Fortnite: Battle Royale (PC, PS4, iOS, Android, Switch & Xbox One) offers you a unique skin on Samsung’s expensive Galaxy Note 9 and Galaxy Tab S4: the Galaxy Skin. However, some players have creatively found a way to access the skin without a high-end smartphone.
The Galaxy Skin in Fortnite is likely one of the most sought-after outfits in the game. Only those who install the game on an Android smartphone of the Galaxy Note 9 or Galaxy Tab S4 brand and play three matches will receive the skin.
Demo Devices as a Source
This is how clever players want to get the Galaxy Skin for free: However, not everyone wants to buy Samsung’s new flagship smartphone – it costs about 1,000 euros – so savvy players have found a way to obtain the skin without spending a cent.
They simply go into an electronics store, install Fortnite on the demo devices of the type Galaxy Note 9 and play the mandatory three rounds. A few hours later, they had unlocked their skin on their account without paying a cent.
Dangerous download: According to reports on Reddit, some players actually got away with it. It requires quite a bit of skill: after all, downloading several gigabytes takes a considerable amount of time, and then you still have to play through three games.
The risk is high. Because you can be thrown out by an employee during that time. Then the sensitive login data of the Epic account is accessible to anyone on a public demo device.
Samsung Imposes a Block, Players Find Ways Around It
This is how Samsung wants to prevent the skin from being obtained for free: Naturally, it is not in Samsung’s interest for people to easily acquire their 1,000-euro skin, so demo devices are now equipped with a block. You cannot download games.
This is how clever players still manage: However, some players have already circumvented this by simply creating a hotspot with their private phone and bypassing the store’s Wi-Fi block. This way, they seem to have been able to download and play the game anyway.
For some, the block appeared to be embedded directly in the device rather than via the Wi-Fi. So far, no solution has been found for that.
Please do not steal free codes!
Honest customers are angry! The action with the obtained Samsung skins may seem funny to many, but unfortunately, sometimes it is the honest customers who are the victims.
