Gifting a battle pass in Fortnite is a thoughtful gesture to help friends fully experience the exciting collaborations and features in the ever-popular battle royale game. While the cosmetics included in each pass change with every season, players can unlock various rewards by leveling up, ensuring an up-to-date wardrobe and enhancing their gameplay experience.
Not only does a battle pass offer countless hours of fun and entertainment, but it also serves as a productive way for players to earn V-Bucks through leveling up. The rewards provided by a fully leveled battle pass can essentially fund the purchase of the next season’s battle pass, ensuring continuous enjoyment for players and their friends. In this guide, we will explore how to gift a Battle Pass in Fortnite.
How to Gift a Battle Pass on Fortnite?
To present a Battle Pass to someone in Fortnite, first, log in to the game. Upon reaching the menu, locate the Battle Pass tab and select it. Following these steps:
- Access the Fortnite Battle Pass tab.
- If you already own the current season’s Battle Pass, it will prompt you to open the Fortnite Battle Pass page.
- Once the Battle Pass screen is open, a Gift button will appear at the bottom right corner.
- Click the Gift Battle Pass button to proceed.
- A new tab displaying your Fortnite friends list will open.
- Select the desired friend to receive the Battle Pass, and click Continue.
- Depending on your platform, add funds to your account linked to Epic Games or input your credit card information to purchase the Battle Pass. (Note: Gifting a Battle Pass requires real money, not V-Bucks).
- Optional: Personalize the gift box containing the Battle Pass.
- Click Send, delivering the gift instantly to your friend.
Take note that you must be friends with your intended Battle Pass recipient for a minimum of two days beforehand. Additionally, enable multi-factor authentication on your account to gift items.
Be aware of the limitation – you may only gift up to five times per day. Furthermore, gifts purchased or received are non-refundable. However, in exceptional cases where the gifter and recipient both purchase a Battle Pass within a short timeframe, Epic Games may issue a token. This token enables the original buyer to acquire the next Battle Pass or receive a refund of 950 V-Bucks at the start of the following season.
How much does it cost to gift a Fortnite Battle Pass?
Gifting a Fortnite Battle Pass requires spending 950 V-bucks. Players can’t directly use real money to buy the pass; instead, they must purchase V-Bucks first and then use those to acquire the Battle Pass. The cost of V-Bucks may vary depending on the region. For free-to-play players, it’s advisable to save V-Bucks throughout the season and obtain the Battle Pass when they reach 950 V-Bucks.
Troubleshooting: Can’t Gift a Fortnite Battle Pass? Give This a Shot
If you’re struggling to gift a Battle Pass, consider changing your payment method. Additionally, ensure the recipient has enabled the accept gifts option in their player settings, allowing you to send them the gift directly. Since the Fortnite developers fixed a gifting bug in 2023, the process should be running smoothly.
In the unlikely event that you continue to have issues with gifting a Battle Pass, reach out to Epic’s support center to address the problem with the developers themselves.
