Fortnite‘s Most Wanted event is now underway, bringing with it plenty of cosmetics to unlock on the way to scoring a free skin. Of course, it won’t be easy–you’ll need to undertake a variety of challenges over the next two weeks to snag it all. You’ve got until February 28 to make it happen, and we’ll fill you in on everything you need to know so you can make the most of your time.
The Most Wanted event comes packing a huge selection of limited-time cosmetics to earn, but they’ll require you to increase your Infamy to unlock them all. Infamy is obtained by completing Most Wanted quests (more on those below), and you’ll need to finish all of the challenges if you want to score the ultimate prize of the Gold Blooded Ace skin.
If you really want to, you can unlock all of these cosmetics, including the skin, for 1,800 V-Bucks (about $14), but they’re all earnable for free. If you’re going that route, keep reading.
You’ll need to complete challenges, which will unlock throughout the event, to earn all of the cosmetics. For each set of challenges you complete, you’ll snag a Cold Blooded Medallion, and you’ll need all five of them to unlock the bonus Solid Skull back bling.

You may have noticed some new icons showing up on your HUD to indicate that your Heat level has risen. This goes up each time you eliminate an opponent or open a Cold Blood Vault (more on that below). We’ll explain everything you need to know in our How Heat Works guide.
There are three Cold Blooded Vaults located around the map during the Most Wanted event, and they’ll contain event-specific exotics (listed in the next section). There are vaults at Shattered Slabs, Brutal Bastion, and Faulty Splits. You’ll need a keycard to open a vault, though, and those are dropped by the boss with a massive health bar that you’ll run into near the vault’s location. Take them down and use the keycard on the door to get to that sweet loot.
These new exotic weapons are unique to the Most Wanted event and can be retrieved by using Vault Keycards at Cold Blooded Vaults or by taking down the bosses guarding each vault.
You can earn additional rewards starting Feb 16 by unlocking as many Cold Blooded Vaults as you can. This will help you climb the leaderboards and earn the following cosmetic items.
This is certainly one of the biggest events Fortnite has ever featured outside of season launches or finales, so get in there and grab all the rewards and check out the many new gameplay features.
