Heat Level
One of the new mechanics for the Fortnite Most Wanted event is Heat Level. This is represented by new icons that show up on the HUD. Heat Level dictates how visible the player is to the opponents as having a higher Heat Level makes the player show up on the minimap more often.
Heat Level is gained when another player is eliminated, a vault is opened or a burner payphone is answered in Cold-Blooded controlled areas. Having a high heat level enables the player to gain boons which can help them out during the match. However, players should learn to balance these boons with the risks since you are essentially giving all your opponents free information on your location and everyone is always hungry for a kill. The boons of each heat level are listed below.
Heat Level 1 – Eliminated opponents drop additional bars.
Heat Level 2 – Increases your movement speed by 15%, and you’ll regenerate up to 100 health out of combat.
Heat Level 3 – Increases your movement speed by 20%, and you’ll regenerate up to 100 health and 50 shields out of combat.
Heat Level 4 – Increases your movement speed by 25%, and you’ll regenerate up to 100 health and 100 shields out of combat.
Cold Blooded Vaults
For the Fortnite Most Wanted event, there will be three cold blooded vaults placed around the map. These cold blooded vaults will contain event exclusive exotics. These vaults are located at Shattered Slabs, Brutal Bastion and Faulty Splits.
To open these vaults, a keycard is needed. The keycard can be obtained through defeating a boss that is located near the location of the vault. These bosses will have a massive health pool so the reward for taking them down is the keycard which will reward the player with banger event exclusive exotics.
Fortnite Most Wanted Exotic Weapons
The event exclusive exotics can be obtained by unlocking the cold blooded vaults using the vault keycards dropped by the bosses that guard these cold blooded vaults. The event's exclusive exotics are listed below.
Heisted Breacher Shotgun – Busts down builds easily.
Heisted Explosive Assault Rifle – Fires explosive projectiles.
Heisted Accelerant Shotgun – Increases movement speed and fire rate as you damage enemies.
Heisted Run ‘N' Gun SMG – Infuses you with Slap and self-reloads while sprinting
Heisted Blink Mag SMG – Grants Zero Dash ability after reloading.
Fortnite Most Wanted Leaderboard Challenge
In addition to the multitude of awards already offered by the Fortnite Most Wanted event, there are still additional awards that can be obtained. Starting February 16, additional awards can be obtained through unlocking as many cold blooded vaults as you can. Through unlocking these many cold blooded vaults, the player will be able to climb the leaderboard and be able to earn additional prized cosmetic items. The cosmetic items that can be obtained from climbing the leaderboards are listed down below.
GG Flamed Emoticon
Live to Ride Spray
Retro Rivals Wrap
Clean Getaway Loading Screen
With that said, the majority of the event has been covered. While there is still some missing information, this will be updated as more quests and challenges are unlocked. With Fortnite Most Wanted being one of the bigger events considering that it isn’t even a season launch or season finale, this is one of the events players should not think of even missing.
