Fortnite’s Summer Escape event for 2023 is about to go live, and players are eagerly anticipating the new content and rewards. While much of the event’s details are still encrypted, data-miners have been able to uncover some exciting information about what players can expect. In addition to map changes that reflect the summer theme, there will also be new outfits and skins added to the item shop. Let’s dive into what to expect for the Fortnite Summer Escape event 2023.
Map Changes
According to leakers and data-miners, the Sunswoon Lagoon landmark in the Jungle biome will undergo significant changes for the Summer Escape event. The entire area will be transformed with summer-themed decorations, including floaties in the water, murals near the waterfall, and beach umbrellas on the docks. This location will serve as the central hub for the event, creating a vibrant and festive atmosphere.
New Outfits/Skins
For the Summer Escape event, three new outfits/skins have been confirmed: Opal, Razor Rae, and Chaos Explorer. Additionally, the Court Queen Krisa outfit will be available for purchase, but it can only be obtained with real money, not V-Bucks. It’s likely that Epic Games has more outfits and skins planned for the event, so players can look forward to a variety of new cosmetic options.
Purradise Meowscles
Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 3 Battle Pass holders will have the opportunity to unlock the Purradise Meowscles outfit/skin starting from July 6, 2023. This character’s cosmetic items can be earned by completing challenges, which are expected to be relatively straightforward. Players will have the chance to add this feline-themed outfit to their collection during the Summer Escape event.
Unvaulted Ice Cream & Firework Flare Gun
To enhance the summer vibe, Epic Games will unvault ice cream items once the Summer Escape event begins. Players can expect to find ice cream cones in various flavors scattered throughout the map. Additionally, the Flare Gun, which was previously vaulted, will make a return. This weapon adds a unique twist to combat and will be a valuable addition to players’ arsenals.
Challenges/Quests with Free Rewards
The Summer Escape event will feature challenges and quests for players to complete. While the specifics of these tasks are still unknown, completing them will reward players with free items. These rewards are likely to include emotes, sprays, and possibly a glider or two. Players can look forward to engaging with new content and earning exclusive rewards during the event.
Slap Splash and New Reality Augment
A new item called Slap Splash will be added to the loot pool during the Summer Escape event. Similar to Chug Splash, this item will provide a beneficial effect to players within a small radius. The duration of the effect will vary depending on the rarity of the Slap Splash. Additionally, players can expect the introduction of new Reality Augments, which will add an extra layer of excitement to gameplay during the event.
Conclusion
