WhenFortnitefirst revealed the newHigh Stakes event, which includes an upcoming Getaway LTM, the Wild Card outfit, and some High Stakes challenges, many were excited to see what this new event would bring to the battle island. Considering there has been a number of new additions as of late, including the mysterious cube traveling around the island, this event is likely to fit right in.
Concerning the forthcoming event,Fortnitehas seen fit to preview the limited time mode, giving players their first glimpse at how the LTM will work. The job, as the LTM is described, is to find the 4 safes dropped onto the island via supply drops., crack the safe to obtain a large jewel, and get away with the goods. Of course, carrying the jewel makes the player a target, but the first four teams to make their way to a getaway van win.
It also seems that the safe takes longer to crack than a typical supply drop does to open, meaning that whoever is opening the safe also becomes a target. This makes sense considering the overall event is entitled High Stakes. Check out the Getaway LTM preview below:
However, this is not the only change coming to the battle island with this High Stakes event. It appears the game is also adding a grappling hook, which should be an effective getaway item. Alternatively, it could be used to close the distance and eliminate an enemy. Considering theRift-To-Go itemwas added just two weeks ago, it seems safe to assume that mobility is becoming the name of the game.
Once the LTM goes live, it’ll be interesting to see how the mode works and all the new additions that come with it. In the meantime, the Season 5 Week 8 challenges are live, so players still working on those shouldcheck out this guide.
Fortniteis available in early access on Android, iOS, PC, PS4, Switch, and Xbox One.
