Fortnite’s Summer Escape event is in full swing, bringing a plethora of exciting quests and challenges for players to tackle. One of the simplest tasks is to find and indulge in the newly introduced ice cream cones. Ice cream cones are scattered across the island of Fortnite. This article will guide you through the process of locating these delightful treats to complete the Summer Escape quest.

As part of the Summer Escape event, Epic Games has tasked players with eating at least five ice cream cones in exchange for a generous reward of 30,000 XP. The quest is relatively easy and can be completed by finding the ice cream cones spread throughout Fortnite’s island.

Where to find ice cream cones in Fortnite Summer Escape

Ice cream cones can be found randomly anywhere on the island, making it a thrilling hunt to discover their exact locations. While there’s no specific spot to pin them down, players have reported finding them near Hitches and Ditches, a trailer park close to Frenzy Fields, as well as at Creeky Compound. However, players can get this item in good amounts in the Sunswoon Lagoon POI which is adjacent to Creeky Compound. Explore these areas, keeping an eye out for colorful and tempting ice cream cones.

When you stumble upon an ice cream cone during the Summer Escape event, approach it and press the “E” key to pick it up, adding it to your inventory. Once obtained, the ice cream cone can be equipped like any other weapon. To equip it, go to your inventory and select the ice cream cone.

With the ice cream cone equipped, it’s time to enjoy its sweet benefits. Simply press the fire button (typically Mouse1, unless customized) to have your character devour the ice cream cone. As soon as it is consumed, your character will experience the unique perk associated with the specific ice cream cone.

Fortnite offers five different types of ice cream cones, each providing a distinct perk when consumed. Here are the details of each ice cream cone and the benefits they offer:

Regular Ice Cream Cone (Common): Restores HP.
Spicy Ice Cream Cone (Common): Restores HP and increases movement speed.
Frozen Ice Cream Cone (Common): Restores HP and enhances sliding speed and distance.
Guzzling Ice Cream Cone (Uncommon): Gradually restores HP over time.
Lil Whip’s Special Serve (Legendary): Provides a special slurp effect, restoring both HP and shields.

As you embark on your Fortnite Summer Escape adventures, don’t forget to take a break and savor the delectable ice cream cones scattered throughout the island. By following the steps outlined in this article, you’ll complete the Summer Escape quest, earn valuable XP, and enjoy the unique perks of each ice cream cone.
