The worlds of Fortnite and the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (TMNT) collide once again with the highly anticipated Cowabunga event. This in-game crossover event brings both the Turtles’ notorious enemies and their esteemed mentor to the world of Fortnite. With new skins to purchase, a plethora of exciting in-game quests, and iconic Ninja Turtles weaponry up for grabs, players are in for an action-packed experience like never before. Let’s dive into the details of this extraordinary collaboration.
The Fortnite Cowabunga event is now live and will run until February 27 at 6 AM PT / 9 AM ET. Similar to previous collaborations such as Star Wars and Jiujitsu Kaisen, the Cowabunga Pass functions as an additional mini battle pass, launching near the end of Chapter 5 Season 1. Epic Games seems committed to bringing these seasonal events to Fortnite, delighting players with exciting new content. The TMNT pass offers a range of items across both its free and paid tiers.
In the free tier, players can unlock several enticing items, including the TMNT Pizza back bling, Kuro Kabuto bass guitar, the Turtle Blimp glider, and more. For those willing to purchase the paid tier, additional exciting rewards await, such as instant access to the fearsome Shredder skin. As a bonus, completing the paid tier will unlock the formidable Super Shredder skin. Both skins feature stunning Lego variants, adding a unique twist to the already impressive designs. Additionally, Splinter, the revered mentor and father figure of the Turtles, makes a grand appearance in the item shop alongside his own Lego-style version. Moreover, April O’Neil and the beloved Turtles themselves have returned to the item shop, ensuring fans can truly immerse themselves in the vibrant world of TMNT.
The Cowabunga event introduces players to a multitude of thrilling in-game challenges, referred to as Quests. Each completed quest rewards players with Ooze, a valuable currency within the event. As you accumulate more Ooze, various mini-pass items become available for unlock. By earning a sufficient amount of Ooze across the event’s six phases of challenges, players can attain the highly sought-after bonus item of the event: the Krang back bling. TMNT enthusiasts will fondly remember Krang as the memorable talking brain from the animated series.
Ooze and pizza may be closely associated with the Ninja Turtles, but their formidable weapons are just as iconic. Throughout the Cowabunga event, players have the excitement of gaining access to all four of the Turtles’ preferred melee weapons. These weapons will be obtainable as loot in both the battle royale mode and Zero Build. The arsenal features each turtle’s weapon of choice, including Leonardo’s katana, Michelangelo’s nunchucks, Donatello’s bo staff, and Raphael’s sais. These weapons possess unique attributes, showcasing different stats, including attack power, air attack capabilities, dash attacks, and the highly coveted ability to double jump. Much like the Star Wars lightsabers before them, these weapons are set to bring a significant shift to the meta during their availability. They can be found in chests, Supply Drops, and vending machines scattered throughout the Fortnite world. And let’s not forget, the beloved Driftboards have been unvaulted and given a delightful TMNT makeover. Lastly, the Pizza Party healing item makes a comeback, because what is a Ninja Turtles event without pizza?
The Fortnite and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Cowabunga event is an extraordinary collaboration that offers an abundance of excitement and nostalgia to players from both fan bases. With an array of new skins, engaging quests, and the chance to wield the Turtles’ legendary weapons, gamers are in for an unforgettable experience. So, gear up, complete quests, and embrace the power of cowabunga in the Fortnite universe!
