Fortnite continues to amaze its player base with exciting crossovers, and this time, it has joined forces with the beloved Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (TMNT). The Fortnite Cowabunga event is taking players on a nostalgic journey, offering new skins, in-game quests, and the opportunity to wield the Turtles’ iconic melee weapons. Let’s dive into the details of this epic crossover and discover what it has in store for players.
The Fortnite Cowabunga event is now live and will run until February 27th, marking the end of Chapter 5 Season 1. Similar to previous events like Star Wars and Jiujitsu Kaisen mini-passes, the Cowabunga Pass acts as an additional mini battle pass introduced towards the end of the season. Epic Games seems to have found success with these events, as they continue to engage players and keep the game fresh season after season.
Within the TMNT pass, players can unlock various items within both the free and paid tiers. In the free tier, players have the chance to acquire the TMNT Pizza back bling, Kuro Kabuto bass guitar, and the Turtle Blimp glider, among others. Purchasing the paid tier unlocks additional items, including instant access to the Shredder skin. Moreover, completing the paid tier rewards players with the Super Shredder skin, which features exciting Lego variants.
Splinter, the mentor and father figure to the Turtles, makes an appearance in the item shop, complete with his own Lego-style design. Additionally, April O’Neil and the Turtles themselves have returned to the item shop, enabling fans to add these iconic characters to their collection.
The heart of the Cowabunga event lies in its in-game challenges, known as Quests. Each completed quest grants players Ooze, a currency that helps unlock the mini-pass items. By accumulating enough Ooze throughout the event’s six phases of challenges, players can also earn the event’s coveted bonus item, the Krang back bling. Longtime fans will surely remember Krang as the talking brain from the classic TMNT cartoon.
To guide players through the event’s various challenges, including an “impossibly difficult trick on a Driftboard,” we have prepared a comprehensive guide to ensure success in completing each quest. So, keep an eye out for that!
In the Cowabunga event, players will have the chance to wield the Turtles’ legendary melee weapons. All four weapons, each with distinct stats and abilities, will be available as loot in the battle royale and Zero Build modes. These weapons offer players the ability to perform devastating attacks, agile aerial maneuvers, swift dash attacks, and even execute double jumps. Comparable to the Star Wars lightsabers of previous crossovers, these TMNT weapons have the potential to shake up the game’s meta during their availability.
Excitingly, players will find these weapons in chests, Supply Drops, and vending machines scattered throughout the Fortnite island. Furthermore, Driftboards have been unvaulted and given a TMNT makeover, and the Pizza Party healing item also makes a delightful return. Because what’s a TMNT event without pizza?
The Fortnite Cowabunga event has delivered yet another sensational crossover experience for players to enjoy. With new skins to acquire, a plethora of in-game quests to complete, and the opportunity to wield the Turtles’ iconic weapons, players are in for an exhilarating time. The TMNT and Fortnite collaboration showcases the continued dedication of Epic Games to provide fresh and engaging content for its loyal player base. So, gear up, embrace the power of the heroes in a half-shell, and let the Cowabunga event take your Fortnite experience to new heights!
