Rainbow Royale was a massive success in Fortnite Chapter 2. It has returned in Chapter 3 Season 3 and players can get their hands on the free cosmetics from last year.
Events like Rainbow Royale have always focused on bringing the Fortnite community closer. Back in Chapter 2 Season 7, the developers added a special Rainbow Royale section to the Item Shop that featured six free cosmetics.
Epic Games has confirmed the return of Rainbow Royale in 2022, and at the same time, has brought back the free rewards from last year.

The Item Shop today has a Rainbow Royale section that contains the following items:
- Take a Bow emote
- Sunshine and Rainbows wrap
- Vibrant Boogie spray

All these cosmetics were originally released in July 2021 and have now returned to the Item Shop. You can purchase them for 0 V-Bucks at the moment.

Here’s a preview of the free Rainbow Royale cosmetics in the Chapter 3 Season 3 Item Shop:
It is worth noting that the Rainbow Royale cosmetics will be available in the Item Shop only till June 16, at 8 PM ET, and this might be the last chance for players to get them.
Fortnite to release new Rainbow Royale cosmetics in September 2022
The LGBTQIA+ community is celebrating Pride Month, and Fortnite has brought back last year’s rewards at the perfect time. Epic Games has also announced that Rainbow Royale will be back with new cosmetics in September 2022.
Having said that, there is no information on the exact date of Rainbow Royale in September 2022 so far. It will most likely be a part of Chapter 3 Season 4, and players will get a new free reward for seven days consecutively.

Fortnite has hosted a wide range of events in Chapter 3. The latest chapter began with a brilliantly organized Winterfest 2021 and with the 21.10 update, loopers will also get to experience a No Sweat Summer event.

Fortnite will release the v21.20 update on July 5, 2022 and players can look forward to enjoying some new No Sweat Summer content in it.

After hyping up the No Sweat Summer event, Fortnite simply released some Creative challenges for XP. However, leaks suggest that new NPCs, cosmetics, and summer-themed challenges will arrive soon.
Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 3 is all about Vibin’ and nothing suits this theme better than a humming summer event. However, No Sweat Summer 2022 has only revolved around the Firework Flare Gun and six Creative XP challenges so far.
It is evident that the player base isn’t satisfied with this year’s No Sweat Summer event. Fortunately, Epic Games itself teased more summer content and it should most likely be a part of the v21.20 or the v21.30 updates.
Fortnite promises ‘more summer vibes’ in a post about Island Hopper quests
Leaker iFireMonkey noticed that Epic Games’ official post about the Island Hopper quests states:
“Get vibin’ this summer in style! Want more summer vibes? No sweat, more summer is coming. Stay tuned for more.”
Clearly, Island Hopper quests aren’t the end of No Sweat Summer in Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 3. However, for now, not a lot is known about the upcoming content.

Leakers have revealed that Epic Games will at least release Boardwalk Ruby, Summer Drift, and Unpeely as NPCs on the island. While the return of these fan favorites will be great, the arrival of Midsummer Midas and Summer Meowscles will be like icing on the cake.

In this year's #Fortnite No Sweat Summer 2022 event there will be at least 3 new NPCs on the island to interact with!
– Boardwalk Ruby
– Summer Drift
– UnpeelyThis tells us we can definitely expect some kind of BR updates for the summer in v21.20! pic.twitter.com/8K90NTJTli
iFireMonkey reported that the Battle Royale modes will soon have summer-themed challenges as well. It is worth noting that the developers began working on Surfboards with Chapter 3 Season 3, and they will also return soon.

Epic began working on motorcycles recently which use the same animations as riding animals. It has 2 seats + you can boost & drift. Epic also added summer surfboards back but we don't know if it's for BR or Creative! pic.twitter.com/0uxl8fWgRk
When will Fortnite No Sweat Summer event 2022 begin?
Ideally, Fortnite should release the aforementioned content with v21.20 which is expected to release on July 6, 2022. Having said that, it is important to consider that Epic Games’ employees will be taking a summer break from July 24 to August 12.
Fortnite v21.30 should release ahead of this break on July 19, 2022. Because Epic Games won’t be able to roll out hotfixes or other things during the break, iFireMonkey believes that the 21.30 patch will be the most content-loaded update this season.
All in all, loopers can certainly keep their hopes high for the No Sweat Summer event in 2022. While NPCs, challenges, and vehicles have been confirmed by leakers, Epic Games never misses an opportunity to capitalize on event-based cosmetics.

Battle Royale
Fortnite x Fall Guys was one of the most sought-after events ever and Epic Games has managed to disappoint many players with it.

Fans naturally had sky-scraping expectations from a collaboration between Fortnite and Fall Guys, two of the biggest Battle Royale games in the world. Unfortunately, it turned out to be a damp squib for many.
Even though there hasn’t been an official announcement yet, Fortnite players have started receiving the free Major Mancake skin and other cosmetics in his set. This means that the much-anticipated collaboration with Fall Guys is finally live.
Despite having an opportunity to get a skin set for free, loopers aren’t satisfied with the ongoing Fortnite crossover.
Some glaring issues with Fall Guys x Fortnite: Crown Clash event
Fall Guys x Fortnite’s Crown Clash event began on June 29, 2022 although Epic Games has ignored it completely. The Galaxian emotes and return of Pac-Man have been mentioned in latest Twitter posts, but players still have no ‘official’ information on the free Major Mancake skin.
As of now, leakers have single-handedly promoted the entire crossover.

The spread of misinformation and confusion among loopers was inevitable, to say the least. Leakers and data miners have been flooded by messages about the free cosmetics, who obviously have no real advice to give.
— iFireMonkey (@iFireMonkey) June 30, 2022I'm seeing a LOT of DMs about people not getting the rewards from the Fall Guys challenges.
There's not really any advice i can give, each reward took around 1-2 hours before I got them in Fortnite, so I would say just wait and if you still don't get it try contacting support pic.twitter.com/eokgx0Qazg
Another bone of contention is the lack of a Fall Guys-themed reward. Mancake is a popular Fortnite character, but he has no relation to Mediatonic’s Battle Royale title. To play 100 rounds of Fall Guys for a ‘not-so-Major’ Mancake skin is not worth the effort for several players.
Is the latest Fortnite x Fall Guys: Crown Clash event even a crossover?
While the critique of the Fall Guys crossover has been mentioned above, there are players that are happy with it too. They argue that Crown Clash isn’t necessarily a collaboration, but a celebration.
Epic Games’ goal here is to simply promote Fall Guys (as it recently went free-to-play). Getting a free skin set for a prominent character like Mancake is a great incentive for a devoted Fortnite player to try another game.
Why did we get a Pancake skin, for a Fall Guys collaboration 🥹
— Happy Power (@HappyPower) June 29, 2022
Considering that Fortnite is a free-to-play title as well, it is always great when the developers hand out free rewards. To be fair, playing 100 rounds of Fall Guys is much easier than The Nindo challenges that only grant a glider, a wrap, and some emoticons.

All in all, the mixed response towards Fortnite x Fall Guys is understandable. While Major Mancake is good enough for some players, others look forward to unlocking cosmetics that ‘actually’ represent a collaboration.
For now, we await Epic Games’ blog post on Crown Clash event. Leakers have revealed that the event ends on July 11, 2022. It is unlikely that Major Mancake will arrive in the Item Shop later, and this could be your only opportunity to unlock it.

The Finals will take place between August 12-14. There are two ways for a team to win the Fortnite Champion Series in Chapter 3 Season 3:
- The first team to get three Victory Royales and earn 475 points will be declared the FNCS champion. This is called the Match Point.
- If no team is able to acquire a Match Point at the end of 12 Finals matches, the duo with the highest points will win.
Chapter 3 Season 3 FNCS prize pool distribution
The prize pool for the Chapter 3 Season 3 FNCS is a whopping $3 million. However, it will be divided across several regions:
- EU: $1,350,000

- NAW: $240,000
- ASIA: $240,000
- ME: $120,000
- OCE: $120,000
The prize pool is different for each region, primarily because of Fortnite’s prominence there. It is evident that the viewership numbers in Europe are much higher than in the Middle East and Oceania.
It is worth noting that fans should be able to unlock some free cosmetics by watching the matches. New FNCS-themed cosmetics also arrive in the Item Shop.
