How to eat Fortnite ice cream cones

When you come across an ice cream cone in Fortnite during the Summer Escape event, all you have to do is press “E” to pick it up and add it to your inventory. After that, simply equip the ice cream like you’re equipping one of your weapons and press the fire button, which is Mouse1 if you haven’t customized the controls. Your character will eat the ice cream and gain its special perk.

Where are ice cream cones located in Fortnite?

The ice cream cones are spread anywhere on the island, and their spawn is randomized, meaning we can’t pinpoint their exact location. I found them, however, while walking near Hitches and Ditches—a trailer park close to Frenzy Fields—and at Creeky Compound.
