Fortnite Hot Bat Summer Guide: Every Bundle, Questline, and Secret Worth Knowing
Gotham's finest traded their capes for swim trunks, and somehow it's still one of the busier events Fortnite's run this year.
Hot Bat Summer runs through August 20 and stacks a lot into that window. Two skin bundles, six separate questlines that unlock weekly, a hidden Bat Cave tucked under Wonkeeland, and a fresh batch of Sprites riding shotgun with the whole thing. If you've only dipped a toe in so far, here's the full rundown of what's actually in this event and what's worth chasing before it all disappears.
The Bundles: Two Ways to Buy Into Gotham
The skins are split across two packages, and the math on both is straightforward enough that you don't need a calculator to know if you're getting a deal.
The Gotham City Summer Bundle runs 3,000 V-Bucks, down from 6,900, and covers Beach Bod Batman, Coastal Catwoman, Ace the Bat-Hound, plus a floatie, two pickaxes, kicks, and an emote. Individually that's a lot more than 3,000 V-Bucks worth of stuff. The High Tide Harley & Sunflower Ivy Bundle sits at 2,300 V-Bucks (down from 4,300) and bundles Chlorophyll Ivy and High Tide Harley with matching back blings, pickaxes, and an emote.
Worth flagging that Chlorophyll Ivy and High Tide Harley are both locked to 12+ experiences, so if you're jumping into a younger-rated lobby, don't expect to see them equipped. Every one of these cosmetics leaves the Item Shop on July 29 at 7 PM ET, so this isn't a "get to it eventually" situation.
If you'd rather skip the buggy and just go straight for a fight, the Sirens themselves are duelable NPCs scattered across the map, and beating them drops Mythic weapons on top of everything below.
Six Questlines, One Slow Weekly Drip
Hot Bat Summer's real backbone is its questlines, and Epic's staggering them out one at a time rather than dumping everything at once. Each line needs four completed quests to unlock its bonus reward, and each unlocks the following week's set.
Finish four quests across all six lines total and you'll also snag the Zap-Brella, which is the closest thing this event has to a completionist trophy.
The Quests Worth Prioritizing
A few of these are genuinely easy wins. Thanking the Bus Driver is a single D-Pad press. Riding the Ferris Wheel at Wonkeeland takes seconds. Catching a fish just needs a Fishing Rod from a wooden barrel and any nearby water.
Others take a bit more setup. Hitting opponents from below is easiest against bosses you can bait into standing on something elevated. The distance-while-airborne quests come together fast if you're using the Batman Beach Buggy to boost off cliffs, since it does double duty for both the vehicle-airborne and general-airborne trackers. And if you want the Batman Sprite bonus without waiting until August, dueling Catwoman, Harley Quinn, or Poison Ivy has a solid chance of dropping one directly, on top of whatever the Embrace the Bat questline eventually hands you.
The Bat Cave Under Wonkeeland
Wonkeeland's got a secret, and it's less flashy than you'd hope. Head to the tree with the stop sign in the center of the POI and you'll find a zipline that drops you into a tunnel system leading to the Bat Cave itself. There's also a second entrance carved into the cliff face on the east side, so don't assume you've got the place to yourself.
Inside you'll find a Bat Computer, a couple of Bat-themed surfboards, an arsenal, and a scattering of standard chests. No puzzles, no hidden vault, nothing exclusive to the Sprite hunt. I've run through it more than once looking for something extra and come up with nothing beyond regular floor loot, so treat it as a fun detour rather than a farming spot.
New Sprites Are Also in the Mix
Hot Bat Summer also snuck in a batch of new Sprites alongside all the skins and quests, and there's enough there for its own writeup rather than a quick add-on here. If you're after the full rundown on where to find each one and what they do, check out the guide right here.
