Fortnite Announces Most Wanted Event Featuring Heists And New Infamy System

Looks like the leaks were right. Fortnite's latest event brings back some vaulted weapons, adds some Scandalous new quests, and even adds a "heat" system that makes it easier for other players to spot you. But the rewards for pulling this heist off will be truly primo.

First, let's go over the heist. The "Cold Blooded" syndicate has taken over the Island and has set up a number of Cold Blooded Vaults. Inside each Vault is a new Exotic weapon. Problem is, each Vault needs a Vault Keycard to open, and those Keycards only come from Cold Blooded Bosses. Find the bosses, grab their keycards (by killing them, natch), and then head to the Vault to get your new Exotic gun. Exotics will have additional perks like a shotgun that's perfect at tearing through walls or an SMG that automatically reloads when you run.

That SMG appears to be the returning P90 that leakers found in the Game files, but there are a number of returning weapons in this event, including the hand cannon, dual pistols, heavy sniper, hop rock dualies, suppressed pistol, and the boom sniper rifle. Bows are motorboats are being disabled for the duration of the event.

Opening vaults and killing opponents will also raise your "heat" level. Having any amount of heat will make Cold Blooded syndicate members more hostile, and will also make you more visible to other players on the minimap and the environment. On the plus side, having heat will give you some bonuses, like extra movement speed and regenerating Health.

But I mentioned a reward, so let's talk take. Complete Most Wanted Quests to gain Infamy, which will unlock new cosmetic rewards including the Cash Stash Back Bling, The Vault Guardian Pickaxe, and the Gold Blooded Ace Outfit. You can track your Infamy progress on the Cold Blooded logo tab in the lobby. Quests will fall under five categories, and completing most of the quests in that category will unlock the Cold Blooded Medallion. Get five medallions to unlock the Solid Skull Back Bling, which can evolve through Sold Skull Quests.

Finally, there's a leaderboard. Crack open Cold Blooded Vaults to advance on the leaderboard and unlock even more stuff. For the full details, head over to Fortnite's site here. Fortnite Most Wanted runs from now until February 28 at 2 AM ET.

The Last Of Us Show Confirms How The Virus Spread

HBO's The Last Of Us is well and truly off and running now, its second episode airing on Sunday night. That episode confirmed a fan theory regarding how exactly the cordyceps fungus was able to spread so quickly. Be warned if you haven't seen the first two episodes of the show, the rest of this article is teeming with pretty significant spoilers. Just hours after the show premiered nine days ago, fan theories started to swirl pointing to contaminated flour being the root of what quickly becomes an effectively world-ending pandemic. That theory was confirmed to be accurate during the opening few minutes of episode two. Another flashback, this time in Indonesia, during which a mycologist examines a flour factory worker infected by cordyceps.

MTG's Phyrexia: All Will Be One Card Lets You Kill Your Opponent In Just Two Turns

Magic: The Gathering’s next set, Phyrexia: All Will Be One, is currently being previewed. While we’ve seen all kinds of big, splashy cards, the one that’s given players the fear is, of all things, a tiny little Goblin Warrior. With just three cards and two lands, Cacophony Scamp can wipe an opponent out as early as turn two. Even more scarily, this combo works in both Modern and Pioneer, where it could give birth to a new take on the deck known as Hammer Time. RELATED: Magic: The Gathering – Phyrexia: All Will Be One Previews As noted on Reddit, Cacophony Scamp is an unassuming 1/1 Goblin Warrior costing just one red mana. It doesn’t have haste, but it does have two big upsides: it can sacrifice itself once it’s dealt combat damage, and when it dies, it deals damage equal to its power to any other target. THEGAMER VIDEO OF THE DAY With these two abilities, Cacophony Scamp becomes an absolute fiend when...

Mortal Kombat 11 Fans Discover Hidden Voice Line Four Years After Launch

Mortal Kombat 11 will be four years old in April, and fans are still making new discoveries. The latest is one that was teased by NetherRealm Studios senior designer Aaron Davis back in 2020, three years ago, and as it turns out, he was hinting at a hidden voice line. "For people who like hidden stuff in MK Game s, there's something in MK11 I put in that hasn't been found yet from what I can tell," Davis tweeted (as reported by Euro Game r). "Only hint I'll give is it's done inside a match and it's been there since day 1, so not DLC related." RELATED: Marvel’s Midnight Suns' Abbey Is The Perfect Mix Of Hades And Mortal Kombat YouTuber Waz, on February 19, revealed that, after four years, the mystery had finally been cracked, and it's an old-school style easter egg.
