The Fortnite Champion Series is arguably the biggest event in competitive Fortnite. It's a championship in which pro players and streamers from all over the world gather to whose the best of the best. The competition started in early February, and it has now entered the Major 2 phase of the tournament.
To celebrate Chapter 4 Season 2 FNCS 2023, Epic Games is giving away the FNCS Defender back bling to players that decide to join in on the action and watch the stream. This guide will show gamers exactly what they need to do to receive this limited-time cosmetic item.
How To Get The FNCS Defender Back Bling
Fortnite is going all out for the FNCS 2023 and allowing players to get tons of items for free. For the FNCS Community Cup, gamers got the unique opportunity to unlock the Championship Aura skin and the Chapter 4 Season 2 FNCS set before they hit the Item Shop.
The FNCS Defender back bling is part of this set but cannot be obtained the same way. Gamers can get the FNCS Defender back bling by watching 30 minutes of the FNCS Major 2 Grand Finals broadcast in-game at Legends Landing.
It is unknown whether or not this reward will be available in the Item Shop for free. It's a great-looking cosmetic item, so those that have the opportunity to get their hands on it right now should definitely do it before it's gone for good or makes a return for a price.
How To Watch FNCS Major 2 Grand Finals
In the past, FNCS free cosmetic items were given away as Twitch Drops, but this time around, fans will actually have to log into Fortnite and watch it in-game to get them.
To watch the FNCS Major 2 Grand Finals, players must visit the Legends Landing island by visiting the Island Code section of the Discovery tab and inserting the code 3303-7480-5925.
The broadcast will be live on May 13 and on May 14 - these will be two days filled with competitive fun for all players. Those interested in watching can access the broadcast at the following times for each region:
