New celebration outfits are available to those hoping to celebrate the 4th of July.
Fortnite Battle Royale players on PS4, Xbox, PC, Switch and Mobile can find the new skins in the item shop.
“Celebrate summer with the new Stars and Stripes Outfits and Gear,” Epic Games posted on Twitter today.
These new Fortnite 4th of July skins are not categorised as Legendary, so they don’t cost the max V-Bucks.
Instead, players can grab the new Fireworks outfits for around 1,500 V-Bucks.
There are three different designs that can be picked up, with both the Star-Spangled design available for 800 V-Bucks.
Fans can also get in the spirit of things by download the sparkler emote, although there aren’t any special gliders to pick up today.
These new items will be available for the next 24hrs, before being replaced by new designs.
Epic Games have not confirmed they will be adding more themed items later this week.
It should be noted that the new Fortnite skins are not part of the Fortnite Battle Pass, and can’t be earned by completing the weekly challenges.
Instead, the 4th of July outfits comes with their own unique looks, as well as price tags.
Epic Games make it clear that everything in their store is cosmetic only and will not provide you with a stats boost of any kind.
So fans don’t have to worry about being outplayed because of some secret attributes.
The news comes as Epic Games re-released their Playground Mode on all platforms.
The game mode was taken offline due to technical issues with matchmaking and servers last week.
But with Playground Mode now back online, can use the LTM to practice building and sample weapons and traps.
“Battle and build to your heart’s content with an extended period of time to roam around the map as well as increased resource generation,” reads an Epic blog post.
“All treasure chests and ammo crates will be spawned, try droppin’ in different spots and scope out the loot.
“Playground is a low-pressure environment where friends can let their creativity run wild. Build massive structures.
“Practice with the weapons and items. Fight against your friends. Have fun!”
Fortnite Battle Royale is currently available on PS4, Xbox One, PC, Mobile and Switch.
Being free-to-play, it’s possible to download and play without having to spend anything on the game.
Epic Games have announced that Fortnite Battle Royale will be coming to the Android platform later this year.
