Fortnite Operation Sky Fire details

Regarding the ultimate conclusion to Fortnite Season 7, Epic Games said:

"With the Mothership’s sights set on the Imagined Order’s secret base at Corny Complex, Slone has hatched a plan to end the Invasion once and for all. You’ve answered her calls, worked as an undercover agent for the IO - now it’s time to infiltrate The Last Reality and put a stop to the Alien’s occupation,"

As usual, the event playlist will open 30 minutes before the event, and Fortnite recommends loading the game up an hour early. They've also recommended wearing a good skin as players will literally invade the mothership with the IO.

According to iFireMonkey, players should also complete all the challenges and use all the battle stars they intend to prior to the Fortnite Season 7 live event. That will be the last opportunity to unlock any Chapter 2 Season 7 battle pass rewards. Gold bars should also be spent before the event.

Complete ANY remaining Epic Quests and exchange your Battle Stars for the rewards you desire before Operation: Sky Fire begins.

According to Epic Games, unused battle stars and alien artifacts will be automatically applied to the first available rewards and the players will redeem them, so choosing the rewards they want is important.

Additionally, Superman's Quests need to be completed prior to the Fortnite Season 7 live event, or the unlockable styles and other cosmetics will not be awarded. Challenges that are outside the battle pass, such as the LeBron James and Vox Hunter Quests, will carry over to the next season and won't expire at the Fortnite Season 7 live event.

For content creators and players looking to relive the moments of Operation Sky Fire - note that replays for the event will not be available. Please take appropriate steps to record and archive your experience to share with everyone.
