Fortnite and Marvel are gearing up for another crossover event, this time involving Marvel's upcoming Avengers game and can help you catch the new Hulk Smashers pickaxe. All you'll have to do is participate in the closed and open betas for Marvel's Avengers to unlock the new item for free.
It also comes with a Hulkbuster variant of the hands.
You won't have to pay for the game to get the Hulk Smasher, as the open beta will be available to everyone. Closed beta requires pre-order. Therefore, if you want to extend the duration of the beta, you can always pre-order it and then cancel it after you finish.
This promotion is only available for Xbox One and Playstation 4, so unfortunately PC gamers don't have a chance to get it for free.
The beta times and dates for both consoles are as follows:
- August 7-9: PlayStation 4 pre-order beta
- Marvel Avengers PlayStation 4 pre-order players only
- August 14-16: PlayStation 4 Open Beta
- August 14-16: Xbox One Pre-Order Beta
- Xbox One Marvel Avengers Pre-Order Players Only
- August 21-23: Open beta on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One
In the beta, you'll need to complete three HARM challenges on either platform in order to get the new harvesting tool. You will also need to link your PSN or Xbox Live accounts to your Epic Games and Square Enix accounts.
If you miss the beta, you will still be able to purchase the Gathering Tool from the Item Shop at a later date.
It's another cross between Fortnite and Marvel, with the two having collaborated a few times in the past. Recently, Deadpool was part of the second season for Fortnite: Chapter 2. Marvel was also an early collaborator with Fortnite when a limited-time Thanos mode was added to the game to celebrate the release of Infinity War.
Fortnite is now available on PC, Xbox One, Playstation 4, Switch, Android, and iOS.
Avengers de Marvel sera available on PC, Xbox Series X, Xbox One, Playstation 5, Playstation 4 et Stadia.
