Fortnite Valentine's Day Event: Complete Guide
Fortnite's Valentine's Day Event is a limited-time seasonal celebration that arrives every February, bringing challenges, exclusive cosmetics, and special in-game activities. Epic Games builds these events directly into the game around mid-February, giving players a chance to earn unique rewards through daily tasks.
This year's event, called Lore & Legends, runs from February 5 to February 19. The structure follows Epic's standard daily unlock system, with new rewards becoming available each day throughout the two-week period. In this article, we'll explore everything you need to know about this year's Valentine's event, the rewards you can earn, and how to complete all challenges.
Valentine’s Event Rewards
The Love and Legends event offers two main types of free rewards:
Daily login rewards
Gameplay-based cosmetics.
For daily login rewards, you need to log into Fortnite on ten different days between February 5 and February 19 at 4 AM ET. Each of the first nine logins grants you a free Battle Pass level-up, helping you progress through the Chapter 7 Season 1 Battle Pass without grinding matches. On your tenth login, you receive the Sweetest Shot Loading Screen as a bonus reward.
The gameplay reward is about collecting Candy Hearts scattered across the map. These collectible items spawn in Battle Royale, Zero Build, Reload, OG, and Blitz modes. You must play in team formats (duos, trios, or squads) to collect them. Once you reach 250 Candy Hearts before February 23 at 9 AM ET, you unlock the Heartie Back Bling cosmetic.
