Most of these have enabled players to obtain or rent cosmetics for free, and that's the case with the new bug as well.

This article will explain everything fans need to know about the latest Fortnite glitch. It'll also provide a step-by-step guide on how one can use it to get the cosmetics that they like.

Epic Games released two fresh skins, Errant and Glitch, on Friday, November 25. They look amazing and allow players to customize them. Moreover, there is a trick you can employ to put other wraps on the two new cosmetics. By doing this, you can unlock numerous styles for both skins, as well as for any other cosmetic item that uses wraps. Here's how to benefit from the latest Fortnite glitch:

1) Purchase wrap from Item Shop

To obtain free cosmetics, you need at least 500 V-Bucks and have to buy a wrap from the Item Shop. While this may sound odd, the "Cancel Purchase" feature will allow you to return the item and get a refund, which is what you will use in the last step.


2) Equip purchased wrap

Once you've purchased the wrap you like, claim it and go back to your Locker. Here, you need to select one of the skins that can use the cosmetic you bought, such as Glitch. Open the customization menu for your skin and select your new wrap.

After that, your skin will get a new style. You can do this with every single cosmetic item, including the Signal Sever back bling. To take advantage of this Fortnite glitch, it is important to save your new style as a loadout. It is recommended that you do this before moving on to the final step of the guide. Otherwise, the process may not work properly.


3) Return purchased cosmetic item

For the last step, you have to return the cosmetic item that you purchased. To do this, open the Item Shop and the wrap that you bought. After that, hold the Cancel Purchase button to get back the V-Bucks you spent.

Once you perform the refund, the cosmetic item will be removed from your inventory. Fortunately, you can still use it in a match as you selected and saved it in the second step.

Please keep in mind that you can get a refund for cosmetic items up to 24 hours from the time of purchase. Also, you won't be able to get your V-Bucks back if you equip the item or start a match with it.
