KNOW THE LOCATIONS
Behind the luxurious exteriors of Sanguine Suites, Relentless Retreat, and Eclipsed Estate are strongly-defended bases complete with cameras, laser grids, and guards. Thorne has filled ‘em with valuable items, and he’s also taken over Rumble Ruins, the Slap Juice factory, and a tower in MEGA City. Make sure you’re prepared before infiltrating anywhere run by Thorne.
Sanguine Suites.
Relentless Retreat.
Eclipsed Estate.
GEAR UP
Along with existing and unvaulted weapons, prepare for your break-in with new ones:
ROCKET RAM
When you’re entering a base, you can either take the stealthy route… or come flying with theRocket Ram. When it’s time to escape the base, use the Rocket Ram if there’s no car around.
INFILTRATOR PUMP SHOTGUN, SCOPED BURST SMG & TWIN MAG ASSAULT RIFLE
Once inside the base, break out theInfiltrator Pump Shotgun, theScoped Burst SMG, or theTwin Mag Assault Rifle. The Twin Mag Assault Rifle has a flippable magazine that allows for a faster reload every other reload.
BUSINESS TURRET
Want a weapon that’s a little more hands-off? Take hold of aBusiness Turret: a turret that looks like a briefcase while it’s in your hand, but transforms once thrown. The Business Turret will automatically lock onto nearby enemies and fire, so all you have to worry about is the placement!
In a base unprepared? Look forHeist Bags: duffle bags stuffed with heisting gear! Heist Bags come in handy for the empty-handed.
Heist Bags have a chance to contain aCrash Pad Jr.(new!),Remote Explosive(unvaulted!), Rocket Ram, ammo, healing items, and more.
GET THE GOODS
Locked up in the depths of Thorne’s properties are Mythic items from Fortnite’s history:
MIDAS’ DRUM GUN
TNTINA’S KA-BOOM BOW
OCEAN’S BOTTOMLESS CHUG JUG
KIT’S CHARGE SHOTGUN
KIT’S SHOCKWAVE LAUNCHER
ZYG AND CHOPPY’S RAY GUN
THE FOUNDATION’S MK-SEVEN ASSAULT RIFLE
GUNNAR’S STINGER SMG
Snag one of these… then use it to help you escape! Where to escape to? Head to the taken-over Rumble Ruins, Slap Juice factory, or MEGA City tower. Even though they don’t have the Mythic treasures, they still have plenty of great loot!
MAKE A GETAWAY
If you make it out of a Thorne building uneliminated, don’t look back — hop in the nearest car for a vehicular escape. The more cinematic the escape the better, so look for aNitro Fangby Victory Motors.
Nitro Fangs have multiple looks, with one of them being a pizza delivery car facade.
