Fortnite gamers can get their hands on some brand new content thanks to a Valentine's Day update.

In a bid to get everyone to use two-factor authentication, Epic Games has made the Heartspan glider available for free.

But you'll have to be quick to grab it, as it is only available until 7pm on Saturday, February 16 (ET), or midnight on Sunday, and there is a catch - you can't keep it.

You'll need to enable the The Two-Factor Authentication feature, otherwise known as 2FA, in your Epic account to get hold of the reward from the in-game store.

The 2FA gives gamers a second layer of security with their account and makes it more difficult to access your account without permission.

The glider itself continues with the Share the Love event theme as it features angelic wings, a large heart and flowing ribbons.

And it is only available from a 2FA-enabled friend who can gift the glider to you, and you can only gift it to a friend.

So all you need to do is head over to the Item Shop and click on the glider. You will then be directed to a screen to enable 2FA and then choose a friend to give it to.

And hopefully, your friend will follow suit.

Epic wrote on Twitter: "Continue to #SharetheLove by gifting a FREE Heartspan Glider to a friend!

"We've extended this offer another 24 hours, ending Saturday, February 16 at 7 PM ET."

How to enable 2FA

To enable 2FA, go to your account settings page, click on the password and security tab, view security settings and scroll to the bottom of the page for the 2FA section.

Once you've opted in, you will be asked to enter the code from your preferred two-factor authentication method - either the app or an email address.

You will then be signed into your account. The system will prompt you to enter the passcode again if it is the first time you sign in after enabling it; if you use a new device; if it’s been over 30 days since you last signed in; or if you’ve cleared your browser cookies recently.
