Epic Games has released the details for Fortnite patch v11.50, and it’s bringing a tie-in event with Birds of Prey, themed skins and challenges, and a new limited time mode (via PC Gamer).
Fortnite has celebrated countless crossover events, such as John Wick, Stranger Things, Batman, and Star Wars. Birds of Prey (and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn), or simply Birds of Prey, will descend upon Fortnite in its own crossover event and it will come with new skins and challenges to paint the town red. Here’s one, courtesy of leaker Lucas7yoshi.

Players will be able to unlock the skin if they partake in three of the Harley Quinn challenges. These include hitting weak points, dealing damage with pickaxes, and placing in the top 10, 20, and 30 in solos, duos, or squads.

There will be a Valentine’s Day-themed limited time mode, titled “Love & War.” I’m assuming that not all is fair in the mode, in keeping with a battle royale, but there’s plenty to keep players busy and reward their efforts with backgrounds, banners, emotes, and sprays. In addition, the game is now using Unreal Engine’s Chaos physics system, which was the reason why Season 2 of Chapter 2 got delayed. Epic Games is seeking feedback regarding the switch, as the developer wants to “ensure that Fortnite still feels like what you would expect.” Patch v11.50 implements a collection of fixes and quality-of-life features, which are able to be viewed here.
Fortnite is out now on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, PC, iOS, and Android.
