Guide by Diego Nicolás Argüello Contributor Updated on 26 Oct 2021 Do you have someone in mind to toss an invite? Here's how to refer a friend in Fortnite and unlock the Rainbow Racer skin and other rewards. Refer a friend in Fortnite allows you to invite a pal who's new to the game and earn multiple rewards in the process. Working similarly to the reboot a friend program, which was reintroduced in early 2021, this program is targeted at new players who may want to get started on the game or just played for a short window of time thus far. This page will explain how to refer a friend in Fortnite as well as how to unlock the Rainbow Racer skin by completing a number of tasks beforehand. On this page: How to refer a friend in Fortnite explained Fortnite refer a friend sign-up end date When does refer a friend ends Fortnite refer a friend rewards - how to unlock Rainbow Racer explained Watch on YouTube Fortnite Chapter 2 Season 8 Story Trailer How to refer a friend in Fortnite explained Refer a friend is a fairly simple program in practice, allowing you to to become the referrer of a new Fortnite player in exchange for rewards. Thankfully, said rewards can be unlocked by both the referrer and the referee, so it's a promising incentive. In order to kickstart the program, you as the referrer have to launch the game in any platform, and then log in on the refer a friend website. Once there, select the person you want to refer from your friends list (using your Epic Games account). It's worth noting that the your friend must have played less than 120 minutes of a core Fortnite Battle Royale mode (this includes Solo, Duos, Trios or Squads) in the last 30 days (this includes new players). As such, the referrer needs to be the one who sends the invite, otherwise it won't work. May sound obvious, but we double checked this just in case! An easier way to send an invite is, once you're logged in on the site and following the steps, the site will give you the option to just share a handy link to the invite. Moreover, you can have up to five referees from now until the end of the program. Of course, each reward can only be earned once, but it means you can keep on helping other folks to get theirs too. That being said, there are limitations in terms of time periods to complete these tasks, which we'll explain below. Fortnite refer a friend sign-up end date When does refer a friend ends The refer a friend program in Fortnite is divided into two periods, so it's best for you to jump in and get started as soon as possible.
