Fortnite’s gifting system has brought players joy for years, letting friends surprise each other with cool cosmetics from the Item Shop. Whether you want to celebrate a victory royale or make someone’s day better, gifting skins is a great way to share the fun. Want to know how to share your skins, too? Here’s a full guide on how to gift skins in Fortnite.
Prerequisites to Gifting Skins in Fortnite
If you’re planning to gift a skin in Fortnite, there are some important requirements you should know about. First, you’ll need to have enough V-Bucks in your account (at least 800, which is the cost of the cheapest skin available). Moreover, you’ll also need your 2-FA to be enabled.
Last and most importantly, you will need friends. The game requires you to have been friends with the person you want to gift to for at least 48 hours. You’ll also need to be at least level 2 in the game, which shouldn’t take long to achieve.
How to Gift Skins in Fortnite
Follow the steps below to learn how to gift to skins in Fortnite:
- Launch Fortnite and go to the Item Shop from the main menu.
- Find the skin you want to gift.
- Instead of the regular purchase button, look for the BUY AS A GIFT button.
- Select your friend from the list (you’ll see a notice if they already own the skin).
- Confirm your purchase, and you’re all done.
Remember, once you send a gift, it can’t be refunded, so double-check everything before confirming! Also, there’s a daily limit of 5 gifts per person, so you can’t go on an unlimited gifting spree.
