How to get free Balenciaga Sprays in Fortnite
There are also some free Balenciaga Sprays you can unlock as part of their collaboration with Fortnite.
The Shady Doggo character will offer you two Quests, and you’ll get the free Sprays for completing them. These Quests are now live and will last until September 28.
To unlock the Fashion Doggo Spray and Knight Looks Spray, you’ll need to:
- Emote in front of Shady Doggo graffiti at Retail Row, Believer Beach, or Steamy Stacks (1)
- Collect Triple S sneakers in the Strange Times Featured Hub (40)
Once you’ve completed these two challenges, the Balenciaga Sprays will be in your inventory.
How to emote in front of Shady Doggo graffiti
- Load into Fortnite Battle Royale
- Land in or outside Retail Row
- Head to the wall at the back of the Noms Store
- Emote in front of the Shady Doggo spraypaint
As indicated by the challenge, you need to find Shady Doggo graffiti in either Retail Row, Believer Beach, or Steamy Stacks. Once you find it, you just need to do an emote and the challenge will be complete.
We recommend heading the back of the Noms store in Retail Row to quickly get this challenge done. You’ll see three Shady Doggos spraypainted on the wall, so simply dance in front of it, the Quest will be complete and you’ll get the Fashion Doggo Spray.
How to collect Triple S Sneakers
- Load into Fortnite Creative
- Search around the Strange Times Featured Hub for sneakers
- Approach 40 of them
- If you’re struggling, listen out for the hum they emit
Triple S sneakers can be found all over the Strange Times Featured Hub. Simply load into Creative, and you’ll find sneakers all over the area. You don’t need to interact with them, just step near and you’ll collect them.
There are tons of sneakers around so you won’t have any trouble completing this challenge. But if you only have a few left and you’re struggling, listen out for the humming sound that they emit.
Collect 40 sneakers and the Knight Looks Spray will be yours.
