Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 3 is holding another round of the “Refer A Friend” program, during which “referrers” must invite “referees” to complete tasks by playing the game together. Fulfilling the program’s various objectives will reward participants with free prizes, including Xander-themed Back Bling, Spray, Wrap, Pickaxe, and Outfit Styles. However, fans might be confused as to what constitutes a “referee” in Fortnite. While anyone can become a referee, there are several prerequisites that must be met before a player can participate in the “Refer A Friend” program. Accordingly, knowing “what is a referee” is essential for earning the program’s rewards in Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 3.

How To Play With A Referee In Fortnite

To be a referee in Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 3, the participant must have played less than two hours in the Battle Royale game mode or Zero Build playlist, including Solo, Duos, Trios, or Squads. These two hours of playtime must have occurred at least within the past 30 days before the invite to the “Refer A Friend” program.

Fortnite referrers and referees must be friends in-game to participate in this program, meaning they must have each other added to their friends list when completing the challenges. It is only required for referrers to register on the “Refer A Friend” website. However, referees who want to check their progress can freely register. Nevertheless, those participating as a referrer will be unable to be a referee and vice versa, as the rewards from the program can only be obtained once. “Refer A Friend” began on July 19 and will continue until January 10, 2023. Therefore, there is no need to rush to complete these tasks. 

Below are all the challenges that “Refer A Friend” referrers and referees must fulfill to earn the free cosmetic rewards in Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 3:

    1. Create a Connection | Reward: Spray
    1. Play One Game in Fortnite with a Referee | Reward: Wrap
    1. Place Top 10 6 Times with Your Referee | Reward: Back Bling in Fortnite
    1. Eliminate 45 Opponents with Your Referee | Reward: Pickaxe
    1. Gain Plus 60 Levels On Your Own and Wait for Your Referee to Gain 60 Levels Too | Rewards: Xander Outfit Styles

For clarification, “Create a Connection” requires Fortnite players to add a friend, aka their referee, to their “Refer A Friend” progression. Once the five tasks above have been completed, all participating referrers and referees should possess all the free rewards.

Fortnite is available on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.
