As every year around this time, our favorite battle royale game is going to celebrate its special summer event. In 2024, it’s Fortnite: Summer of Stress, and while it feels pretty simple compared to past years, we can still participate in the event and earn special rewards. Plus, the ranked modes have some interesting changes.
The ‘Sweat’ in the event’s English name has a double meaning. In addition to sweating from the summer heat, the word is also used to refer to gamers who try too hard to win. That’s why the missions focus on eliminating other players and achieving good positions in the match.
