This September, Fortnite celebrates its eighth anniversary. To mark the occasion, Epic Games has once again transformed the island into a grand festive arena adorned with cakes and balloons. The atmosphere is filled with a sense of jubilation, and the main highlight is the opportunity to obtain unique cosmetic items for free. Among them, the special anniversary pickaxe stands out, crafted specifically for this event. It will become a memorable trophy for those who participate in the celebration.
How to Get Fortnite Birthday Rewards 2025
The best part of Fortnite's festive events is that you don't need to spend any V-Bucks to get cosmetics. This year's rewards are tied to leveling up during the event. Simply play matches, earn XP, and you'll quickly reach the required levels to claim all the gifts. New quests help you gain experience even faster, so even casual players can secure the full set of free items.

The tasks themselves don't provide rewards, except for the XP needed to level up. The tasks are entirely themed around the festive party, making them easy and fun to complete.
Here’s the full list of tasks for Fortnite’s 8th anniversary and how to complete them:
TASK | HOW TO COMPLETE |
Wish the bus driver a happy birthday (1 time) | Press the emote button while in the bus at the start of a match. |
Search 8 containers before dealing damage to a player in a match | After landing, avoid engaging in combat with other players and instead search chests and other item containers. |
Dance near a birthday cake in a named location | Perform a dance emote next to a cake in a specified location. |
Throw 3 birthday presents | Find a birthday present in item chests. Pick it up and throw it. |
Ascend 80 meters with balloons | Find an item that releases a balloon in birthday presents and ascend as high as possible. |
Eat 8 pieces of cake in named locations | Find birthday cake slices in the center of any large location and interact with them to eat. |
Perform an emote in 3 different matches | Perform an emote by pressing the required button in three different matches. |
Land from the battle bus in 3 different matches | Successfully land from the bus at the start of a match. |
Several tasks can be completed in a single match. For example, land in a named location, dance by the cake, eat some slices, and then proceed to search containers. Adding balloons and presents to the mix will help you gather XP very quickly.
Fortnite Birthday Event Duration
The Fortnite birthday celebration kicks off with the release of update v37.30 and will last for about two weeks. Since Fortnite's official birthday is September 26, the tasks will be available until early October. Once the event concludes, the rewards will disappear forever, so it's best to jump into the game as soon as possible.
