Today, I finally got a chance to try out those Fortnite codes everyone’s been talking about. I saw this code, 9BS9-NSKB-JAT2-8WYA, somewhere online, said it was a reward for Chapter 4. Figured, why not give it a shot? So, I booted up my PC and opened the Epic Games Launcher.
First thing I did was log into my Fortnite account. Gotta make sure you’re logged in, otherwise, how’s it gonna know where to send the goodies, right? I double-checked I was in the right account ’cause one time I accidentally used my little brother’s account, and man, was he mad when he didn’t get his stuff!

Next, I found where to redeem the code. It took a bit of clicking around – I went to my profile, then settings, and finally found the “Redeem Code” section. They don’t exactly make it easy to find, I tell ya. It’s like they’re hiding it on purpose!
Then came the fun part – typing in the code. I made sure to put it in exactly as I saw it: 9BS9-NSKB-JAT2-8WYA. Caps matter, apparently. Who knew? I triple-checked each letter and number because one wrong move and you get nothing. I’ve made that mistake before with other codes, and it’s such a bummer when you get your hopes up for a cool new skin or something and then… nothing.
After I hit that “Redeem” button, the game told me I had to restart it for the changes to take effect. Fine by me. I closed Fortnite and relaunched it, feeling like a kid on Christmas morning. Would it be a cool skin? Maybe some V-Bucks? Or some other random emote I’d never use? The suspense was real, let me tell you!
When Fortnite loaded back up, guess what? I got a notification saying I got new stuff! Turns out the code gave me some pretty sweet in-game rewards. It wasn’t V-Bucks or anything, but still, free stuff is free stuff, am I right? I immediately went to check out my new loot.
Here is the whole process I went through:
- Opened Epic Games Launcher and logged into my Fortnite account.
- Navigated to the “Redeem Code” section in my profile settings.
- Carefully entered the code 9BS9-NSKB-JAT2-8WYA, making sure to use all caps.
- Restarted the game as prompted.
- Received a notification about new items upon relaunching.
In Conclusion
Overall, it was a pretty smooth experience. I mean, finding where to redeem the code was a bit of a pain, but once I got that sorted, it was all good. It’s always nice to get free stuff, even if it’s just some random digital goodies. I’ll definitely be keeping an eye out for more of these codes in the future. Who knows, maybe next time I’ll get lucky and snag some V-Bucks or a really cool skin. Fingers crossed!
