Ahead of the Summer Sweat Update, Fortnite gets various ice cream cones around the island so here's what they do and where to find them.
As one of the most popular battle royales available, Fortnite continues to evolve its mechanics and systems to keep players coming back. With near weekly updates, Fortnite players seemingly have no shortage of things to do, especially with a revolving door of cameos and cosmetics to purchase. While there's been no shortage of major franchise crossovers from the likes of Marvel, DC, Star Wars, and many others, this season has given fans an opportunity to play as Indiana Jones and solving mysteries as Shuffled Shrines.
Later this month, Epic Games is kicking off the No Sweat Summer limited time event, which leakers have already revealed will contain plenty of new themed cosmetics related to the beach and other summer activities, along with news quests to award out items and XP. To help pave the way, Epic released a new update which not only fixed a handful of bugs but added some new content into the battle royale including the Prime Shotgun.

While traversing the island in Fortnite, players will also find ice cream cones in a variety of flavors, each with their own effects once consumed. To help players prepare, here is where to find the ice cream cones as well as what each one does.
These newly added Ice Cream Cones are consumables in Fortnite, similar to med packs, slurp juice, fish, and other items. They come in five different varieties with four being uncommon rarity items and then a special legendary version. As expected, each one offers a different effect once consumed, so here is the full list of flavors:
As of right now, it's unknown where exactly these ice cream cones will be found. While Fortnite leakers like HYPEX have indicated that they're available in the game right now, players have had a very difficult, if not impossible time finding them. In fact, looking at the item list from Fortnite Creative seemingly confirms that the Ice Cream Cones are not yet available as they're not included in the list of items that can be used.
As such, it appears that these items will be added once the big No Sweat Summer update launches in full, which aligns with what Epic confirmed in a recent blog update. It's expected that these items will be found as most items are, through floor loot, chests, and other world loot drops. Either way, be sure to check back once the update arrives for a complete breakdown.
Fortnite is available now on PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and mobile devices.
