Week 1: Strike from the Shadows[]

Strike from the Shadows: November 23 at 9 AM ET until November 30 at 9 AM ET.

Shadows Week - Promo - Fortnite

The best ninjas know the importance of stealth. It’s one thing to throw a Paper Bomb Kunai at an opponent, but it’s another to approach in shadow form first. True, you can’t use weapons in shadow form — and the Kunai is no exception — but why blow your cover before you’re within striking distance?

In Strike from the Shadows Week, running from 9 AM ET on November 23 to 9 lAM ET on November 30, Paper Bomb Kunai and Shadow Stones are all over the place! You can catch Shadow Floppers in greater numbers too... and even find them on land. Turn into a shadow with the Stones and Floppers, then strike with the Kunai. Also complete themed Quests in the Strike from the Shadows Punchcard!

Week 2: Bargain Bin[]

Bargain Bin: November 30th at 9 AM ET until the end of Chapter 2: Season 8.

Weekly Wilds

Weekly Wilds[]

Week 1: Sneak Week[]

Sneak Week: August 19 at 10 AM ET until August 26 at 10 AM ET.

Sneak Week - Invasion Wild Week - Fortnite

The invasion is reaching its climatic conclusion as new tactics are being deployed weekly to turn the tide. Starting Thursday of this week, every Epic+ Pistol, Epic+ Assault Rifle, and all Bolt-Action Sniper Rifles will be replaced with their stealthy variants: Suppressed Pistols, Suppressed Assault Rifles, and Suppressed Sniper Rifles.

To avoid being seen as well as heard, the Aliens are countering this by deploying more Prop-ifiers across the Island. And in keeping up with trends, more vendors are supplying Prop Disguise services. Combine the sneakiness of a Prop Disguise with the silent precision of a Suppressed Sniper Rifle and the enemy won’t know what hit ‘em!

Week 2: High Flying Week[]

High Flying Week: August 26 at 10 AM ET until September 2 at 10 AM ET.

High Flying Week - Invasion Wild Week - Fortnite

Both the Aliens and IO have retired their stealth tactics, but the IO has shaken up the Island another way. Skydive on demand with the unvaulted Rift-To-Gos, ricochet opponents with the unvaulted Bouncers, and ascend on the spot with more abundant Launch Pads. Oh, and to keep up with the airtime demand, more vendors are selling Spawn Rift services.

While you’re spending so much time switching between land and air, complete this week’s Legendary Quest chain: a mission to deal damage after gliding. A timely way to earn extra XP!

Week 3: High Tech Hijinks[]

High Tech Hijinks Week: September 2 at 10 AM ET until September 9 at 10 AM ET.

High Tech Hijinks - Invasion Wild Week - Fortnite

Alien and IO tech will be easier to find than ever. In fact, Abductors will ONLY carry the Kymera Ray Gun, Grab-itron, Prop-ifier, and Alien Nanites. Likewise, IO Chests will ONLY give the Pulse Rifle, Rail Gun, Plasma Cannon, and Inflate-A-Bull. The Aliens and IO actually produced so much stuff that they’re running out of space. As a result, you’ll find the Kymera Ray Gun, Pulse Rifle, and Rail Gun even in normal Chests now.

While you’re using a bunch of Alien and IO weapons, earn XP in the process! This week will have two Legendary Quest chains: one for dealing damage with Alien weapons and one with IO weapons. Choose either one — or go for both!

Week 4: Bargain Bin[]

Bargain Bin Week: September 9 at 10 AM ET until end of the Chapter 2: Season 7.

Bargain Bin - Invasion Wild Week - Fortnite

Mari here with a new memo.

The final Wild Week isn’t a result of the Aliens or IO at all. Instead, vendors and vending machines discounted their stuff by A LOT.

This "Bargain Bin" Week seems like a good time to spend recklessly… (Bars will reset soon, after all.)

Bouncing off the Walls defies the laws of physics for one full week. Weaken gravity’s impact on you with the more frequent Hop Floppers, and send your opponents (or your team!) flying with the more numerous Shockwave Grenades and Shockwave Bows. Also, yes: Bouncers are unvaulted!

With the Hop Floppers and Shockwave Grenades all around, you’ll have a jumping start in this week’s Legendary Quest. And as a tip, Hop Floppers are so plentiful you can now find them in ice boxes.
