Fortnite has released their newest event, and it's chock full of fresh experiences and rewards. The event, called High Stakes, brings a host of new cosmetics centered around the heist theme. Some of the cosmetics can only be purchased from the store, but others can be earned by completing challenges in the new limited time mode.
The new limited time mode is called Getaway, and brings a whole new spin to battle royale. Players squad up and drop on the same island they know and love, but now there are four safes scattered around the map loaded into supply drops. It's up to your group to find a safe, get the llama jewel, and then make your way to a van to escape the island. Sounds easy enough, but of course you'll have to fight a whole host of enemy players on your way.
If you're looking to pick up some cool cosmetics (or just some XP), here are the challenges associated with the Getaway mode:
Personally, I think I'll find myself loading up Fortnite this weekend. I love to earn new cosmetics and this mode just sounds like a really good time, especially if you can get a group of friends together. Looking forward to see how it plays.
