These free Fortnite cosmetic items will be available for a limited time

As was the case before, free Fortnite cosmetic items will only be available in the game's Item Shop for a limited period of time. A total of six different items will be available for free, and to obtain them, players simply need to pick them up from the Item Shop.

The upcoming Fortnite cosmetics will be released on August 31 at 8:00 pm Eastern Time. As soon as the Item Shop resets, players will be able to obtain these free cosmetics.

Here is the list of Fortnite cosmetic items that will soon be available for free in the Item Shop:

• The Dip Emote
• Every Heart Emoticon
• Prismatic Keepsakes Spray
• Say It Proud Lobby Track
• Mazy and the Echoes Loading Screen
• Rainbow Royale 2022 Loading Screen

Unfortunately, no outfit or skin will be available for free during this event. While several other rainbow-themed outfits and cosmetic items will be added to the Item Shop, players will have to purchase them using V-Bucks.

In addition to these free Fortnite cosmetic items, Epic Games will release a couple of other items into the video game. Several LGBTQIA+ artists will appear on a brand new radio station called Rainbow Radio, including Lady Gaga, Lil Nas X, King Princess, and others.

Along with these additions, the Battle Bus will now feature a different theme and players will also be able to join a new Creative Island called Rainbow Crossroads. This is where they can obtain even more free cosmetic items, including the Kaleido-Crusher Pickaxe.
