Epic Games has just announced an exciting new collaboration between Fortnite and Fall Guys, and it’s bringing a delightful array of new content and features. Starting August 6, 2024, players can experience the whimsical world of Fall Guys like never before within the Fortnite universe. This crossover introduces fresh gameplay, creative opportunities, and unique rewards that are sure to captivate both Fortnite and Fall Guys fans.
Dive into the Action: Where We Fallin’ Event
The Where We Fallin’ event is now live and runs until August 15, 2024, as part of the v30.40 update. This new addition to Fortnite’s Battle Royale mode features a floating obstacle course that’s set high above the island. To access this course, players must locate one of the towering, golden Bean Idols scattered around the Classy Courts area. These eye-catching idols are hard to miss and mark the beginning of a fun and challenging race.
Once players interact with a Bean Idol, they’re transformed into a Fall Guys Bean and transported to the obstacle course. Here, you’ll face various challenges, including Spinning Beams, Hex Tiles, and moving bumpers. The objective is to complete the course as quickly as possible while performing actions such as running, mantling, diving, and bouncing. Successfully finishing the course within the time limits will earn you valuable gameplay loot to aid you in your Battle Royale match:
- Gold Tier loot for finishing under 50 seconds.
- Silver Tier loot for finishing between 50 and 80 seconds.
- Bronze Tier loot for finishing between 80 and 120 seconds.
However, be cautious—once the Storm reaches the course, it becomes off-limits, so aim to complete the challenge quickly!
Bean Bod: Transform Your Fortnite Outfit
During the obstacle course event, your Fortnite character will morph into a Fall Guys Bean. This transformation depends on the outfit you have equipped, featuring bean versions of iconic Fortnite characters like Brite Bomber, Fishstick, and Jonesy the Secondst. If your outfit isn’t one of these original Fortnite characters, your Bean will appear as a default preset.
Note that while you’re in the Fall Guys obstacle course, your Bean will reflect the look of your Fortnite Outfit. However, costumes from Fall Guys do not carry over into Fortnite. Once you return to the main island, your Bean will revert to your original Fortnite Outfit.
Creative Opportunities: Build Your Own Fall Guys Islands
For creators, the collaboration offers new possibilities with Fall Guys assets now available in Unreal Engine for Fortnite (UEFN) and Creative modes. You can now build and publish your own Fall Guys-inspired islands using these assets. Once published, your islands will appear in the new “Fall Guys” row in the Discover tab.
Players visiting these islands will see their Fortnite Outfits as Beans both in the lobby and within the island itself. This feature allows creators to craft their own obstacle courses, incorporating Fall Guys props and obstacles for endless fun.
