Fortnite fans are in for a treat this week with a new free giveaway that is live right now. Players can claim the Heart Sign emote from the Item Shop at no cost, and if they do it the right way, there is a secret bonus reward waiting too. These promotions are only around for a short time, so anyone looking to add free cosmetics to their collection will want to act quickly.

Epic Games has added the Heart Sign emote to the Fortnite Item Shop, and it can be redeemed for free until October 5. Even better, players who pick it up through the Fortnite Web Item Shop instead of in-game will also receive the Goldskull Peel Pack back bling, a black-and-gold banana-themed cosmetic that is completely exclusive to this promotion. The Heart Sign emote is a cheerful addition that lets players express themselves in matches or lobbies. Like many emotes, it normally would cost V-Bucks, but this week it costs nothing to add it permanently to your locker. Free cosmetics in Fortnite are rare enough, but this offer also includes a bonus that makes it stand out even more.
The Goldskull Peel Pack back bling is the hidden highlight of the deal. Styled after Fortnite’s popular Peely character, it comes in a striking black-and-gold color scheme. It is not sold separately and cannot be purchased directly, meaning the only way to get it is to claim the Heart Sign emote from the web shop before the deadline. That makes it an exclusive cosmetic likely to become highly sought-after among collectors.
To unlock both rewards, players can log into their Epic Games account on the official Fortnite Web Item Shop. From there, the Heart Sign emote can be “purchased” for free and will be added instantly to the locker. The Goldskull Peel Pack will appear shortly afterward for those who redeemed it online. Players who claim the emote only in-game will still receive Heart Sign, but they will miss out on the back bling. You will need to ensure that you’re logged into your Epic Account to complete the transaction.
The promotion is available worldwide on every Fortnite platform, including PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo Switch, PC, and mobile. Because cosmetics are tied to Epic Games accounts rather than specific devices, the items will be accessible no matter where you play. Epic Games has made a habit of surprising its community with giveaways like this, often tied to special events or updates. Past rewards have included all manner of goodies, including free sprays and emotes, but this particular offer stands out for giving players two cosmetics at once, with one of them locked behind a special redemption method.
With only two days left, the clock is already ticking on this promotion. The Heart Sign emote will disappear from the Item Shop after October 5, and the Goldskull Peel Pack will no longer be obtainable once the window closes. There’s hardly any guarantee that either of these cosmetic items will ever return, so act fast. Anyone who wants both rewards should log in and claim them now before they are gone for good.
