Every now and then, Fortnite gives players the opportunity to acquire skins for free if they manage to complete a set of challenges before time runs out. Players can participate in the Refer a Friend event and win cosmetic rewards with their friends by playing together - this event is similar to the Reboot Rally that takes place every few months.
Gamers can win the Redcap skin for free as well as the rest of its cosmetic set by participating in the Refer a Friend 3.0 program. This guide will show players everything they need to do in order to acquire these Fortnite items.
How to Participate in the Refer a Friend 3.0 Event
In order to join the Refer a Friend 3.0 program, fans must visit the official Fortnite Refer a Friend website and log in using their Epic Games account.
This campaign's goal is to incentivize players who have stopped playing Fortnite to return and to get new players to try the Battle Royale as well.
Gamers will be considered eligible as returning players if they've played less than two hours in the last 30 days.
Fans can invite a friend by visiting the Friends List section of the Refer a Friend page and selecting the "Add a Friend" option. Eligible friends will appear at the top of the list, and players only have to select them and choose "add". Gamers can invite multiple players, and each friend will have their own quest progress bar on the website.
How to Unlock All Refer a Friend Items
To get the Redcap skin for free in Fortnite, players have to complete five quests. As soon as they add a friend to the Refer a Friend program, they'll complete the first quests and unlock the free spray. Then, they must enter Fortnite, join their party, and complete the remaining quests together in-game.
Here are all the quests that the players must complete together and the rewards that they'll unlock:
