Hot on the heels of the season 4 update, Fortnite has now introduced a limited-time event called the Infinity Gauntlet Limited Time Mashup. As the name indicates, Epic Games have partnered with MCU for this Avengers: Infinity Wars tie-in.

After updating the game to v4.1, you will be able to play as Thanos with the Infinity Gauntlet as your weapon of choice. The Infinity Gauntlet will be delivered early in the game, with the first player who gets it will transform into Thanos. If this player is eliminated, the Gauntlet falls to the ground and can be picked up by another player. If it is not picked up for a long time, it will disappear and only appear when another meteor appears.

It is important to note that you can only jump into the Infinity Gauntlet mode as a solo player.

Below is the partial patch note of the game which highlights other changes as well.

• Take down Thanos, equip the Gauntlet and claim Victory!
• Mashup Details
  • Early in the match, a meteor will land in the storm safe zone, delivering the Infinity Gauntlet.
  • Any player who uses the Infinity Gauntlet will transform into Thanos.
  • Stats are recorded for this LTM and can be found in the Solo tab.
  • If Thanos is eliminated, the Gauntlet will fall to the ground, free for the taking. If it sits unused for too long, it will disappear until another meteor appears.
  • Last player standing will be the victor!
• Thanos Details
  • Ability 1 – A mighty punch that knocks enemies back and destroys structures.
