Fortnite Chapter 6 – Season 4 has been all about squashing bugs! In the first two weeks of the season, Fortnite players have squashed over one billion of them, which is why Epic Games is giving away a free back bling. This cosmetic item is a reward for all the work players have done so far in the season and will be granted soon.

In this article, we’ll reveal all the details regarding the free Fortnite item. If you’re not sure how to get it or when it will be released, here’s everything you need to know about it.

Will Fortnite add sprites as a free back bling?

On Friday night, Epic Games revealed that players have squashed over a billion bugs in Season 4. As a reward, the Fortnite developer will add a free back bling in a future update, and this item will be given to everyone.

To claim the item, all you need to do is log in to the game once Epic adds it. It will immediately appear in your locker, and you’ll be able to equip it. While the release date of the reward is currently unknown, we expect it to come out with the next update on Tuesday, August 26.

At the moment, no one knows what the free Fortnite back bling is going to look like. There have been rumors about a sprite back bling, although this hasn’t been confirmed yet. Considering that Epic hasn’t added the free item yet, it’s nearly impossible to tell what it will look like. Fortunately, the next update is right around the corner!

In the meantime, make sure to unlock all the free Fortnite skins. Some of them are available for a limited time, so grab them before they expire.
