Summer Drift is an Epic outfit in Fortnite: Battle Royale, available in the Item Shop for 1,500 V-Bucks. Introduced in Chapter 1 Season 9 on June 25, 2019, it's part of the Drift Set. Last seen 280 days ago, it typically returns every 75 days. The base character model is Mansu.
This skin features two styles: the default shirtless look and a shirt variant. It includes the OOZIE Back Bling and can be purchased for 1,500 V-Bucks whenever it's in rotation.
Summer Drift puts a beachy spin on the original Drift outfit—shirtless with a necklace, white collar, Kitsune charm, and the signature Kitsune mask on the shorts.
Epic Games ran this two-week event through July 5, 2021, bringing back top Creative LTMs like Bios Zone Wars Trio 1.0, Custom Teams, Pro 100, Freaky Flights, Air Royale, and The Pit FFA. Complete quests in these modes or islands to earn beach-ready rewards.
While Epic often leaks new skins during events, Summer Drift's return adds a nostalgic summer flair to the lineup.
