
Silver instead of gold-ish color, and it would have been perfect lol.

Already got the stone and repulsors challenge done, so aiming for that jet! Mode is just okay through. Not sure if the Chitari need a buff but the repulsors are a bit too much lol.

Excited to see what other Avenger skins comes out heh. Interested in Star Lord, but he looks pretty meh from that leaked pic. :/

Happened to me too. The Fortnite twitter acknowledged it, so they're working on it.

Yeah I caught that before I went to bed last night, but it was happening to me on any surface that wasn't grass. The low texture issue was only in Tilted.

Shit has been happening to me since last season. It only happens when I'm dropping in.

I don't remember for sure but it may have only happened after a re-deploy. Either way it seems to have been fixed

That seems to be a specific problem. My issue is the place I'm dropping in on hasn't rendered when I'm about to land.
