| How To Enable Fortnite Gifting |
But First, a Word From Our Lawyers (Kind Of)
Before we dive in, there are a few bold requirements to become a gifting master:
- Level Up, Scrub!: You gotta be at least level 2 to be a gifting hero. No noob gifting allowed!
- Be BFFs: The lucky recipient of your generosity needs to be on your Epic Games friends list for at least two whole days. No random gifting to strangers (sorry, Lonely Ramirez).
- Security Squad: Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) is your key to the gifting vault. It adds an extra layer of security, so Epic Games knows it's really you sending those V-Bucks, not some sneaky Rust Lord.
Alright, Alright, Alright! Let's Get Gifting!
- Fire Up Your Epic Games Launcher (or your preferred Fortnite device) and log in. You're almost there!
- Look for the Gear Icon (it's like a settings button) and give it a click.
- Now, Seek Out the Silhouette (don't worry, it's not a ghost, it's the Account and Privacy tab).
- Content is King (and Gifting): Scroll down until you see the glorious section called "Content." This is where the magic happens.
- Can You Receive Gifts? This should be set to "Yes". If not, give it a click and make sure you're ready to receive those sweet, sweet skins!
Congratulations! You've officially unlocked the gifting superpower. Now go forth and spread holiday cheer... even if it's the middle of July.
Tip: Note one practical point from this post.
Pro Tip: While you're browsing the settings, you can also enable gifting for others on your account. Just find the "Can Send Gifts" option and turn it on!
