You Got a Friend in Need of a Battle Pass? How to Be Their Fortnite Fairy Godmother (or Godfather)!
So, your buddy's been dropping into Fortnite matches with more fashion sense than fighting finesse. They're rocking the default skin while everyone else is strutting around in capes and glowing bear costumes. Fear not, for you, my friend, are about to become their Fortnite Fairy Godmother (or Godfather, no judgement here).
Step 1: Embrace the Gift-Giving Grind (it's easier than you think)
First things first, you can't just toss a Battle Pass at someone like a banana peel (although, strategically placed banana peels can be pretty effective in Fortnite). Thankfully, gifting a Battle Pass is easier than mastering the art of the 90s build.
Here's the lowdown:
- You'll need to be Epic friends with your recipient for at least 48 hours. Consider it a friendship-warming test before you drop some V-Bucks on them.
- Two-factor authentication is your new BFF. It adds an extra layer of security and makes Epic Games happy, which is always a good thing.
- You gotta have those V-Bucks! These are Fortnite's magical currency, and you can buy them with real-world money. No gifting Battle Passes with your hard-earned V-Bucks stash, sorry!
Step 2: The Gifting Gauntlet (a.k.a. navigating the Fortnite menus)
Alright, with the pre-reqs out of the way, it's time to unleash your inner gift-giving champion!
- Boot up Fortnite and channel your inner hero.
- Head to the Battle Pass tab. It's usually lookin' mighty shiny on the main menu.
- Look for the glorious "Gift the Battle Pass" button. This is your key to becoming a legend (or at least a really cool friend).
- Pick your recipient from your Epic friends list. Double-check the name! You don't want to accidentally gift your Battle Pass to that one guy who keeps stealing your loot.
- Confirm the purchase with the confidence of a true sharpshooter. Remember, V-Bucks only when it comes to gifting that sweet Battle Pass.
Voila! Your friend has officially ascended from fashion faux pas to fabled warrior (hopefully).
Bonus Round: You've Got the Power (to troll...responsibly)
Gifting a Battle Pass is a noble act, but where's the fun in just being good? Here are a few ways to add a dash of playful trolling to your gift-giving:
- Leave a hilarious message when you confirm the purchase. Something like, "Consider this a bribe for carrying me in all those duos matches."
- Gift them an unexpected skin. Does your friend always play it safe? Surprise them with a bright pink unicorn outfit.
- Wait until the last minute. The suspense will be killing them...almost as much as their lack of a Battle Pass.
Remember, with great gifting power comes great responsibility. Troll responsibly, and most importantly, have fun!
