Fortnite players are going to see a ton of new content in this chapter

As soon as the latest Fortnite update was released, leakers found some interesting files in the game data that reveal future content. Epic Games has added many new cosmetics that are not yet available but will be released soon.

Fortnite leakers have found three free cosmetic items that players will be able to earn by simply completing challenges. This is great for those who don't buy cosmetics as they will get something for free. Also, these items will most likely only be released once, so anyone who earns them will have rare items.

ShiinaBR, one of the most popular Fortnite leakers, has shared an image of the free back bling that will be obtainable by completing quests. Players who complete the "Narrative" questline will earn this item.

The new questline will be similar to the "Resistance" questline from Chapter 3 Season 2. It will feature some popular Fortnite characters, including characters from the Battle Pass, and will also have dialogue and voicelines.

Even though the current season doesn't follow the storyline directly after "The Collision" live event, it could still be interesting. After all, many players are deeply invested in speculating about the purpose of the Reality Tree and the direction of the upcoming questline.


The summer event is bringing free cosmetic items to Fortnite as well

The upcoming Fortnite summer event will also bring free decorative items for players to acquire. Epic Games has added many new files regarding the "No Sweat Summer" event to the game data.

Unfortunately, players might be slightly disappointed because the event challenges will only be released in the Creative mode. Considering that the event is not out yet, Epic Games may also change this decision and bring some challenges to the battle royale mode.

Players can earn two free cosmetic items during the next Creative promo, which will be included in the summer event.

As you can see in the tweet above, players will be able to earn a pickaxe and backbling for free. These are recolors of existing items, but they just perfectly fit the current theme of the season.
