You Wanna Gift That Fancy New Skin to Your Squad? Here's How to Enable Fortnite Gifting Like a Boss!
Let's face it, dropping victory royales is fun and all, but sometimes the truest joy in Fortnite comes from flexing on your friends with that legendary outfit you just snagged. But what if you, oh generous soul, desire to shower your teammates with digital swag? Well, fret no more, because this guide will turn you into a gifting guru in faster time than you can say "boogie down."
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.
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!
