If you’re not satisfied with all the new content that Season 9 has brought, a big new event is about to launch in Fortnite with a host of unique game modes and fresh content for you to play. This is going to be a big ongoing event, with unique challenges and content coming every day. Epic’s latest season event celebrates the beginning of summer. Over the next two weeks, 14 Days of Summer will run every day.
Starting on July 25th, Epic is on unvaulting a weapon from Fortnite’s past each day. Each weapon will only be available in game for one day. While it isn’t worth adjusting your usual go-to weapons, it will be fun while it lasts. Each day is also going to bring a daily challenge with a free reward. If you’re looking to get as much loot as you can from this event, you need to be fulfilling this challenge every day. There will also be some summer themed outfits in the Item Shop.
A new creative island will be featured each day during the 14 days of Summer. Between all of this content, there is a lot to be playing over the next two weeks. However, the main event is the new game modes.
