Fortnite players and fans of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (TMNT) are in for a treat as these two beloved franchises once again unite in an epic crossover event. The Fortnite Cowabunga event brings the Turtles’ iconic characters, along with their arch-nemesis and mentor, to the game as new skins and exciting in-game quests. With a range of unlockable cosmetics and TMNT loot, this event promises an action-packed experience. Let’s delve into the details and everything you need to know about the Fortnite Cowabunga event.
The Fortnite Cowabunga event is already live and will continue for several weeks, concluding on February 27 at 6 AM PT / 9 AM ET. Epic Games, the creator of Fortnite, has been known to introduce such mini-battle pass events towards the end of each season. This trend, previously witnessed in the Star Wars and Jiujitsu Kaisen mini-passes, allows players to enjoy additional content before the season’s conclusion. The TMNT pass offers a range of items within both its free and paid tiers, adding a layer of customization to your Fortnite experience.
In the free tier, players can unlock various items, including the TMNT Pizza back bling, Kuro Kabuto bass guitar, and the Turtle Blimp glider, among others. On the other hand, purchasing the paid tier will grant access to additional items, including the Shredder skin with its Lego variant. Completing the paid tier also unlocks the formidable Super Shredder skin. Moreover, the beloved mentor and father figure of the Turtles, Splinter, makes an appearance in the item shop, complete with his Lego-style design. Fans can also find April O’Neil and the Turtles themselves, all available for purchase in the item shop during this remarkable event.
The Cowabunga event is not just about skins and cosmetics; it also introduces a wide array of in-game challenges, known as Quests. By completing these quests, players earn Ooze, a valuable resource within the event. As you accumulate Ooze, you’ll unlock various mini-pass items, enhancing your experience and allowing you to fully embrace the Turtle power. Additionally, each of the event’s six phases of challenges presents an opportunity to earn enough Ooze to unlock a special bonus item: the Krang back bling, a nostalgic nod to the memorable talking brain from the TMNT cartoon.
To further guide players through these challenges, Fortnite offers a quest that requires mastering an “impossibly difficult trick on a Driftboard.” Don’t fret, though, as a comprehensive guide has been created to walk you through this daunting task, ensuring you make the most out of this exhilarating event.
No Ninja Turtles event would be complete without their iconic weaponry. Throughout the Cowabunga event, players can expect to encounter all four of the Turtles’ melee weapons of choice in loot chests, Supply Drops, and vending machines across the battle royale and Zero Build modes. These weapons, each with their unique stats, offer various abilities such as attack, air attack, dash attack, and double jump. With their inclusion, it is evident that these weapons are poised to make a significant impact on the meta during the event. Similar to the Star Wars lightsabers, TMNT’s melee weapons promise to be game-changing throughout their availability in Fortnite.
As a delightful bonus, Driftboards receive a TMNT makeover and have been unvaulted for the event. Additionally, the Pizza Party healing item returns, paying homage to the Turtles’ favorite food. After all, what would a Ninja Turtles event be without pizza?
The Fortnite Cowabunga event is truly a testament to the creative crossovers that continue to captivate gamers worldwide. With the fusion of Fortnite and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, players can immerse themselves in an unforgettable experience featuring beloved characters, exciting quests, and iconic weaponry. Whether you’re a fan of the Turtles or an avid Fortnite player, this event is a must-engage for all. So, embrace the Cowabunga spirit, embark on thrilling quests, and wield the legendary weapons of the Turtles as you dive into the epic world of Fortnite.
