How to Get the FNCS Aegis Back Bling for Free in Fortnite

Even though Epic Games has taken Fortnite in all sorts of directions with the addition of Rocket Racing, Lego Fortnite, and Fortnite Festival, many gamers still play to enjoy the standard Battle Royale game mode. The competitive scene is now bigger than ever, and players have the opportunity to win millions thanks to the FNCS (Fortnite Champion Series) grand prize.

Epic Games has decided to give away the Aegis back bling to Fortnite fans, a 2024 FNCS-themed cosmetic, but it'll only be available for free for a limited time, so gamers must act fast before it's no longer available. This guide will tell players everything they need to do in order to get this item in their in-game locker.

How to Get the Aegis Back Bling for Free

Players have the opportunity to get the Aegis back bling for free this weekend. Just like the Champion Stash'd skin, even though it was initially free, it might eventually hit the Item Shop for a price. Gamers who earned the 2024 FNCS skin for free at the start of February won't want to miss this chance to get another free FNCS item, especially since the cosmetics go quite well together.

To receive the Aegis back bling in Fortnite, players have to watch at least 30 minutes of the FNCS Major 1 Grand Finals on February 24 or 25.

How to Watch the Major 1 Grand Finals

To watch the FNCS Major 1 Grand Finals, gamers will have to visit the official Fortnite Competitive website. The competition will be live on February 24 and 25, and players can tune in around 8 PM ET or 7 PM CET.

Only players who tune in for a minimum of 30 minutes will be eligible to receive the Aegis back bling. Unlike Battle Pass cosmetics, many FNCS items are not exclusive to giveaway events, so fans who miss out on this opportunity will most likely be able to purchase the back bling in the Item Shop at a later date.
