Fortnite update 23.40 patch notes
The Most Wanted event begins
A new event called Most Wanted will begin following the v23.40 update. Players will need to complete Most Wanted Quests, increase their Infamy level, and earn Cold Blooded Medallions.
Doing this will progress you along a reward track that includes cosmetics like the Solid Skull Back Bling and the Cold Blooded Ace Skin – all for free!
This event also introduces a Heat system that increases when you eliminate opponents. As your Heat Level rises, Cold Blooded NPCs will become more aggressive and you’ll be visible to other players on the map.
