“Fortnite” has teamed up with Marvel for a new limited-time mode based on the recently released blockbuster “Avengers: Endgame.”
“Fortnite: Endgame” lets players use the powers of the Avengers to battle Thanos and his alien army, the Chitauri. While Thanos appeared in “Fortnite” for an “Avengers: Infinity War” event last year, “Endgame” adds four new weapons inspired by Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, and Hawkeye.
As a part of “Fortnite: Battle Royale,” Endgame is free to play on Android, iPhone, Xbox One, PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, PC, and iOS.
“Fortnite” is currently considered the most popular game in the world, with more than 250 million registered players worldwide. The Endgame mode is a prime example of how “Fortnite” has invaded popular culture, and provides a fun tie-in for casual fans of the movie to kill time for free.
Here’s what it’s like playing “Fortnite: Endgame”:

“Fortnite: Endgame” splits 40 players into two teams of 20, pitting the heroic Avengers against Thanos and his army of alien warriors.
To win, the heroes need to defeat the enemy team before Thanos can collect all six Infinity Stones, the mystic gems that control the Marvel Universe.
Unlike “Fortnite: Battle Royale,” players can respawn when killed. The Avengers team will respawn an unlimited number of times, but if Thanos collects all of the Infinity Stones, their respawns will be deactivated.
Every player on the villain team starts out as a generic Chitari warrior, but the first person on the team to find an Infinity Stone will become Thanos.
Thanos has a range of attacks at his disposal, including a super-powered punch, a beam attack, and an extra-high jump that lets him crash back into the ground for massive damage. Chitauri invaders start with a laser rifle, a grenade attack, and a jetpack that lets them launch high into the air
If Thanos is defeated, another player on the Chitauri team will automatically transform into a fresh Thanos after a few seconds. Unlike the Avengers squad, the Chitauri team is limited to 100 respawns, which means about five respawns per player.
Players on the hero team will start with a treasure map that leads them to an Avengers-themed item.
When dropping into “Endgame,” most of the usual “Battle Royale” mechanics still apply. You’ll start with an assault rifle and shotgun on the Avengers team, but you’ll want to find your special weapon right away.
Building is still available and your resources will automatically increase over time.
