Fortnite John Wick event end date, event details

The Fortnite John Wick event has an end date of Tuesday, 21st May at the following times:

The Fortnite John Wick event features the following:

How to get Gold Coins in the Wick's Bounty event

The Wick's Bounty event sees players start with four Gold Coins at the start of each life. When you kill another player, you collect all their Gold Coins and add them to your total.

For example, if you kill a player with four Gold Coins, your total becomes eight. If they have eight - meaning they have killed another player - then you get 12 Gold Coins.

When you die, your stash of Gold Coins is immediately wiped out and given to the player who killed you, and you start back with four Gold Coins.

Since the team with 500 Gold Coins total is the winner, the key is to survive as long as possible. Since each player has three lives, though the pool of Gold Coins stays the same, the number of players that share them decreases - meaning the surviving players have a bigger share of the pot.

If you're simply after the 'collect 20 Gold Coins in a match' challenge, since it only unlocks when you are holding 20 Gold Coins at any one time, then going after the marked players on the map or waiting to later in the match is your best bet as, chances are, the remaining players will have more coins later than at the start.

Either that, or go on a streak - killing four other players at the beginning of the match and getting their four Gold Coins will do it - though it's considerably harder than stealing a player's larger collection of coins later on!

Chapter 3 Season 3 has arrived - bringing with it a new Battle Pass, character collection, map locations and Victory Umbrella! You can now ride animals, find Reality Seeds, and use the new Grapple Glove, and Victory Crowns have returned. If you're after a specific Battle Pass skin, then it's a good idea to know how to get XP fast.

What else do we know about John Wick in Fortnite?

Though the Wick's Bounty mode was leaked ahead of time, developer Epic Games left in several clues for the tie-in with the arrival of the new Season.

For example, John Wick's house from the film appeared in the new map update - located near Calamity's just south-east of Paradise Palms in the desert (thanks discipleofdoom on reddit):

Meanwhile, The Continental - the hotel from the series - can be found within Neo Tiled (thanks Dselbdc on reddit):

It's almost certain these locations won't be in the game forever. Track them down while you can!
