Fortnite Chapter 5

Epic Games is offering Fortnite players a free emote for a limited time, and it will allow you to call on your squad with a Bird Call.

Pairing nicely with the Birds of a Feather skins, both new and old, this emote has you clap your hands together, bring them to your mouth, and blow out the sounds of a bird.

Everyone loves free skins and other cosmetics, but despite it being considered an earnable item, there’s a catch. We’ll explain how you can get the Bird Call emote in Fortnite before your chance is up.

How to receive Bird Call emote

From October 2 to November 1, Fortnite players can earn the Bird Call emote for free with any purchase of V-Bucks. So although it’s not technically free, it’s considered a bonus digital item to go along with your V-Bucks purchase.

This not only works when buying this currency through the game itself, but anytime you redeem V-Bucks codes during October you’ll get the Bird Call emote. Meaning, that if you received a V-Bucks card with a code as a gift, that will count.
