Fortnite is ending its Chapter 2 Season 7 Invasion event with a grand finale called Operation: Sky Fire. This is a live, one-time event with no replays so you’ll want to start tuning in on September 12 at 1 pm PT/4 pm ET if you want to take part.
Fortnite Chapter 2 Season 7 Invasion began with an alien invasion. Players were tasked by Doctor Slone to fight back the alien menage along with Imagined Order. Now you’ll infiltrate The Last Reality in one final mission.
The Operation: Sky Fire event playlist will be available 30 minutes before the event start so you’ll need to queue in for a spot on the 16-person team. Epic Games is insistent that this event will not happen again and recommends players, particularly content creators, to record their game.
Epic is also recommending you finish up your quests before Chapter 2 Season 7 ends and has provided a to-do list for players before Operation: Sky Fire
-
Starting on September 9, players should gather and spend Bars at the Bargain Bin Wild Week. A new Legendary Quest will let you earn extra XP for your Battle Pass for doing so.
-
Complete any remaining Epic Quests and Superman Quests and exchange Battle Stars before the event.
-
Unclaimed Battle Stars or Alien Artifacts will be automatically redeemed for rewards and styles starting with the earliest available unlocks.
-
The Superman Quest must be completed before September 12 at 1 pm PT/4 pm ET to earn the special Glider, Pickaxe, and Shadow style before the next season.
Fortnite’s space theme continued past seasons with big cameos and guest characters. Superman and Rick were both part of the Invasion season along with a host of alien-themed cosmetics.
With the finale approaching, all eyes will be on what Fortnite Chapter 2 Season 8 will have in store, which will likely be teased or revealed following Operation: Sky Fire.
