If you congratulate one of your squadmates for a play they made, you may get asked to gift them skin to show that you meant your compliment. Though this is mostly an insight joke between\u00a0Fortnite\u00a0players, there will be moments where you feel like you have to gift a skin to reward a teammate for saving you countless times throughout a match. When that\u2019s the case, you\u2019ll need to know your way around the shop, so your giftee can hop into another match with their new present as soon as possible. Gifting is also an excellent feature to surprise your friends and family during special occasions. If you realize that a skin they have been talking about quite frequently has become available for purchase through the in-game shop, it can be the perfect opportunity to make their day. Here\u2019s how you can gift skins and items in\u00a0Fortnite. Before getting to the gifting process, you\u2019ll need to pick out skin or an item from the Item Shop. The items in your inventory won\u2019t be eligible for gifting since they\u2019re essentially account-bound, and there\u2019s no such thing as trading in\u00a0Fortnite. Open up the Item Shop from the top section of the main menu and take a look around the shop to see if there\u2019s something worthy of gifting. Once you decide on an item to gift, you\u2019ll need to click on it. You\u2019ll be directed to the preview page, where you\u2019ll be able to check out the skin or item yourself before gifting. You\u2019ll notice an information box toward the top left of your screen, which will have two buttons: \u201cPurchase\u201d and \u201cPurchase as a Gift.\u201d Choose \u201cPurchase as a Gift.\u201d You\u2019ll be asked to pick out a recipient from your friends list. Make sure to pick the right person since retracting gifts after they reach their final destination is a bit of a hassle.After picking out a recipient, you\u2019ll also be able to customize your gift by picking one of the four different gift boxes. You\u2019ll be able to continue and conclude the gifting process after selecting a friend. After you click on \u201cSend,\u201d your gift will be delivered to the receiver. Note that you\u2019ll need to have enough V-Bucks since you\u2019ll be purchasing them while gifting. If you don\u2019t have enough V-Bucks for the item you\u2019d like to gift, you can navigate to the V-Buck panel from the same top panel you used to open the shop. You won\u2019t be eligible to send gifts if you aren\u2019t at least level two. Enabling Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) is also another requirement to send gifts. You can follow Epic Games\u2019 guide to\u00a0enable 2FA on your account. Alongside making your account eligible for gifting, turning on 2FA will also reward you with\u00a0an emote. You can only send gifts to players who\u2019ve been on your friends\u2019 list for more than 48 hours. Only skins and items sold in the Item Shop will be eligible for gifting, meaning you won\u2019t be able to gift battle passes, items that are a part of battle pass bundles, and V-Bucks. Each player is allowed to send five gifts every day, and there\u2019s a 24-hour cooldown period before you can send any more.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/05031657\/Fortnite_KeyArt_withLogo_1080p.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/357712"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1802"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=357712"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/357712\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":359312,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/357712\/revisions\/359312"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/342548"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=357712"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=357712"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=357712"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=357712"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=357712"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=357712"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=357712"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}

If you congratulate one of your squadmates for a play they made, you may get asked to gift them skin to show that you meant your compliment. Though this is mostly an insight joke between\u00a0Fortnite\u00a0players, there will be moments where you feel like you have to gift a skin to reward a teammate for saving you countless times throughout a match. When that\u2019s the case, you\u2019ll need to know your way around the shop, so your giftee can hop into another match with their new present as soon as possible. Gifting is also an excellent feature to surprise your friends and family during special occasions. If you realize that a skin they have been talking about quite frequently has become available for purchase through the in-game shop, it can be the perfect opportunity to make their day. Here\u2019s how you can gift skins and items in\u00a0Fortnite. Before getting to the gifting process, you\u2019ll need to pick out skin or an item from the Item Shop. The items in your inventory won\u2019t be eligible for gifting since they\u2019re essentially account-bound, and there\u2019s no such thing as trading in\u00a0Fortnite. Open up the Item Shop from the top section of the main menu and take a look around the shop to see if there\u2019s something worthy of gifting. Once you decide on an item to gift, you\u2019ll need to click on it. You\u2019ll be directed to the preview page, where you\u2019ll be able to check out the skin or item yourself before gifting. You\u2019ll notice an information box toward the top left of your screen, which will have two buttons: \u201cPurchase\u201d and \u201cPurchase as a Gift.\u201d Choose \u201cPurchase as a Gift.\u201d You\u2019ll be asked to pick out a recipient from your friends list. Make sure to pick the right person since retracting gifts after they reach their final destination is a bit of a hassle.After picking out a recipient, you\u2019ll also be able to customize your gift by picking one of the four different gift boxes. You\u2019ll be able to continue and conclude the gifting process after selecting a friend. After you click on \u201cSend,\u201d your gift will be delivered to the receiver. Note that you\u2019ll need to have enough V-Bucks since you\u2019ll be purchasing them while gifting. If you don\u2019t have enough V-Bucks for the item you\u2019d like to gift, you can navigate to the V-Buck panel from the same top panel you used to open the shop. You won\u2019t be eligible to send gifts if you aren\u2019t at least level two. Enabling Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) is also another requirement to send gifts. You can follow Epic Games\u2019 guide to\u00a0enable 2FA on your account. Alongside making your account eligible for gifting, turning on 2FA will also reward you with\u00a0an emote. You can only send gifts to players who\u2019ve been on your friends\u2019 list for more than 48 hours. Only skins and items sold in the Item Shop will be eligible for gifting, meaning you won\u2019t be able to gift battle passes, items that are a part of battle pass bundles, and V-Bucks. Each player is allowed to send five gifts every day, and there\u2019s a 24-hour cooldown period before you can send any more.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/05031657\/Fortnite_KeyArt_withLogo_1080p.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/357712"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1802"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=357712"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/357712\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":359312,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/357712\/revisions\/359312"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/342548"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=357712"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=357712"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=357712"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=357712"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=357712"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=357712"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=357712"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
