Fortnite: How To Get Free Limited-Time Curling Iron Emote

It's not uncommon for Fortnite to give away free cosmetics every now and then. It's always an awesome feeling when unlocking a free skin or emotes. With the Winterfest event, Fortnite fans have been getting tons and tons of new items added to their in-game lockers. But the Winterfest presents aren't the only thing that's being given away.

There is a new emote that players can unlock before the end of this festive season, the Curling Iron emote. It's only around for a limited amount of time, and then it will never be available again, so it's best to claim it before time runs out. Those interested in unlocking it should keep reading to learn more.

How To Unlock The Free Curling Iron Emote in Fortnite

The requirements to unlock this emote are very simple; gamers need to play matches with five different friends during the Winterfest event. Players are still eligible for this reward regardless of the game mode that they decide to play with their friends during this time.

There is no visible 'quest' for this. Once the player met the requirements, they will receive the emote once it's available. Players have until the end of the Winterfest event - January 3, 2023, at 9 AM ET - to complete it. The free Guff Gringle skin is also available until this same date for everyone that plays on PC.

Meeting the requirements to receive this emote can be complicated for those that don't know many people playing Fortnite. But thankfully, there's a simple solution that doesn't require visiting community websites and forums such as Reddit and Discord.

Gamers that want to find someone to team up with but don't feel comfortable with chatting directly can play Team Rumble or Squads with the Fill option on. Once they get teamed up with active players (those that aren't AFK to leave immediately after being knocked out), they can send them a friend request.

Then, it's all up to inviting them to the player's party, and, at some point, someone will join. This doesn't require too much effort, and who knows if they'll end up finding the perfect teammate to join in on more Fortnite matches in the future.
