Epic Games has been quite generous lately, giving away numerous free cosmetics in Fortnite. In addition to free skins, the developer has given away new Kicks, back blings, and other cosmetics. Now, players can unlock a free emote for a limited time, and the process is very simple.

Earlier this week, Fortnite began Team Battles. During this event, players who earn eliminations can unlock a couple of free cosmetics, including the Unstoppable emote. However, this offer is only available for a limited time. The event is set to end on Sunday, May 10, at 11:59 PM Eastern Time, giving players a few days to get the exclusive rewards.

Here are all the details.

How to get the free Unstoppable emote in Fortnite

During Team Battles, Fortnite players can unlock five cosmetics for free. While these include sprays and banners, the highlight of the event is the Unstoppable emote. This emote hasn’t been released in the Item Shop yet and is currently exclusive to the Team Battle event.

Unlocking the emote is very simple, as players need to log in to Team Battles with their Epic Games account. Immediately after signing up for the event, players will receive the first reward, which is a spray. They need to collect badges to unlock more rewards, and one badge can be earned by getting two eliminations.

To unlock the Unstoppable emote, Fortnite players need to earn 11 badges in total. Eliminations can be earned in any Battle Royale playlist, from Solo to Squads. The easiest way to get them is by entering Fortnite bot lobbies, as they are perfect for farming eliminations.

It’s important to note that Fortnite will not grant the free Unstoppable emote right after collecting all the required badges. Instead, Epic Games will send out the reward to all eligible players starting on May 14.

These are all the rewards that are available for free during the limited-time Fortnite event:

The free Fortnite emote will likely come to the Item Shop at a later date. However, this is likely the only opportunity for Fortnite players to earn it for free.

In the meantime, players who want to get even more cosmetics can unlock a couple of free skins in Fortnite, as well as a free car. Furthermore, it’s easy to level up and unlock more cosmetics thanks to the best XP maps in Fortnite.
