How to link Twitch and Fortnite accounts

It is worth noting that players must link their Twitch and Epic Games accounts to claim the free Octo weapon wrap. They must also do so before watching the Drop Enabled Twitch streams.

The procedure to link the accounts is as follows:

1. Visit the Epic Games' Connected Accounts page while signed in.
2. Click the connect button below Twitch
3. Click the 'Link your Account' option
4. Log in using the Twitch account credentials (if players are already logged in to their Twitch accounts, they don't need to complete this step)
5. Click Authorize

Luckily, the Octo weapon wrap is available to anyone with a Twitch account and not just streamers. It is a simple, yet great way for players to access free skins and rewards.

Fortnite is a free-to-play game that primarily gets its revenue from the sale of cosmetic items via V-Bucks. Hence, such offers to get free skins are always a delight for players around the world.

Chapter 2 Season 8 is right around the corner, and it will arrive with some highly-anticipated skins. Just to name a few, these include Naruto and Lady Gaga.
