Kado Thorne, the main villain from Chapter 4 Season 4 (Aug 2023–Nov 2023), has returned to Fortnite Reload as the inspiration for a series of quests. Each of these offers a unique Kado Thorne-themed reward upon completion, including a pickaxe and a few different emotes.
Given Kado Thorne is among the more strikingly intimidating antagonists in Fortnite history, he fits right into the ongoing event’s horror theme. The quests and rewards based on this character are available for players till October 31, when both the Fortnitemares 2026 event and the Fortnite Override season will end.
If you’re tackling the Kado Thorne quests right now and want to take a look at which requirements must be met for acquiring certain rewards, you can check out the table below.
Kado Thorne quests and rewards in Fortnite Reload
The Kado Thorne reward items are tied to Map Mastery Quests in Fortnite Reload. Unlike other types of quests that can be completed across any Fortnite map, these particular quests require you to complete the action strictly in the given map.
Since maps are consistently rotated in Reload, at any given time, only a quest related to the map that is currently active is doable. For instance, Surf City Mastery Quest must be completed when the Surf City map is in session in that mode.
Below, you can check out the Kado Thorne rewards and the requirements you would have to meet to unlock them.
| Quest | Reward |
|---|---|
| Complete 2 Map Mastery Quests | Kado’s Ambush (emote) |
| Complete 4 Map Mastery Quests | Fang Nitemare (emote) |
| Complete 6 Map Mastery Quests | Nitemare Elite (emote) |
| Complete 8 Map Mastery Quests | Batty Heart (emote) |
| Complete 10 Map Mastery Quests | Dungeon Dweller (emote) |
| Complete 12 Map Mastery Quests | Driver Of Darkness (pickaxe) |
Wrapping up
Fortnite going deep into its repository to roll out new cosmetics based on a nostalgic figure from its long history is something that should catch the attention of veteran players. Hence, the aforementioned Kado Thorne quests provide a fairly strong incentive for players, especially those who own the original skin from Chapter 4 Season 4, to expand their collection with new relevant items.
On the other hand, whether or not the inclusion of these Kado Thorne cosmetics leads to the Kado Thorne skin also showing up more often in online matches is something only time will tell.
