Fortnite to Bring Back Its Popular Marvel Endgame LTM

Along with OG Chapter 8, the popular Endgame LTM is also making a return to Fortnite on April 3.

In this mode, players are split into two teams – Avengers and Chitauri. The goal of Avengers is to eliminate the Chitauri, prevent them from respawning, and defeat them and Thanos.

The Chitauri, on the other hand, will have to collect Infinity Stones to disable the opposition from respawning and then defeat them.

The Endgame limited-time mode will also feature Marvel hero items such as Captain America’s Shield, Infinity Gauntlet, Thor’s Stormbreaker, Iron Man’s Combat Kit, and more.
