Fortnite codes

Fortnite currently has one code available, but you need to be quick redeeming it, as it's limited to 25 million uses before it expires.

Here's all of the current active codes in Fortnite:

  • BANANNANANANA - Nanner Ringer Emote (Rare)

The Nanner Ringer Emote can be used in the Battle Royale, Fortnite Festival, and Lego Fortnite modes.

How to redeem codes in Fortnite

Here's step-by-step instructions for how to redeem codes in Fortnite:

  1. Go to the official code redemption website.
  2. Sign-in to the Epic Games account you use to play Fortnite.
  3. Enter the code.
  4. Click the 'Activate' option.
  5. Launch Fortnite to automatically get your reward!

You will know a code has been successfully redeemed when you next launch Fortnite, as a pop-up reward screen will appear. If you're logged on to Fortnite while redeeming the code and don't see it in your locker, exit the game then log-in again.

If the code isn't working for you on the redemption website, make sure you're entering it with all capital letters and no dashes. If it's still not working, the code might have reached its maximum usage limit.

How to redeem V-Bucks codes

Keep in mind that the above method is not how you redeem V-Bucks codes, as they have their own separate redemption method.

Here's how to redeem V-Bucks codes in Fortnite:

  1. Go to the official V-Bucks code redemption website and select 'Get Started'.
  2. Sign-in to the Epic Games account you use to play Fortnite.
  3. Scratch of the security covering and enter the V-Bucks code (with no dashes).
  4. Select the platform you want to redeem the V-Bucks on, then click 'Next'.
  5. Make sure all of your details are correct, then select 'Confirm'
  6. If you're playing on Xbox or PlayStation, redeem the newly generated code on your console or the Xbox and PlayStation redemption websites.
  7. Enjoy your V-Bucks!

The new Xbox code generated will be 25 characters long, and the new PlayStation code will be 12 characters long.
