Fortnite x Overwatch Quests Guide – All Challenges and Free Rewards!

The new crossover between Fortnite and Overwatch has officially arrived, bringing a fresh set of limited-time quests for players to complete. The event introduces missions inspired by popular Overwatch heroes including Mercy, Tracer, D.Va, and Genji, along with several free cosmetics and large amounts of XP rewards.

This special collaboration event is called “Answer the Call,” and it is currently active during Chapter 7 Season 2. Players can complete themed challenges tied to each Overwatch character while unlocking banners, emoticons, back blings, and even a special pickaxe. Since the quests release gradually every few days, there is plenty of time to finish everything before the event ends around June 5, 2026.

What Is the Fortnite Overwatch Event?

The Fortnite x Overwatch collaboration adds multiple quest lines based on different heroes from Overwatch. Every hero comes with around seven or eight quests, and each completed challenge rewards players with 5,000 XP. Finishing an entire quest line also unlocks an exclusive cosmetic item.

At the moment, Mercy’s challenges are already available in-game, while Tracer, D.Va, and Genji quests will unlock over time. New quest sets are expected to release every five days, so players should continue checking the quest tab regularly.

For players trying to level up their Battle Pass quickly, this event is one of the easiest XP farms currently available in Chapter 7 Season 2.

Mercy’s Guardian Angel Quests

Main Reward: Overwatch Banner Mercy’s quests mainly focus on healing teammates, survival, and support gameplay. Most of these challenges can easily be completed while playing squads with friends.

• Hire a Specialist in Squads Simply recruit an NPC specialist while playing squad matches. You can usually find hireable characters at named locations around the island.
• Restore 100 Health Use healing items or healing abilities to recover health for yourself or teammates. Medkits, bandages, and healing weapons all count toward progress.

• Gain 300 Shields During Daytime Drink shield potions or use shield items while daytime is active in the match cycle.

Best Rewards From the Fortnite Overwatch Event

While all the rewards are worth collecting, the biggest highlights are definitely the Pachimari Plush Back Bling and Reinhardt’s Rocket Hammer Pickaxe. The hammer especially stands out because of its unique design and strong connection to Overwatch fans. Players who enjoy Overwatch-themed cosmetics should make sure to finish every available quest line before the event disappears.

The Fortnite x Overwatch “Answer the Call” event is expected to stay live until early June 2026, giving players several weeks to unlock all free cosmetics and XP rewards. Since new challenges release every few days, checking the game regularly is the best way to avoid missing any limited-time content.
