Fortnite continues to collaborate with various IPs, allowing players to acquire and represent their favorite characters while battling it out. Epic Games has now presented players with the opportunity to get a free Fortnite Dumb Ways to Die emote and back bling through a new promotion.
With the ongoing South Park collab already pushing the Fortnite whimsy into overdrive, these free cosmetics can add further to the experience. Here’s everything you need to know about the free Fortnite Dumb Ways to Die items.
How to Get Free Dumb Ways to Die Emote and Back Bling in Fortnite
You can get the free Fortnite Dumb Ways to Die items by interacting with the current ongoing promotion in the mobile version of the Epic Games Store. You need only an Epic Games account already linked to Fortnite and a mobile device compatible with the Epic Games Store app. The mobile Epic Games Store is available worldwide on Android devices. However, it is limited to the EU and US regions on iOS devices. Once you have everything you need, you can follow these steps:
- Log in using the same Epic Games account tied to your Fortnite profile.
- In the search tab of the store, search for “Dumb Ways to Die,” and tap “Get” once you are on the game’s page.
- After claiming the game, simply launch Fortnite.
- You will then receive the Dumb Ways to Die Emote and Botch Back Bling in your inventory.
Since the game is free for the promotional period, you don’t have to worry about using V-Bucks or real-life money. If you face a hiccup in receiving the items, you need to confirm your login and relaunch Fortnite. The rewards can take 15-30 minutes to appear in your library, as there might be server sync issues.
It is important to remember that you can only get the free Fortnite Dumb Ways to Die items until January 22, 2026, as this is when the promotion ends in Chapter 7 Season 1.

Yes, since they are already part of Fortnite’s Item Shop collection, Epic Games will add these cosmetics back to the Item Shop later.
The Dumb Ways to Die Emote costs 500 V-Bucks, and the Botch Back Bling costs 600 V-Bucks when they are in the Fortnite Item Shop.
As of now, Epic Games has not provided an official workaround for players to interact with the promotion on PC. This means players have to use mobile devices to access the promotion.
