Fortnite Unveils New Twitch Drops Featuring Retropack and Nightblade Cosmetics

Fortnite players can now take part in a new wave of Twitch Drops, available through June 15. By watching eligible streams, fans have the chance to earn two exclusive rewards: the vibrant Retropack back bling and the striking Nightblade pickaxe.

To unlock the Retropack, viewers must watch 30 minutes of a supported Twitch stream. For the Nightblade, an hour of view time is required. Both items sport a bold neon-orange design that's sure to stand out on the battlefield. Once the viewing time is complete, the cosmetics can be claimed the next time Fortnite is launched on any platform.

Retropack and Nightblade Twitch Drops

• Retropack back bling – Earned after 30 minutes of Twitch viewing
• Nightblade pickaxe – Earned after 1 hour of Twitch viewing

These limited-time cosmetics arrive shortly after Fortnite’s massive live Star Wars event, where players participated in an in-game mission to sabotage the Death Star. The event marked the end of one of the biggest collaborations between Fortnite and the Star Wars franchise.

Chapter 6 Season 3 Introduces Hero Ranks and New Characters

Following the live event, Chapter 6 Season 3 officially launched, bringing with it new gameplay mechanics and familiar faces. Among the newly added characters are Superman and Robin, expanding the roster of iconic heroes available in-game.

One of the standout additions this season is the Hero Ranks system. All players begin each match at Rank C, with opportunities to increase their rank by completing various in-game actions—such as eliminating opponents, surviving storm phases, defeating henchmen, and returning sprites to shrines. Throughout the island, players will encounter Hero Caches, which contain increasingly powerful loot depending on the required rank to open them.

Mobile Bonus: Free Burnoff Skin

To celebrate Fortnite’s return to iOS in the United States, a bonus reward is being offered to mobile players. Anyone who logs into Fortnite on an Apple or Android device can claim the exclusive Burnoff skin for free.

Leaks Hint at Upcoming Fox Crossovers

Excitement continues to build around rumored crossovers with major Fox franchises. Recent leaks suggest that characters from Family Guy, King of the Hill, and Bob’s Burgers may soon make their Fortnite debut. While not yet confirmed, these possibilities have stirred enthusiasm within the community.

With fresh mechanics, iconic characters, new rewards, and the promise of future collaborations, Fortnite's latest season is shaping up to be one of the most dynamic yet.
