How to get the Shahrukh spray in Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 2

Epic Games is giving out the Shahrukh spray to all players who participated in the old Community Battle event in Fortnite. The spray was added to the game data in Chapter 4 Season 2, and eligible players should receive it within the next 24 hours.

Although the spray may seem unremarkable, it has an interesting backstory. Many players participated in the Community Battle, hoping to get the Gigachad spray. However, due to the toxic nature of the meme, Epic Games decided not to include it and instead released the Shahrukh spray.

This article will explain everything you need to know about the spray and its history. If you've received the spray and you're not sure why it happened, we'll explain everything you need to know.

In early January, Epic Games organized a Fortnite Community Battle, allowing Fortnite players to win a custom spray. Players were able to support one of the many creators in the custom Creative game and earn a free cosmetic item for their efforts.

The free cosmetic item was a custom spray that each creator designed. In the end, Shahrukh_1412 on TikTok ended up winning the event, which is why Epic Games released his custom spray to the video game.

If you have participated in the event and completed at least one challenge, you will soon receive the Shahrukh spray in Fortnite. If not, then you may get a chance to obtain the spray if it ever comes out in the Item Shop.

HeyStan, one of the creators who participated in the Fortnite Community Battle, claimed that he would choose the Gigachad spray if he won. However, he did not end up winning the contest.

Even if he did, the meme spray wouldn't have been released due to it being associated with toxicity. According to a post on HeyStan's Twitter account:

"Epic HQ denied the concept of Gigachad Jones. Not because of copyright, but because of issues with certain communities which abuse the meme and associate it with toxicity."

The creator is currently looking for new ideas regarding the design of his spray. Considering that Epic Games releases Community Battles every once in a while, he may get an opportunity to have his own spray in the game very soon.

In the meantime, the Shahrukh spray will be granted to all eligible players. If you are an eligible player, the spray will be automatically added to your locker.
