The Fortnite Endgame LTM is back, and everyone wants to be Thanos. Playing as the big purple villain is one of the most fun things you can do in this mode, just like back then, and getting the role is actually pretty easy. If you want to become Thanos in Fortnite Endgame, here's what you need to do.
What Is Fortnite Endgame LTM?
The Endgame Limited Time Mode comes with the latest Fortnite update and splits players into two teams: Heroes (the Avengers) and Children of Thanos (the Chitauri). The Heroes are trying to stop Thanos's army from collecting all the Infinity Stones. The Chitauri side is trying to grab those stones and win the match.
Once Heroes eliminate Chitauri players 60 times total, the Chitauri can no longer respawn. On the flip side, once all six Infinity Stones are collected, Heroes lose their respawns too. Whichever team runs out of players first loses.
How to Become Thanos in Fortnite Endgame
To become Thanos, you need to be on the Chitauri team and be the first player to pick up an Infinity Stone when it drops on the map. The moment you grab one, you transform into Thanos with bigger health pool, stronger abilities, and a whole lot of power. Mind you, the POI will be filled by so many players trying to eliminate each other, so be very careful.
If Thanos gets eliminated, he does not disappear for good. After a short cooldown, the next Chitauri soldier who picks up an Infinity Stone becomes the new Thanos. So the role can change hands during the match. If Thanos is eliminated after respawns are disabled, a different Chitauri player takes over permanently.
All Thanos Abilities in Fortnite Endgame
Once you are playing as Thanos, you get four abilities that make him feel very powerful:
| Ability | Controller | What It Does |
|---|---|---|
| Titan Punch | R2 / RT (Controller) Left Click (PC) | A heavy melee hit that deals 200 damage per strike |
| Energy Beam | L2 / LT (Controller) Right Click (PC) | A laser that deals continuous damage from a distance |
| Super Jump | Hold X / A (Controller) Hold Space Bar (PC) | Lets Thanos leap high into the air |
| Ground Pound | R2 / RT when airborne (Controller) Left Click when airborne (PC) | Slams the ground and deals AoE damage and knockback |
Each time your Chitauri team collects an Infinity Stone, Thanos also gets a permanent upgrade for the rest of the match. The more stones your team grabs, the scarier Thanos becomes.
| Infinity Stone | Buff |
|---|---|
| Reality Stone | Health and shield increase from 1,000 to 2,000 |
| Soul Stone | You steal shields from every Hero you eliminate |
| Mind Stone | Your jump height doubles |
| Space Stone | Ground Pound AoE deals 6x more damage |
| Time Stone | Titan Punch does 3x damage and launches players with huge knockback |
| Power Stone | Energy Beam deals 6x more damage |
Tips for Playing as Thanos
Thanos is strong, but he is not unbeatable. Use the Energy Beam on Heroes who are trying to escape. It tracks well and melts health fast. Try to save the Ground Pound for grouped enemies since the AoE can hit multiple people at once, especially once you have the Space Stone buff.
Do not waste your Titan Punch on enemies who are far away. Get in close first, then hit them. And always use the Super Jump to stay aggressive and keep pressure on the Heroes team.
Playing as Thanos in the Fortnite Endgame LTM is one of the most satisfying things in the mode right now. So go grab those stones and show the Avengers what Thanos can do!
