Fortnite is giving away free skins to players who refer their friends over. The system is still in its Beta version but that’s not stopping the many Fortnite players who are going out of their way to get their friends to play the game with them and earn some sweet rewards that would only cost them one friend.
Fortnite keeps rolling out a lot of weekly updates amid its ongoing Season 8 content to keep things fresh for everyone. I’m sure that all the players are having fun with all the crossovers going on such as Dune, Resident Evil, and many more. However, while V-Bucks skins are fun and all, it’s the free stuff that really gets players going.
Fortnite Refer A Friend
Players can invite their friends over to play some games with them in Fortnite and complete challenges. The referrers and the referees must be in a match together in order for the challenges to count. There’s a program website that the referrers need to register on in order to participate in this limited-time program. Referees are also able to register on the website if they would like to see their own progression towards the challenges, it is entirely optional.
Qualifications for Fortnite Refer A Friend
To qualify for the Refer A Friend program in Fortnite then the referee (friend) must be someone who is an existing player that has played less than 120 minutes (three hours) of Fortnite Battle Royale in the last 30 days or is an entirely new player.
It’s important to note that participating in the program as a referee will not be able to participate as a referrer and vice versa.
