The Most Wanted event introduces the Heat mechanic into Fortnite, which is important to pay attention to. Raising Heat means running faster, regenerating more health, and getting more Gold Bars from enemies, so it’s a big change to the game.
What does Heat level do in Fortnite?
The Heat level works a lot like the Wanted level in the Grand Theft Auto series because it goes up as the player does more things. Obviously, GTA and Fortnite are very different, and getting eliminations and opening up vaults is the way to raise it in Fortnite.

Having a high Wanted level in GTA isn’t great, but it definitely benefits players in Fortnite. Players will get more Gold Bars from an eliminated opponent at just level one, but the benefits quickly stack up. Players can track their Heat level by the flame icons that appear on their screen in a match. Here’s how Epic Games lays it all out.
When does Most Wanted end in Fortnite?
The Heat level mechanic isn’t here to stay in Fortnite, but it’ll disappear at the end of February when the Most Wanted event ends. Before it leaves, players will want to verify they complete the Most Wanted challenges tounlock the free cosmetics.
These cosmetics include a pickaxe, outfit, and back bling, along with some other goodies players won’t want to miss out on. Epic hasn’t said whether these items would eventually hit the Item Shop, so players should prioritize getting them for free while they can.
