Released on April 25, the v8.50 update introduced the Endgame LTM in Fortnite BR, in celebration of the worldwide release of Avengers: Endgame in theaters on April 26.
The mode pits a team of heroes against the villain Thanos and his army of Chitauri, and all players respawn until one team manages to complete their designated objective and clinch the Victory Royale.

The goal for the heroes is to destroy all of the Chitauri Invaders and then Thanos himself, which is tricky because Thanos keeps respawning until every member of the Chitauri is defeated.
As for Team Thanos, their objective is to recover all six Infinity Stones hidden throughout the map, at which point the players on the heroes side will stop respawning and ultimately get defeated.
