Fortnite WinterFest 2022: How to get the Guff Gringle skin for free

Fortnite Winterfest 2022 is finally here and has once again brought with it freebies that players can redeem in-game upon completing a set of challenges. Furthermore, some items are redeemable without doing anything at all. One of these cosmetics comes in the form of a free Guff Gringle outfit that players can claim from the Epic Games Store.

Over the past few years with Fortnite, players have had the opportunity to get several cosmetics and skins for free without completing any quests or challenges but by redeeming them from the game's PC store. While PlayStation gamers receive free cosmetics from their monthly PS Plus pack with every new Fortnite season, PC players often feel left out.

Well, now that Winterfest is here, every player has an equal chance to redeem the free outfit without any subscription. Instead, they simply need to log in to the Epic Games Launcher on their PC and redeem the outfit for free.

However, like with every other free cosmetic, this one comes with a limited time frame and will not be available in the item shop at a later date. Here are more details on how you can get the Guff Gringle skin for free during Fortnite Winterfest 2022.

Get the Guff Gringle outfit for free from Epic Games Store in Fortnite Winterfest 2022

The Guff Gringle outfit will be available exclusively for PC players today, December 13, 2022, from 3 am PT until 9 am PT on January 3, 2023. The skin is a winter-themed version of the infamous Guff skin first seen in Chapter 2.

When the skin was first released, it was a popular choice for many players, although others disliked it due to its size and how it affected their gameplay. Nevertheless, the winter-themed version merges shades of red, yellow, and white to form the Guff Gringle with a mustache.

To redeem the Guff Gringle outfit for free, players need to open their Epic Games Launcher and head to the Store menu.

From there, they need to look for Fortnite and head over to the store's page for the game.

Once there, under the Add Ons tab, they will be able to see the outfit listed for free.

Simply click on the 'Get' button to redeem the free outfit. Now all you need to do is start your game and the cosmetic item will be waiting for you to redeem under the Fortnite menu. You can then head over to your locker and equip the skin.

There are two variants of this free skin that players will come across. The Guff Gringle skin is a red variant that can be redeemed for free from the Epic Games Store, while the Sled Ready Guff is a brown variant that players can acquire for free from presents during Winterfest 2022.

There are rumors that the Winterfest Cabin will return again and players will have the chance to open presents and get free in-game cosmetics. Additional quests may also grant players free cosmetics as part of the Winterfest 2022 challenges.

Apart from the challenges, new weapons and Christmas trees around the island will also feature in the game. Players can now wait for the servers to go live to experience and enjoy their favorite annual Fortnite event.
