What Redditors are Saying

How to Gift Skins in Fortnite

TL;DR Currently, you cannot directly gift skins from your inventory in Fortnite. However, you can purchase V-Bucks or gift cards for someone else to buy skins themselves.

Current Gifting System

As of the latest discussions, Fortnite does not allow players to gift skins directly from their inventory to another player's account [1:3], [5:1]. This limitation means that while you might see options related to gifting in the game settings, the feature is not fully implemented for transferring existing skins between accounts.

Purchasing for Others

The most straightforward way to "gift" a skin is by purchasing it directly from the in-game shop for another player. This involves selecting a skin available in the shop and choosing the option to purchase it as a gift for a friend [4:1]. However, this method only applies to items currently available in the shop and does not allow for trading or gifting items already owned.

Alternative Methods

Since direct skin gifting isn't possible, an alternative is to provide someone with V-Bucks or gift cards. This allows them to purchase skins or other items they desire from the Fortnite store [5:2]. This method is commonly used by YouTubers when they mention giveaways, where they essentially provide the means for winners to acquire skins themselves.

Speculations and Future Updates

There have been rumors and speculations about the potential for a more comprehensive gifting system in future updates. Some players hope for a system that allows for trading or gifting from personal inventories, but concerns about scams and business implications make this unlikely [4:3], [4:5]. Epic Games has not confirmed any such features, so players should remain cautious about unofficial announcements or clickbait content claiming otherwise [3:1], [5:6].

In summary, while direct skin gifting is not yet available, purchasing V-Bucks or using the in-game gift purchase option are viable alternatives for sharing Fortnite items with others.

Gifting Skins in Fortnite BR?

Posted by SharpStealth · in r/FortNiteBR · 7 years ago

I was up at 4am with my newborn, so I was reading the patch notes while my game updated, and I could swear I saw something about item/skin gifting in there... Gone this morning.

I see the setting in-game that allows you to receive gifts, but can't figure out how to send. Everything I can find online is just click bait.

What's up with gifting, and when will it hit?

Let’s talk about gifting.

Posted by Soulsice · in r/FortNiteBR · 7 years ago

As we know nothing is confirmed, but there is a lot of aspects we have to look at.

Recently I got into an argument with people saying gifting will be something where you can gift skins and items from your inventory. Now as cool as that would be, personally, I don’t think this is what this means.

  1. Gifting means to give, not to expect something in return.

  2. Why would Epic make a system where people could open up shops to buy and sell skins when they currently frown upon buying and selling Accounts?

  3. I think they would lose out in money when people with v-buck glitches (there are some trust me, I follow a few people on IG who sell these methods) could just give people skins for (basically) free.

I could be 100% wrong, but looking at what we know so far, this is what it seems like to me.

Let me know your opinions! I am expecting a lot of downvotes and hate but I would love to hear what you guys think!

Oh, my bad. I think that you will only be able to buy skins from the shop and give them to other people. I doubt they would make it easier for people to sell skins

Gifting only means 1 thing.

[SKIN A] appears in shop, you click on [SKIN A] and then you have :

Purchase for yourself | Purchase for a friend .


I HIGHLY doubt it'll be something else.

Still new to this game, how do I give a skin to another account? I always see Youtuber's saying they are doing "skin" or "Battlepass" giveaways, how do they do it?

Posted by Cyanide814 · in r/FortNiteBR · 7 years ago

I recently got my g/f into this game and we play side by side, and she really wants one of the battle pass skins that I got. I don't use it and I want to give it to her w/o her having to buy the whole battle pass.

Is there anyway to do this?

There is currently no way to transfer skins, however, you can buy gift cards or microsoft gifts of V-bucks so that people can buy skins with said V-bucks. This is what YouTubers mean.

Gifting Skins

Posted by Frequent-Dentist-444 · in r/FortNiteBR · 1 year ago

Hello reddit. So my boyfriend tried to surprise me by gifting me a skin last night and not telling me so that i’d see it the next time I opened fortnite and because you have to close fortnite and reopen it to get the whole gift box thing, I didn’t know that I was gifted this skin so I proceeded to buy the skin for myself in the shop. What will happen now? He technically gifted me the skin before i bought it, so will he get his vbucks back? Or… What exactly happens now? When I opened fortnite today there wasn’t a gift or anything and it didn’t say that I owned the skin, he bought me. The shop fully allowed me to buy it so I’m assuming that means my boyfriend’s gift to me didn’t go through yet??

From what I’ve read by epic. It says the the gift should fail and he would be reimbursed. And if not he should contact epic. But my advice would be for you to return to the item shop and cancel your purchase. Just click on the skin your talking about and if it’s been within 24hours you should have the option to cancel purchase and the v-bucks will return in your account immediately (ever since the last update you’ve been able to cancel purchase)

Hmm, I don't think it's true that you need to fully close and reopen Fortnite in order to receive a gift.  I've definitely gotten them before after playing a match when I returned back to the lobby.

well on my ps4 that’s the only way I can receive gifts. my bf sent me two gifts last night. i didn’t get one of them until today which is when i reopened my fortnite. it’s always been like that for us. if you send someone a gift, they have to close fortnite and reopen it to receive it with the gift box

Gifting/Trading Skins

Posted by Unfair_Quality7190 · in r/FortniteBattleRoyale · 3 months ago

I wish epic would let us give/ trade our skins to our close friends. I have so many skins I don’t use or dislike that I know my brother would use! I see the legal issues of how I can easily be hacked and giving away skins but if Epic only allows it to closer friends it’s been your friend for. Let’s say over 100 days or some requirement that would help cut down on hacking or anything of the sort.

Yes you can, only if it is a permanent fortress skin. I have gifted people in my alliance in the past fortress skins I earned as a reward for those who had exceeded goals/objectives that needed to be met (I.e. person who donates the most zone passes for an alliance transfer, members who went above and beyond in performance within the alliance, etc.)

how to gift skins in Fortnite

Here are the key considerations for gifting skins in Fortnite:

  1. Gifting Requirements:

    • You must have two-factor authentication (2FA) enabled on your Epic Games account.
    • You need to be friends with the recipient for at least 48 hours.
  2. In-Game Currency:

    • Ensure you have enough V-Bucks to purchase the skin you want to gift. Skins typically range from 800 to 2,000 V-Bucks.
  3. Accessing the Item Shop:

    • Open Fortnite and navigate to the Item Shop.
    • Browse the available skins and select the one you want to gift.
  4. Gifting Process:

    • Once you select the skin, choose the "Buy as a Gift" option.
    • Select the friend you want to send the gift to from your friends list.
    • Add a personalized message if desired, then confirm the purchase.
  5. Limitations:

    • You can only gift items that are currently available in the Item Shop.
    • There may be a limit on how many gifts you can send in a day, so check the current guidelines.

Recommendation: Gifting skins can be a great way to surprise friends, especially during special events or holidays. Make sure to communicate with your friend about their preferences to ensure they’ll love the skin you choose!
