Fortnite marks Valentine’s Day with the Love and Legends event, which takes over after the January South Park promotion. You get access to themed content that includes new items, free rewards, and an added crossover tied to K‑Pop Demon Hunters Wave 2.
You can take part in the event for a limited time, with activities and unlocks available from February 5 through February 23. This guide breaks down what’s available so you know what to look for while the event is live.
Quick hits on the Fortnite Love and Legends event
You’ll notice fresh loot in matches, including the MK-Seven Assault Rifle and Rumi’s Empowered Sword, which shift mid-range and melee fights. The Storm also takes on a heart-shaped circle, changing late-game positioning.
What you can unlock
- Log in on 10 separate days to claim all login rewards.
- Collect Island hearts to earn a free Back Bling.
- Explore new collabs, including KPop Demon Hunters with Golden and Jinu outfits, plus the Chappell Roan crossover.
Loot pool and gameplay changes explained
You see a meaningful shake-up to the loot pool across Build and Zero Build, with several items rotating back in and a few debuting for the first time. These changes affect mobility, survivability, and close- to mid-range combat without altering core match flow.
The return of select Mythic Demon Hunters gear stands out. You can once again find food-based healing, melee pressure, and defensive utility in a single rotation. The spicy healing option offers fast recovery, while the sword and shield reward aggressive timing and positioning.
Epic also restores familiar tools that shape late-game decisions. You regain access to high-impact movement and clutch recovery options that previously left the pool earlier in the season.
New and returning items you can find include:
- Shockwave Grenades
- Self-Revive Device
- MK-Seven Assault Rifle
- Flowberry Mist Grenade
- Lock-On Assault Rifle
- Cupid’s Crossbow
- Wings of Icarus
- Tiger’s Teleporting Mask
These additions give you more flexibility when choosing between mobility, pressure, and sustain during fights.
How to earn free daily Fortnite rewards during Love and Legends
Log in to Fortnite each day during the event window to unlock free daily bonuses. Regular check-ins add up to nine level increases, and continued participation unlocks the Sweetest Shot loading screen.
