Who doesn't enjoy a delightful Fortnite event? Especially when it brings forth fresh and complimentary cosmetics like the Most Wanted festivities! There is an abundance of quests to fulfill and, naturally, rewards to acquire.

However, if you're not up to speed, you might be curious about the precise nature of Team Heat in Fortnite and its implications for players. Does it bestow advantages upon you? Or does it, perhaps, make you a more prominent target?

What Is Team Heat In Fortnite?

Essentially, Team Heat is visually represented in the top-left corner of your screen, showcased through four levels indicated by flame icons.

As you progress through each level, you unlock distinct advantages. However, it is crucial to note that there is a significant drawback: raising your Team Heat level will make you visible to other players across the Fortnite map.

  • Level up your Fortnite gameplay experience with a good mobile game controller that will give you an edge over your enemies.

There are a few methods to increase your Team Heat level in Fortnite, but it's important not to mix it up with Infamy ranks which are obtained through the Most Wanted quests. It's also worth noting that Team Heat resets after each match so the benefits you earn are only available during the match you earn them in.

You can raise your Team Heat level by:

  • Defeating enemies
  • Opening Chests, Coffers, and other items

It's as straightforward as that, so don't fret about making major changes to how you play the game.
