Epic Games has now, following its sneaky tease last Friday, revealed full details of Fortnite’s upcoming heist-themed High Stakes limited-time event, which comes to Battle Royale mode later this week.
High Stakes’ centre-piece is the new Getaway limited-time mode, which – as was revealed during Fortnite’s PAX West livestream over the weekend – is designed for squads, setting them loose across the Battle Royale map in search of jewels.
These jewels are found in safes which fall from the sky attached to Supply Drop balloons. Once a jewel has been retrieved, a team must then safely transport it to a getaway van elsewhere on the map. The first four teams to successfully get a jewel into vehicle – all while avoiding the barrage of gunfire from competing squads, of course – win the game.
