Epic has launched the highly anticipated Fortnite's yearly summer event known as Summer Escape. This brings several updates to the game, including free rewards that players can earn. The event is well underway and will end on July 18th.
As expected, the main attraction of the update is the quests that offer not only valuable experience points but also some attractive rewards. During the event, new quests will be introduced every few days, allowing players to earn summer-themed items such as wraps, trails, and loading screens, as well as a charming lizard companion.
So without any further delay, here are the patch notes of the latest Fortnite update.
