John Wick Comes To Fortnite With Wick's Bounty LTM
John Wick, the iconic assassin popularized by Keanu Reeves, has infiltrated Fortnite in Patch v9.01.
As part of the crossover, Epic has introduced a new Limited Time Mode: Wick's Bounty. "The High Table has opened a new contract. It's up to you to collect the bounty," says the official announcement. "Stay alive and collect gold tokens by eliminating the other bounty hunters. The first one to fulfill the order wins, but be careful how far ahead you get, as you will become a target for everyone else."
In the Wick's Bounty LTM, all players start with several gold tokens. You collect more tokens by eliminating enemy bounty hunters. The first squad to hit a designated number of tokens wins; however, distinguishing yourself too early comes with greater risk. The more tokens you have, the more visible your are on the map, with the top 3 bounty hunters visible on the map and compass at all times.
Players can earn Wick-flavored rewards by completing challenges during the event. The free swag up for grabs includes the Gold Token Back Bling, One Shot Glider, and Boogeyman Wrap. You can also purchase the John Wick Set from the Fortnite shop. The full set contains the John Wick skin and Assassin Pack back bling, Simple Sledge, Assassin Wrap, Be Seeing You emote, and Bulletproof emote.
Fans who want more John Wick in their life can pre-purchase John Wick Hex from the Epic Games Store. Developed by Bithell Games, the action-strategy game will feature an original story augmented by new weapons and locations. As part of the Epic Mega Sale, you can pre-order John Wick Hex for $7.99 between now and June 13, a $12 savings.
The Fortnite X John Wick: Wick's Bounty event preludes the third installment of the film franchise. Opening in theaters tomorrow, John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum follows the assassin as he goes on the run after killing a member of the international assassin's guild. With a $14 million price tag on his head, the hunter becomes the hunted.
