Get ready for some exciting rewards in the world of Fortnite! Epic Games has announced a new round of Twitch Drops, offering players the chance to earn the Route Kit back bling and the Elite's Sigil wrap. All players need to do is watch streams until April 20, 2025, to claim these exclusive rewards.
In addition to the Twitch Drops, Fortnite's Reload mode has kicked off its third season, which has brought a dramatic map overhaul and the surprise return of iconic points of interest (POIs) from Chapter 2. As the current season draws to a close, speculation is rife about what’s next for the battle royale game. Leaks suggest a massive Star Wars event may launch in May, potentially introducing a wealth of new content, including characters, locations, and cosmetics from the beloved franchise.
Epic Games shared the news via their Twitter account, revealing that players will soon have the opportunity to engage in Fortnite's latest Twitch Drops campaign. Viewers can earn the new Twitch Drops by tuning into an authorized livestream with rewards activated. Specifically, spectators who watch for 30 minutes will receive the ornate Elite's Sigil wrap for their weapons, while those who stick around for a full hour will earn the practical Route Kit back attachment to carry their items. These Twitch Drops will be available until April 20, 2025, providing gamers with ample time to participate and collect these cosmetic prizes simply by watching their favorite streamers play.
Previously, Epic Games offered a round of Twitch Drops that allowed players to earn free customization options through a collaboration with Mortal Kombat. This crossover between two gaming giants didn’t stop there; the iconic character Sub-Zero is now available in the fight mode for Chapter 6 Season 2. Fans can also acquire additional Mortal Kombat-themed items in the Item Shop, either individually or as part of a larger package. Moreover, players can unlock Sub-Zero through the extensive Battle Pass of the current season, which grants them a chance to embody one of gaming's most iconic fighters.
For those looking for more free cosmetics, the Vanguard Zadie skin in Fortnite can be earned through June 7, 2025. To redeem this limited-time offer, players must sign in by May 6, 2025, at 9 AM ET to activate the related quests. Players who level up 15 levels will be rewarded with Zadie's Blade pickaxe, while those who reach level 30 will earn Zadie's Blade back bling. Finally, advancing to level 50 will unlock the Vanguard Zadie outfit.
With all these exciting free cosmetics on the horizon and more content expected soon, fans are optimistic about the future of Fortnite. Epic Games is also rolling out small weekly updates after recently introducing Adventure Time skins in the game, bringing even more surprises for players.
This week, the update features a new map filled with slurp-themed locations, including Dirty Dock, Steamy Stacks, and Slurpy Swamps. According to Fortnite Tracker, this new map will be exclusively available for two weeks on the reload before joining the regular rotation on April 29, 2025. The map includes slurp-filled barrels, rivers, and vats for players to swim through, enhancing the gameplay experience.
The update also introduced several new weapons to the reward pool, including the Red-Eye Assault Rifle, Combat Shotgun, and Mammoth Pistol. Players can look forward to utilizing these weapons to enhance their combat strategies in the game.
In summary, players will be able to earn the Vanguard Zadie outfit by completing quests, with some players also receiving Zadie's Blade Pickaxe and Back Bling by reaching specific account levels by June 7, 2025. Additionally, players can earn in-game rewards by watching Fortnite streams on Twitch from April 15 to April 21, 2025. Those who watch for 30 minutes will receive the Elite Sigil wrap, while the Route Kit Back Bling will be obtainable after one hour of viewing.
