Players can now participate in Fortnite’s Refer a Friend program, and those that do will have the opportunity to earn a variety of unique rewards. Perhaps the most exciting of those rewards is the Rainbow Racer outfit, though fans will need to put in quite a bit of work before they unlock it. For those players that would like to learn more about how to sign up for the Refer a Friend program in Fortnite, and how to earn the associated rewards, full details can be found in this guide.

How to Sign Up for Refer a Friend in Fortnite

The first step toward joining the program is to visit Fortnite’s Refer a Friend website and login using an Epic Games account. When that is done, a battle royale fan can invite up to five friends to the program, and they will earn a reward as soon as their invitees accept. Notably, invited friends cannot have played a core game mode, such as Solos, Duos, or Squads, for more than two hours in the past 30 days, and invitations must be sent by November 14 at 11:59 PM ET.

How to Unlock Refer a Friend Rewards in Fortnite

As previously noted, Fortnite players will earn a Refer a Friend reward as soon as their invitees accept their invitations, and it is the Gridlock Loading Screen. From there, fans have until January 10, 2022 to complete a series of challenges and earn even more prizes. Here are details on those additional tasks and their associated rewards:

  • Play One Game in Fortnite with an Invitee (Miridescent Weapon Wrap)
  • Place Top 10 Three Times with Your Invitee (Flair Fare Glider)
  • Eliminate 10 Opponents with Your Invitee (Drive Shaft Pickaxe)
  • Gain Plus 60 Career Levels On Your Own and Wait For Your Invitee to Gain Plus 60 Career Levels Too (Rainbow Racer Skin)

While the first three challenges, which can be completed in Duos, Trios, and Squads, should be fairly easy to tackle, the final one is an involved endeavor. Indeed, it is true that inviters and invitees can work on this task separately from one another, but it does require quite a lot of levels to be earned. Fortunately, there are many opportunities for players to level up in Fortnite.

Primarily, those opportunities manifest as punchcard questlines, and there are a number of those available at the time of writing. Additionally, Fortnite’s Fortnitemares 2021 event is currently underway, and it features several XP-granting quests for fans to complete.

Fortnite is available for PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X.
