Ice cream cones are back in Fortnite after their debut last July during the No Sweat Summer event. The consumables restore health and shields, but will also grant XP to put towards this year's summer challenges.
The Summer Escape event is the fifth annual summer blowout in Fortnite, and kicked off this week on July 4. As with past years, Summer Escape will run for 14 days, wrapping up on July 18, 2023 at 6am PDT / 9am EDT / 2pm BST which should give you plenty of time to work your way through the quests to unlock an array of cosmetic items, as well as the secret Battle Pass skin – Purradise Meowscles.
Ice cream cones in Fortnite made their debut last year during No Sweat Summer, with the consumable item bolstering player health and shields, and available in five variants. Epic has unvaulted Fortnite ice creams for Summer Escape, with both the Frozen IceCream Cone and Lil Whip’s Special Serve making a comeback for all two weeks of the event.
As well as providing some tasty buffs, you can also eat ice cream cones in Fortnite to gain 30k XP to put towards unlocking the new Chapter 4 Season 3 Battle Pass skins.
Where to find and how to eat ice cream cones in Fortnite
There are five types of Fornite ice cream cones, each with their own perks:
Normal IceCream Cone: restores 5 health
Frozen IceCream Cone: restores 5 health and adds frozen status buff for 20 seconds
Guzzling IceCream Cone: restores up to 100 health at rate of 2 points per second
Spicy IceCream Cone: restores 5 health and boosts speed for 25 seconds
Lil'Whip's Special Serve: instantly restores health and shield for 100 points
You can find ice cream cones in Fortnite in a number of ways at multiple locations. Coolers and ice machines are your best bet, but you can also find them in floor loot or chests. Coolers and ice machines are located at POIs like gas stations, campsites, and grocery stores so Frenzy Fields, Rumble Ruins, Slappy Shores, and Creeky Compound are prime spots for them to spawn. Don't waste your time on locations over on the west side of the map, like Shattered Slabs, Breakwater Bay, or The Citadel.
Once you've found them, how do you eat ice cream cones in Fortnite? That's blissfully easy! Just equip the ice cream like you would with any weapon, and press the fire button to eat it.
To complete the Fortnite Summer Escape ice cream challenge,. all you have to do is eat five ice cream cones and you'll earn yourself a generous 30k XP for your trouble.
