Fortnite Gift Skins UPDATE: How to give skins in Season 6? Latest news from Epic Games REVEALED

The Fortnite Gifting system was leaked several months ago, but we finally have our first video footage in Fortnite Battle Royale.

Earlier in the day, a Fortnite leak, @ The1Jaren A video footage revealed on Twitter showed a short video showing exactly how the donation system could and should work in the game.

According to the appearance of the video, you should be able to offer gifts to players from the store of articles and send them to several people at once.

Although there seems to be some limitations, to know how many times you can send gifts.

You can also personalize your gift with a personalized message.

There is still no The details on the release date of the gift feature, however, we would imagine it being apparently finished and ready to work, we should see it in an upcoming update in a not too distant future.

The Fortnite Gift Skins feature did not arrive in Season 5 and, although it was hoped that it could happen as part of the new Season 6 game update, the fans were once again disappointed.

This is not to say that Epic does not plan to publish the gift feature during Fortnite Season 6 in the coming weeks, but simply that it was not intended as the most important thing. one of the main titles of season 6.

However, it is becoming increasingly strange that Epic has added the files related to Skin Donations to the game so long ago without doing more.

Like so many other long awaited features, such as the upcoming Fortnite Twitch Prime Pack, we will have to wait patiently to find out when Epic Games intends to release these features.

Stay tuned for updates throughout Season 6 …

DELAY IN THE FORTNITE GIFTING SYSTEM

Many weeks ago, Fortnite added a gift feature to the game, but, importantly, it was not live.

A few weeks later, the Games 4.5 update provided further proof of the implementation of the donation system, which clarified the functionality of the feature and the various messages in the game that users would see.

A few weeks later, the Fortnite STILL donation system is no longer operational. And unfortunately, for the moment, we do not know when the match will be broadcast.

The only conclusion we can draw right now is that, in order of importance, the donation is fairly low on the list.

The developers of Epic Games have probably focused on more important features, such as Playground V2 (recently reinstated in the game) and the launch of the Android version of Fortnite, officially announced last week.

We believe that the gifts could be finally introduced once the Android version is fully launched, which could still take a few weeks.

FORTNITE GIFTING RELEASE IMMINENT?

Epic Games' new Fortnite Gifting feature may be available much sooner than expected, with new evidence in the latest game update suggesting that developers are starting the process to release the new feature very soon.

As mentioned earlier, the Fortnite Battle Royale donation function first appeared in Update 4.5 released on June 27, 2018 a few weeks ago.

But as the Fortnite Battle Royale Leaks Twitter account shows (@FNBRLeaks) the new update contains various new text strings referring to the donation system.

For example, the displayed text contains various messages that may accompany gifted objects, such as "I hope you like this gift." Good luck; have fun! "and error messages of the type" We do not find the article you want to offer (we even checked the reservation. ")."

Some messages also suggest that the currency can be used to buy gifts for other purposes, with text strings indicating:

"Sorry, you do not have enough money to offer these items." There are also several examples of "V-bucks" that might suggest that the game currency will be used to buy items for donation purposes.

One of the lines also says "optional message up to 100 characters", which suggests that you might be able to leave personalized messages when a gift.

Of course, all this could change significantly before it goes live, but since this is the first example of files added for the donation function since the initial revelation a few weeks ago, we could see it working in the not too distant future. .

Potentially, next Tuesday, with the next major update of the game in the games.

Original story – In Fortnite Update 4.5, players noticed that Fortnite Battle Royale offered the ability to give skins and items to other players.

This new mechanic is not yet operational in the game, but thanks to players who have reviewed the data files provided with the 4.5 update, we already know a lot about the current Battle Royale feature.

The new option, which is under "Account and Content", will allow Fortnite players to activate the ability to "receive gifts from third parties".

Epic has not yet revealed what this would entail, but we assume that it will let players offer their friends skins or other cosmetic items from the game.

We do not know if Epic will allow players to transfer V-Bucks or Emotes to other players, but generally, in games like this, currency is locked on accounts; we will have to wait and see.

After the fans saw the gift in Fortnite, Epic Games confirmed it was coming "in the future," although the developer has not yet revealed the date on which the feature would disappear.

In a Reddit article, Mr. Epo, an employee of Epic and Redditor, said, "The gift will come in the future."

"We do not have an exact date to share, but we will inform you as soon as we do."

This feature seems to have been introduced behind the scenes with the 4.5 update. But at the time of writing this article, we are currently in Fortnite season 5 and the new donation feature is showing no sign of launch at the moment.

The last update of the game is scheduled for tomorrow, Tuesday, July 17, but again, it does not appear that the gift function is outside this particular update, at least based on the first notes of update.

"Check out what's new in the v5.0 content update! Available tomorrow, July 17 at 8 am Eastern Time (12:00 GMT), "reads in the new tweet of Epic Games.

This means that UK fans should be able to download the new game update from 13h TSB.

In a follow-up tweet, the developer also assured fans that there would be no downtime for this content update.

Full patch notes for the new content update will be revealed at 13h British time when the update is available.

Epic usually shares the release notes via the Fortnite Trello board, and if it's believed to be true, the new Battle Royale update will include a fix for an issue where stats are not saved correctly .

"We are investigating a problem where player statistics are not always correctly reported," notes a statement from Epic.

Epic is also studying a problem of voice chat on PC, as well as a problem related to the lack of items in the bin. The developer also said he was looking for a problem with toilet paper and contrails from the Chinese lantern that did not appear.
