Fortnite is collaborating with popular Canadian streamer and YouTuber Typical Gamer, and this partnership goes beyond just selling his in-game skin. It also offers a secret mission that allows players to get a brand new retro backpack completely for free. This short guide will walk you through the steps to obtain it.
It appears this mission will only be available until Friday, June 5, 2026. We recommend completing it as soon as possible before the season ends.
The objective of this secret mission is to Use an emote in Typical Gamer’s bunker. To find this location, you’ll need to head to the spot marked with a red circle on the map below, northeast of Grim Gables.
Descend via the rope and break down this wall to reveal a secret room filled with pianos.
This is Typical Gamer’s secret bunker. If you try to use an emote here, you’ll find that only one is available: “In the Zone”.
Performing this emote will complete the secret Fortnite mission, Use an emote in Typical Gamer’s bunker, and you’ll receive a notification that you’ve obtained the new retro backpack for free.
The name of this cosmetic item is “Gamer Alert”, and you can equip it as soon as you finish the current match.
We hope this quick guide has been helpful. It’s always great to snag new free items, especially now that V-Bucks are so expensive.
Fortnite is a free-to-play game with in-game purchases available for PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, iOS and Android mobile devices, and PC via the Epic Games Store.
