Epic Games' latest Fortnite update is here and it has introduced a unique Grand Theft Auto V feature to the battle royale shooter, via the Most Wanted event, with the promise of free cosmetics and lots of fun. We didn't know Fortnite needed what is effectively a wanted level, but Epic Games has given it one and you're going to want to become familiar with how it actually works.
So, what do you actually need to know about the new wanted system feature available in Fortnite? Well, the first thing to note is that it's not actually called a wanted system - and it doesn't deal in stars like it does in GTA 5. During the Fortnite Most Wanted event, players have a Heat Level in-game - which is represented by four flame icons in the top left of your screen.
This Heat Level is going to increase when you eliminate enemies in-game, or if you spend gold to automatically increase it, and you'll get in-game buffs depending on how high your Heat Level is. If you're spending gold, it's important to note that it's going to cost you 500 gold to up your heat level - or 500 gold to decrease it.
