Question Fortnite Settings Help
Hi there, my son said he accidentally pressed some button and it gave his favorite skin away. He is so upset.
Is there a way to block or disable something in the settings so he can’t accidentally give things away (he bought the skin with vbucks)?
I don’t want him to be able to give anything away, accidentally or intentionally.

Maybe he just archived it by accident? 🤔

Seems most likely. Here are some instructions OP can use to check: https://www.epicgames.com/help/en-US/c-Category_Fortnite/c-Fortnite_Gameplay/what-is-the-archive-feature-in-fortnite-and-how-does-it-work-a000085292

It’s not possible to “give a skin away” at all. It is also not possible to delete or get rid of any of the skins you own. I am 100% sure. The only thing he could have done is archived it (see above comment) or refunded the purchase (in which case he would have gotten the vbucks back).

Thank you so much. He was confused and we found it in archives. Appreciate the help

I think your son is confused. You can’t give away any skin or item that you already have.
There is a way to buy something for another player, but I’d be surprised if he could do that accidentally. It takes multiple buttons to choose who to buy it for and send it off.
