Fortnite Anniversary Event News
Fortnite’s 7th anniversary celebration is packed with new anniversary-themed content.
Among the new items added, the Anniversary Medallion stands out, which this time grants the passive ability to generate balloons every time the player jumps, giving rise to greater mobility on the map. But that’s not all, since items from previous anniversary events are back, including gift boxes containing loot.
The flare gun can shoot fireworks that can set wooden structures on fire. Something you’ll see constantly will be balloons that you can use to float around the map and quickly travel to other locations. Another fairly common item will be pieces of birthday cake that, like any other edible item in the game, will help you recover health and shield.
In short, Fortnite is celebrating its seventh anniversary with an event full of fun, missions and free rewards for all players. Don’t miss the party and complete the missions to get the exclusive anniversary items.
If you use all of these new features, it won’t be long before you’re completing Fortnite’s new 7th Anniversary missions. The community has praised the anniversary missions, considering them easy for any rank, but also entertaining. For example, the task of wishing the bus driver a happy birthday revives one of the mechanics that many fans love. There is now a reward for saying goodbye when getting off the bus.
On the other hand, eating slices of cake throughout the games is a detail that always pleases to celebrate a birthday. In this way, we will even be able to celebrate with our rivals one of the games that continue to unite us in 2024: Fortnite. So now you know how to get all the gifts for the event.
