Fortnite’s 5th Birthday Event

In previous years, Fortnite have placed giant birthday cakes around the island, and put birthday presents inside chests and as floor loot. Birthday cakes are usually found at named locations such as Tilted Towers or Lustrous Lagoon. We can assume this year will be pretty much the same. Consuming birthday cake slices will give you health and shield.

We will also see the return of balloons which will be available to find in chests and as floor loot. A pack usually contains 5 balloons and they can be used to float through the air: use more balloons to go higher, let go of balloons to sink lower again. If your balloons are popped while you are up high you will take fall damage.

The birthday presents are the same as ones we see at during the festive winter period, and they can be thrown down and entered using a pickaxe to see what loot is inside.
