Hero Training Gym creative island, quests, & rewards
Fortnite x My Hero Academia also features a creative island players can explore to immerse themselves further. The Zen Creative team constructed this Hero Training Gym experience, offering three classes and team vs. team combat.
Those who enter the arena will earn “Rescue Points” by compiling eliminations or capturing Rescue Zones. The scoring works as follows; you gain one point for an elimination and five points for holding a Rescue Zone. The first team to reach 100 points will claim victory.
Additionally, various Hero Training Gym quests are available for players until December 29 at 7 p.m. ET. Completing these challenges will unlock two Sprays, an Emoticon, and Back Bling, themed with Fortnite x My Hero Academia.
Here is a complete list of the quests and rewards:

- Secure Rescue Points Quest — unlocks the PLUS ULTRA Spray
- Complete a total of four My Hero Academia Quests to earn the Deku’s Glove Emoticon
- Complete a total of eight My Hero Academia Quests to earn the UA Cape Back Bling
You can access the Hero Training Gym by inputting island code 6917-7775-5190.
New in-game Fortnite x My Hero Academia gameplay items
You can now find My Hero Academia items in traditional Fortnite Battle Royale and Zero Build. Firstly, we have Deku’s Smash—a special weapon that delivers a powerful punch. You can find these in specific Supply Drops and My Hero Academia vending machines.
Speaking of Supply Drops, be on the lookout for All Might versions of the iconic Fortnite crates. These will drop intermittently throughout each match, and it’s your best chance to find Deku’s Smash.
Fortnite x My Hero Academia will stick around until December 29 at 7 p.m. ET. You won’t want to miss out on this limited-time collaboration or the Winterfest 2022 event that’s currently happening!
