The Fortnite Summer Escape event offers a bunch of free rewards that players can collect by completing the Summer Escape Quests. Participants can look forward to goodies like a Glider, Contrail, Loading Screen, Spray, and a couple of Wraps. Some notable Fortnite leakers anticipate that there will be additional rewards too, such as a Back Bling, Pickaxe, and Music Pack.

If you have V-Bucks to spend, the Item Shop during the Summer Escape event will include a remix of the Chaos Agent Outfit called Chaos Explorer, additional styles for the Cozy and Comfy Chomps Skins, and a whole bunch of other summer-themed Outfits.

Fortnite Summer Escape: Surfboards and other summer-themed items

The Ice Cream Consumables are back for Fortnite Summer Escape.

Surfboards have always been exclusive to Fortnite: Creative, but during Summer Escape, Surfboards will be available across the Island for players who want to catch some waves! Surfboards function identically to the Driftboards introduced in Season 7 of Chapter 1.

Surfboards are just the beginning of the fun items that'll be obtainable during Summer Escape. The Ice Cream Consumables are back, along with a brand-new variant of the Flare Gun titled the Firework Flare Gun.
