Here's how Deadfire's reactive component works:
-Stage 1 (Default look): Start of match
-Stage 2 (Clothing and hair color change): Occurs when you deal 400 damage to opponents/Cube Monsters OR when 40 players remain in the match (whichever comes first).
-Stage 3 (Green flames): Occurs when you deal 1,000 damage to opponents/Cube Monsters OR when 10 players remain in the match (whichever comes first).
These same rules & thresholds apply to the Pickaxe and Back Bling as well.
Basically, everyone can transform to the final stage of these items by surviving in the match (regardless of your playstyle), however you can transform quicker by engaging with cube monsters or other players earlier in the match.
Question: Will the Muertos skins/accessories use the same system as their lights are also "reactive"?
Reactive is a broad term to describe that an item may do something within a match. This could be to progress through visual stages like Deadfire, change FX and shape like Rainbow Smash or Thunder Crash pickaxes, or make a noise when you get an elimination like the Clockworks back bling. The muertos items do their own thing, which is written in the description for the item (glow in the dark).
Thank you for the clarification!
I was going to make a thread for this small request but it seems appropriate to mention it here, would it be possible for reactive skins like Deadfire or the ghost portal that require kills/damage to not reset upon respawn in modes like disco and playground? As someone who plays those modes a lot, it can be mildly frustrating. I don't mind having to get 5 kills or 1000 damage in one life to turn them on, that adds a fun level of challenge, but having them reset when I get hit out of nowhere with a stray grenade ain't fun, haha.
I'll poke our engineers about it to see why it's working that way.
Will these effects still happen after Fortnitemares is over?
yes.
Well, it didn’t
There is a bug in the current build that prohibits it from working as normal. The fix is upcoming to make the outfit and back bling work as intended again.
