    This is the Fortnite World Cup winner who receives their own Icon Series skin pack that you can purchase through the in-game item store.


    Automatic inventory system

    One of the demands of the community is that with this new configuration of preferred item slots, you will be able to choose in which inventory slot the weapons will be added when you collect them. For example, if you want all the assault rifles that you collect in the game to be in slot 1 and in succession, you can configure it.
