The popular ‘Refer a Friend’ event has returned to Fortnite for its third season, which gives players the chance to invite their friend to the game in order for both players to earn free rewards. This time, the Redcap skin and additional rewards are available, so here’s exactly how to complete Refer a Friend 3.0.

Fortnite has always had a heavy focus surrounding teamwork. The Battle Royale game from Epic Games has various ways to play with your friends as a part of a team in order to compete against others, level up and earn in-game rewards together through quests. Epic Games offers their own Refer a Friend program to reward these gamers who recruit their friends into their squad.

The Refer a Friend event is all about getting existing players to invite their friends who have not played Fortnite before, in order to join your team and showing them how the game works. When inviting your friend to Fortnite, not only do you help them get started, but also both of you become eligible to receive free and valuable rewards for completing related quests.

Now in Chapter 5 Season 1, Refer a Friend 3.0 allows you to grab the Redcap skin and more cosmetic items for free. Here’s how it works.

Players can get up to five rewards for free via Refer a Friend 3.0.
