Fortnite Lil Kev event objectives, rewards, end date explained

How to get the Lil Kev Back Bling in Fortnite, and how long you have to get it.

In Fortnite Lil Kev is a bonus Back Bling that followed on the end of the Fortnitemares event.

You unlock it by completing Lil Kev Challenges, which includes playing a certain amount of matches and other activities. As long as you log in by a certain date on Monday, you have until before the Lil Kev end date to get it.


Note this particular challenge is no longer able to be completed. What's new? Chapter 4 Season 2 has arrived! New additions include the Grind Rails and Kinetic Blades, along with the new Battle Pass, character collection and Eren Jaeger skin. It's a good idea to know how to get XP fast in Fortnite.

  • Play 15 Matches (reward - 500 XP)
  • Gain 5,000 XP (reward - 500 XP)

How did Lil Kev arrive in Fortnite?

The Lil Kev event began in Season 6 when Fortnitemares ended.

Developer Fortnite invited players to observe an in-game event, which saw the destruction of Kevin, the purple cube that has stalked the game's map since Season 5.

You can watch it in action here:

After the event ended, Kevin (the cube) disappeared, and the Lil Kevs appeared for players to unlock.
