Epic released the v7.01 Fortnite update today and there were no new cosmetics added to the files. However, leaks confirm a number of files in the ‘Carmine’ (Infinity Gauntlet) LTM folder were updated along with a new sound file added.
The Infinity Gauntlet LTM (Limited Time Mode) was added to Fortnite in patch 4.1 which was released on Tuesday, 8th May. Early in a match, a meteor would land in the safe zone, delivering the Infinity Gauntlet. A player who managed to get to the Gauntlet and use it would transform into Thanos. Thanos has four abilities in the game, a mighty punch, flying and dropping to the ground which would deal damage, a power blst and a super jump. The LTM wasn’t available for too long, but there’s a possibility it could be making a return.
