Furthermore, If you complete three free Black Panther quests - Play 10 Matches, Outlast 500 Opponents, and Play 5 Matches in Duo/Squads with Friends - you can also unlock the Wakanda Forever emote. Black Panther's arrival follows the addition of the Black Panther monument that was part of Fortnite's Marvel-themed season. Even though it wasn't added in response to the passing of Black Panther actor Chadwick Boseman, it was still a place many could go and celebrate the incredible actor and character.
