Battle Pass is a very intriguing feature in Fortnite Battle Royale. It allows players to unlock in-game features by leveling up throughout the season. Leveling up allows you to progress to the various tiers on the pass, which in turn rewards you with loot like skins, emotes, and gliders as you level up. Moreover, you can also gift Battle Passes to your friends if you wish to.

Streamers often distribute battle passes as a form of a giveaway on their channels. It might not sound very extravagant, but it’s a neat feature. You need to go through the following steps in order to gift someone a battle pass.

The most common method of doing this is by inserting the username of the player you want to add. Each player has a unique username which makes the job easy.

You can access the Social tab in settings that will allow you to initiate the process. You can also just press the start button, while in the lobby, and it will redirect you to an option from where you can add friends.

Fortnite also gives you friend suggestions in the game. This enables you to socialize with people you didn’t know play Fortnite.

Remember, you cannot send gifts to someone who hasn’t accepted your friend request.
