Fortnite Glow skin: How to get the Glow skin from a Samsung Friend

Epic Games has provided a guide that makes it very easy to work out if you can download and claim the new Fortnite Glow Skin.

Bundled with an exclusive emote, the new items are available to qualifying players until the end of the year.

But only certain people who play Fortnite Battle Royale have access to it right now and probably in the future too.

First of all, you need to have a Samsung device even to get started. But the good news is that if you haven't, there is a way to get a Glow Skin.

The reason for needing a Samsung device is that you can only grab this skin by accessing the Galaxy Store, not the Google Playstore.

If Fortnite is not available within Galaxy Store on your device, it means your device is unfortunately not eligible.

"You will need first to install Fortnite. Only one Fortnite GLOW outfit is granted per device," a message from Epic Games confirms.

"Eligible devices must have all current Samsung software updates downloaded and installed from the Settings menu, and Fortnite must be available within Galaxy Store."

The good news for fans who don't have the right Samsung device is that you can ask a friend who does to offer it to you.

A message from Epic Games confirms: "Tap the Fortnite GLOW outfit again to choose the option to redeem the outfit and emote for yourself or gift it to a friend, by 12/31/19.

This is great news for fans who don't have one of the following devices: "Samsung Galaxy Note10, Note10+ or Note10+ 5G, S10e, S10, S10+ or S10 5G, Note9, S9, S9+, Note8, S8, S8+ or S8 Active, S7, S7 edge or S7 Active, Tab S6, Tab S4, Tab S3 or Tab S3 Wi-Fi, A9, A70, A80 or A90."

Here's more on the Fortnite Glow process on Samsung devices:

Make sure your store is set to Samsung in Settings > Account > Content > Android Store Selection.

If Fortnite is downloaded through Galaxy Store, Android Store selection is automatically set to Samsung and will not appear in the settings.

Go to the Fortnite Store.

Tap on the Fortnite GLOW outfit.

The Fortnite GLOW outfit should appear in the Fortnite Store under Limited Time Offers.

A notice will pop up asking you to register a credit card if you have not done so already.

Click Next on the pop-up and register a credit card (your card will not be charged).

For fans who don't have a Samsung device and want the new Glow skin, you can ask a friend to claim one for you.

To do this, Two-factor authentication will need to be enabled for Gifting and the skin itself can only be gifted when it is being redeemed and not from your Locker.

If you opt in to the 2FA feature, each time you sign in using your password, you'll receive a security code that is good for one use.

To enable 2FA you must:

Under the "Account" page where your settings are, click on the PASSWORD & SECURITY tab to view your security settings.

At the bottom of the page, under the TWO-FACTOR AUTHENTICATION heading, click to ENABLE AUTHENTICATOR APP or ENABLE EMAIL AUTHENTICATION as your two-factor method.

If you manage to find a friend willing to provide you with a Glow skin then it will appear alongside the Levitate emote in your LOCKER.
