Fortnite, like many multiplayer titles, is best enjoyed with friends, and Epic Games is handing out great rewards for inviting them to play the battle royale.
You heard that right, the Refer a Friend program has made its return, letting veteran Fortnite players (or anyone interested) invite friends and family to try out the battle royale in exchange for exclusive rewards.
This time around, the bonuses include an exclusive Xander bundle, that contains a skin with different styles, back bling, gun wrap, spray, and a pickaxe. There are a few things you need to keep in mind to earn these rewards, so let's walk you through everything you need to know.
How To Refer A Friend In Fortnite
You can add up to five friends via the Refer a Friend program. Note that they need to either be completely new players or accounts that have less than two hours played on Fortnite core Battle Royale or Zero Build modes in the past 30 days (Solos, Duos, Trios, or Squads).
To add a friend via this program follow these simple steps:
- Sign up on the Refer a Friend website with your Epic account
- Invite up to five eligible friends via the website to play Fortnite
- Complete in-game tasks together
- Enjoy your new rewards!
On the Refer a Friend program website you'll see two buttons. The first one, Add Friend, lets you see your current list of Epic Games friends, filtering between who's eligible and who isn't. The second one, Share Invite, will let you invite players that are not currently on your friends list.
