The Fortnite Birthday event starts today and it brings news challenges and rewards for players.
The Fortnite: Battle Royal birthday event challenges includes a variety of new rewards for the players. Players that complete three of these challenges can earn the following rewards.
- A new emote.
- A new spray.
- Some new Backbling.
For those playing Fortnite Save the World, there’s also a special skin that players can unlock. This skin is Birthday Brigade Ramirez. There are also slices of cake that players can find and eat. Doing so earns them tickets, which can be used to buy a special Birthday Llama.
The birthday cake slices from the Save the World campaign are also available in the Battle Royal mode in Fortnite. Players that find these slices can eat them to restore five health and gain five shield.
The most recent patch includes more updates than just the special Fortnite Birthday event. It also introduces a new legendary weapon, the Compact SMG, to Battle Royal mode. Playground LTM will also be returning to the Battle Royal mode starting on Wednesday.
