Fortnite's No Sweat Summer Is the New Vibe

Fun in the sun

by Khayl Adam Fri 22nd Jul 2022

Fortnite's latest event is No Sweat Summer, which brings around a fortnight's worth (heh) of content in celebration of the silly season. Live now, the event will last until 9th August, introducing fresh challenges, new quests and exciting map updates.

This time, the gimmick is that you are a part of the No Sweat Insurance Company's street team. The quests and challenges will see players engaged in tasks like placing adverts, securing sponsorships, and even contributing to the reconstruction of the Tilted Towers. In universe, No Sweat is responsible for repairing the heinous damage caused by players.

In other Fortnite news, we learned that the popular shooter might be going first-person at some point in the future.

@CapGod I think its because its a live service and content can be missed if you weren't present blah blah blah

Yeah. Something that Halo did good is unlimited time battle passes. If you purchase it at the right fine it's fine, but you can finish it later.

But, I don't hating on multiplayer because of missable skins is a justification.

I'm having a blast with multiversus. Gosh I needed something like it.

@CapGod Multiplayer has always been a great thing IMO. From the early days of Warhawk I knew for me that shared experiences like that are really fun.

Yes mtx or missing certain content can suck, but I find that commenters on here often single out one aspect of a live service and use it to judge the whole experience a little unfairly.

The devs didn't spend years and years developing the game only for the sole focus on it to be these things, they are simply extra. I am really looking forward to the upcoming live service games from PS, hopefully one is a PS All Stars BR sequel. The renaissance of these battle games has made it clear that other people want it too. With their plethora of characters, I'm sure it'll be fun.

Thought No Sweat Summer had a nice "Splatoon" vibe.🦑

First I've seen of it going first person view. Aren't there already like 100 FP online games? What Fortnite needs is a photo mode so I can see my characters skins I have been unlocking, not FP where I can't see my character AT ALL!!! Why am I paying for skins I can't see?🤑

On the bright side, FP means I can quit playing. My addictions always need help ending. 🤷
