Epic Games' Fortnite: Battle Royale got a big update with the v.5.40 patch, which kicked off the "High Stakes" event that added a new limited-time game mode: Getaway. It's a squad-based game in which your team needs to capture one of four jewels scattered across the map, then make your way safely to an escape van in order to win. The only problem? There are 100 players (roughly 25 squads) trying to do the same thing.
