Might be a useful reminder for those that don't play as often or don't visit the item shop frequently:

It’s been no secret that over the past 24 hours we’ve been experiencing issues with our services that have prevented many of you from playing Battle Royale and Save the World. We’re sorry. We know how frustrating this has been.

We messed up here. As thanks for being awesome and patient, we’re doing the following:
For Battle Royale players, this weekend we’ll be offering a Back Bling gift that you can pick up in the store for free.
For our Save the World folks, this weekend we will be offering a Troll Stash Llama in the loot tab for free.

Next week, we will be granting a pack of Battle Stars to our Battle Royale players and Seasonal Gold to the Save the World players. This will require brief additional downtime, so we will be including it as a part of our planned update next week.

__

How to claim:

Battle Royale (Available on PC/Mac/PS4/XB1/iOS):

Back bling: claim it at the Battle Royale item shop [Expires 20/04/2018]
Battle Stars: At the title screen, once you update and restart or finish a round "Claim Reward" green button should be available.

Save the World (Available on PC/Mac/PS4/XB1 requires at minimum Standard Edition of Fortnite):

Troll Stash Llama: claim by selecting the loot tab in Save the World. [Expires 20/04/2018]
1600 seasonal gold: Auto pop-up or claim by the Event Store in Save the World.
“Into the Storm” Llama: Login every day from 4/19/2018 to 4/22/2018.** These llamas will not stack and will rotate out when the new one rotates in. Remember, you MUST log in and collect your free llama each day to get them all.

These are just in game items for the respective game titles. Fortnite: Battle Royale (PVP) is free and Fortnite: Save the Word, costs money (Standard Edition) (PVE). Normally such in game items costs V-bucks (mainly real money > in-game currency), the Troll Stache Llama is worth 500 V-bucks currently and cosmetics like the back bling offered here can often be 500+ V-bucks.

Update:

We granted 1600 seasonal gold as a thanks for your patience during our extended downtime last week. There is currently an issue where the gift box may not appear on your first log in, the gold is still granted and the box will appear on relaunch. (You will not receive double seasonal gold). You may need to access the Event Store for the gold to pop up.

Also, beginning at 8pm (ET) we’re going to be granting one free “Into the Storm” Llama every day from 4/19/2018 to 4/22/2018. These llamas will not stack and will rotate out when the new one rotates in. Remember, you MUST log in and collect your free llama each day to get them all.

    I'm dumb - how do I claim this?

      Put up your hand.

    • 18 on 16/04/2018 - 06:52

      just buy it in the item shop. It should be free

    • Detective Pikachu on 16/04/2018 - 06:52

      For the back bling claim it at the Battle Royale item shop and for the Troll Stash Llama claim by selecting the loot tab in Save the World.

  • ATTS on 16/04/2018 - 07:53

    do you have to have that Battle Royale players game to claim the other games?

    • Detective Pikachu on 16/04/2018 - 07:54

      These are just in game items for the respective game titles. Fortnite: Battle Royale (PVP) is free and Fortnite: Save the Word, costs money (Standard Edition) (PVE). Normally such in game items costs v-bucks (mainly real money > in-game currency), especially the back bling or can be obtained by completing certain achievements (Llama).

    Confirmed - redeemed both just now on PS4!

    • redpump on 16/04/2018 - 09:07

      I suck on console, do you have any tips on how I can play better on ps4?

      • Jamiea on 16/04/2018 - 09:55

        Step 1: Don't play on console

        • redpump on 16/04/2018 - 12:51

          My PC is acting strange, can't open chests because of keyboard character repeat. I tried turning on filter keys to no avail.

        • Detective Pikachu on 16/04/2018 - 13:17

          @redpump:

          If it's a Fortnite specific issue try resetting your keyboard mapping to default.

      • Detective Pikachu on 16/04/2018 - 13:34

        If it's related to aiming try turning on/off auto aim and changing sensitivity to suit your needs.

        Lastly, ultimate guide is this unfortunately.

    Is this for pre existing users only? Cant see it in the item shop as a new user

  • wayfastwhitie on 16/04/2018 - 13:00

    Asking for my young bloke. How do you accept party invitations on fortnite xbone. He sees it pop up on screen….but doesnt know the process to accept.

    • Herotype on 16/04/2018 - 21:03

      Hold down the Xbox logo when it pops up or click the logo once and it should be the second or third tab which is the party tab.

    Never mind the hats, where do I find this Linux client!?

    • Detective Pikachu on 16/04/2018 - 13:14

      Sorry about that, I presumed they had one, was half-asleep when I posted this.

        No worries, just got me a little excited that they might have leaked it in this announcement, but it was not to be. By the way, the in-game popup says "Claim your free Back Bling in the store by 4/19", so still unclear but a bit less unclear than before.

        • Detective Pikachu on 16/04/2018 - 13:52

          Nice find, thanks for sharing this, I'll still leave the post itself as expiring tomorrow and update as needed, to avoid an unexpected expiry, but I've pinned your comment to the original post concerning your discovery.

    Any Ozbargainers keen to squad up?

  • ry34 on 17/04/2018 - 11:22

    this game (FBR) became less about skill and more about how fast your can build things in front of you when someones shooting at you.. yawn

    How do you get the Battle Stars?

    • Detective Pikachu on 21/04/2018 - 11:55

      Make sure you're up to date, it should come up as a big notification at the title screen. Sometimes there's a delay and it'd only come up after you finish a round. I got 20 battle stars from it.
