Fortnite seemed to have forgotten about Xander after adding the skin to the files in Chapter 2 Season 5. The outfit is part of the latest 21.20 update and players can unlock it for free by completing some Refer-a-Friend challenges.
Alongside Madcap, Xander is undoubtedly one of the most anticipated skins in the history of Fortnite. It has been in the files for years, and Epic Games is releasing it in Chapter 3 Season 3 as a free reward.
Fortnite’s Refer-a-Friend program is a great way to bring new players to the game. Epic Games’ battle royale title certainly looks amazing at the moment, and now is a great time to introduce your friends to it.

Here’s how to get Xander by referring a friend:
- Visit Epic Games’ Refer-a-Friend website (the site isn’t available yet, we’ll update the article as soon as it goes live)
- Log in with your Epic Games account.
- Once signed in, you can refer up to 5 friends (existing or new). However, they must have played the game (Battle Royale matches) for less than two hours in the last 30 days.
After registering the ‘referees’, you simply need to play games with them and earn free cosmetic rewards. This time around, the free rewards will be the Xander outfit and other cosmetics related to him such as a banner and spray.

For now, leakers haven’t disclosed the specific challenges. Back in October 2021, Epic Games released Rainbow Racer as a free reward for the Refer-a-Friend program but the final requirement turned out to be very challenging. So much so that players gave up on unlocking the free skin.

UPDATE: The Refer-a-Friend challenges have been leaked:

It’s evident that unlocking free rewards in Fortnite has been quite a slow process recently. While playing 100 Fall Guys rounds for Famous Mancake was manageable for some players, The Nindo challenges for a free wrap and glider caused frustration in the free-to-play community.
