The first ever Fortnite Community Day is just around the corner, and Epic are pulling out all the stops to make it an event to remember. There are cosmetic rewards unlocked just by logging on, beneficial gameplay modifiers including Double XP and more Rare Blue Chests, fresh content launching in the Shop featuring a much-anticipated arrival, and a big upcoming event reveal. To find out more, this is when Fortnite Community Day is happening and all the rewards you can receive.
When does Fortnite Community Day start?
Fortnite Community Day is taking place on Saturday, May 30 and will start at 6am PDT / 9am EDT / 2pm BST, then run for 24 hours and finish at the same time on Sunday, May 31. There are a couple of events tied to specific times during the Community Day, so from 8am PDT / 11am EDT / 4pm BST there will be a FNCS Major 1 Summit watch party broadcasting live from Dusseldorf, Germany at Legends Landing, and Community Day Power Hours run at 12:30pm PDT / 3:30pm EDT / 8:30pm BST and 6:30pm PDT / 9:30pm EDT / 2:30am BST – more details on those below.
What rewards can you unlock during Fortnite Community Day?
All players who log in during the Fortnite Community Day will automatically receive the Community 'Brella plus Community 'Brella Style and the Silver Surfer Wrap, while Battle Pass holders can also claim the Workplace Foundation Style as seen in this video. During the whole day you'll be able to earn 5x Rivalry Credits and Double XP up to 50 Levels, while finding more Rare Blue Chests, Golden Fireworks Pistols, and player voted weapon unvaults, and Twitch Drops will be on so you can watch participating streamers to earn a fresh Pickaxe, Back Bling, and Wrap.
More new content will be available via the Shop, where you'll be able to purchase the long-awaited Typical Gamer skin and cosmetic items, as well as the Indigo Kuno skin that was previously a PS Cup exclusive from December 2020 (thanks HYPEX). As mentioned earlier, there will be two Power Hours during the Community Day, where players will spawn with one of four Overwatch-inspired Exotic loadouts for some legendary showdowns during those 60 minutes.
Last but not least, the Community Day will also start the build up to the next Fortnite live event, with the launch of The Showdown: Epilogue and a reveal of the end of season event. Make sure you log in during May 30, as you don't want to miss any of this!
