Marvel's Avengers Beta Will Give Fortnite Rewards

The latest War Table stream for Marvel's Avengers went into more detail about features like challenge rooms, Warzones, and the first post-launch character. But the studio saved one more surprise for the very end--a partnership with Epic Games to bring more Avengers gear to Fortnite.

By participating in the Avengers beta, you can get a Hulk Smashers Pickaxe weapon, which makes your hands look like the Hulk's giant green meatpaws. The item comes with an alternate Hulkbuster style, which is modeled after Iron Man's huge suit meant to neutralize any out-of-control Hulk moments.

To pick up the items, you'll need to complete three HARM challenges on either PlayStation 4 or Xbox One during the beta periods. You'll need to make sure your Epic Games and Square Enix accounts are both linked to your console. Epic also noted in the announcement that the items will be available for purchase at a later date.

The stream also announced the first post-launch hero, Hawkeye. You can see the beta dates below. For more details, check out our Marvel's Avengers pre-order guide.
