Fortnite Reload: Complete list of Kado Thorne quests and rewards

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.

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.

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.

FAQs

Can I get the Kado Thorne skin in Fortnite?

Not really. While a range of Kado Thorne cosmetics are up for grabs for those who complete certain quests, none of those items include the villain’s original skin.

Will Kado Thorne skin return to Fortnite in the future?

Highly unlikely because, since its introduction in Chapter 4 Season 4, this skin has never returned in Fortnite via the Item Shop or any other means. However, a variant of the same, the Elite Kado Thorne skin, did come out as part of a cup reward earlier this month (no longer claimable).

Which maps are in rotation in Fortnite Reload?

The current lineup of maps in the Reload mode consists of Stranger Things (map), Surf City, and Nitemare Island.
