Epic Games Announces New Fortnite: Battle Royale Event with Free Challenges and Rewards
Epic Games has just revealed an exciting new event for Fortnite: Battle Royale called Buccaneer’s Bounty. This event, which is part of the v8.30 update, will feature free challenges and exclusive rewards for players to enjoy. The complete list of challenges will be available once the update is deployed and the servers are back online.
Event Details and Duration
The Buccaneer’s Bounty event will begin today and will run until April 15. Each day, players will have the opportunity to test their skills in fresh Limited Time Modes in order to complete the challenges and earn rewards. It is currently unclear whether all challenges will be available at once or if they will be unlocked progressively as the event goes on.
Increased Spawn Rate of Treasure Maps
Players who participate in the Buccaneers’s Bounty challenges will notice that the spawn rate of Treasure Maps has been increased for the duration of the event. It remains uncertain whether this item is directly related to the challenges or if it plays a role in the overarching story of the event.
Fortnite Season Eight Special Event
Buccaneer’s Bounty appears to be the special event for Season Eight of Fortnite. Epic Games typically introduces events with free challenges and rewards for players midway through each season. Unlike Season Seven, which featured zombies in standard game modes, it seems that the focus of this event is different.
Although it is still unclear, one question that remains is whether Buccaneer’s Bounty is connected to the mysteries surrounding the digging sites and the helicopter.
