As such, it is reasonable to believe that fans will complete these quests in the same way that they addressed those past challenges, and here is what they should expect:
- In the past, Birthday Presents in Fortnite have shown up in chests and as floor loot, and players should thus target locations with a lot of those loot sources. Lustrous Lagoon, Rave Cave, and Tilted Towers all fit that description, and fans should simply throw their presents repeatedly when they find them.
- Birthday Cakes in Fortnite typically appear at named locations, which makes them quite easy to track down. If these desserts are implemented in the same way that they have been in previous years, then they will be surrounded by slices that players can interact with in order to complete the quest.
- As with Birthday Presents, Balloons in Fortnite can usually be found in chests and as floor loot. Players are thus advised to again focus their searches on locations with an abundance of loot, and they may even stumble across some of these items when looking for presents. With some balloons in hand, players should use them to gain some additionally verticality on their jump and resolve the associated challenge.
