A new event just went live in Fornite and it's a crossover with the Caped Crusader, Batman. Players will have until Oct 6th to answer the Bat-signal and partake in this limited time event:
A Rift Zone has brought Gotham City to Fortnite. Of course, it wouldn’t be Gotham City if villainy didn’t come along with it. This POI lets you be the hero the citizens of Gotham City need by giving you your own Batman cape and the power of Glider Redeploy!
Some new Batman themed items have also been added to the game (read more here):
Batman Grapnel Gun
Available in Mythic variant.
Found from Floor Loot, Chests, Supply Drops, and Llamas.
The Batman Grapnel Gun comes with 10 charges. A charge is consumed each time the player is launched.
When the grappling hook from the Batman Grapnel Gun impacts something in the environment, the owner will be launched in a flat arc towards the point of impact.
At the apex of the launch, the player will deploy the Bat Cape, which can be used like any other Glider to traverse great distances.
Explosive Batarang
Available in Mythic variant.
Found from Floor Loot, Chests, Supply Drops, and Llamas.
Drops in stacks of 5.
Max stack size is 10.
This consumable item is thrown out in a relatively flat arc. It will home in towards opponents.
The projectile explodes when in close proximity to an opponent.
Explosion damage:
50 damage to players.
200 damage to the environment.
If the Explosive Batarang impacts the environment, it will stick to the spot where it lands. At that point, it behaves as a proximity mine, exploding when opponents come too close to it.
An Explosive Batarang that has impacted the environment can be disarmed and picked up by both the player who threw it or their allies.
Epic have also released the Batman Caped Crusader Pack which contains a number of B-man cosmetics (like the Batman Comic Book Outfit and The Dark Knight Movie Outfit, a new pickaxe skin and even a Batwing glider). The pack is 20 EUR or your regional equivelent:
In the shop, players will also find a new Catwoman costume as well as some other new skins:
New challenges have been released which allow players to earn free rewards like Catwing Glider and many more. These are available until Oct 1st.
