Claiming Santa Dogg skin for free in Fortnite — Epic Games

Fortnite has just dropped the Santa Dogg skin, the freshest Snoop Dogg outfit, as part of the Winterfest 2024 update. You can discover the skin lounging on a couch in the Yule Log Cabin, as well as in-game at the Winterfest Cabin located on the Chapter 6 island.

Gamers can snag this outfit at no cost as part of the Winterfest 2024 gifts. The skin dropped on December 25, coinciding with the game’s Christmas festivities. Once the present is ready for claiming, head over to the Winterfest Cabin lobby denoted by a Snowflake icon on the Fortnite menu bar and unwrap the golden gift right in front of the television.

You can then claim your complimentary Santa Dogg skin. Despite the excitement surrounding the outfit, reports are surfacing of players attempting to acquire it through dubious methods using a Discord bot. Engaging in such exploits could lead to a ban by Fortnite, so it’s advisable to steer clear of these tactics.

Among the other offerings in the Yule Log Cabin, players can snag a free Bass Guitar themed after none other than Snoop Dogg. Be sure to dive into the full roster of gifts available.

Fortnite is finally getting a first-person mode next week

Fortnite Ballistic, the long-awaited first-person mode for Epic Games' hit battle royale shooter Fortnite, will finally come to the game on December 11.

Epic Games first teased a first-person Fortnite mode in March, but now we have a clearer idea of how it will play. Ballistic is a round-based 5v5 mode with no respawns, similar to competitive shooters like Valorant or Spectre Divide. A team of attackers fights to plant and detonate a Rift Point Device in certain spots on the map, while defenders fight to eliminate the other team before they can do the same. While attackers and defenders will swap their roles after six rounds, Ballistic matches are a best-of-seven affair across both ranked and unranked play.
