How to get The Winged Cavalry Back Bling for free in Fortnite

The Winged Cavalry Back Bling is the latest cosmetic item that has been added to Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 3. Likely taking inspiration from the wings that adorned Polish Hussars, the Winged Cavalry Back Bling looks very similar in design. However, unlike its contemporary from the real world that was created using wooden wing-shaped frames and eagle feathers, this version is seemingly made out of metal or metallic material.

With the ability to tame and ride Raptors into battle this season, having the Winged Cavalry Back Bling in the Locker is a good idea. Thankfully, those interested in obtaining it will be able to do so for free. While it may take some time to complete the task needed to earn this freebie, there's no need to rush.

3) Eliminate 50 opponents in the Custom Map

To earn the Winged Cavalry Back Bling, you will have to eliminate a total of 50 opponents in this Creative Map.

According to the rules provided on the website, eliminations of characters and NPCs will not count towards progress. That being said, the event will be open to all players until June 22, 4:00 AM Eastern Time.

What happens if I run out of time to complete this Community Battles challenge?

If you are unable to score 50 eliminations by June 22, 4:00 AM Eastern Time, you will not be awarded The Winged Cavalry Back Bling. Thankfully, there's no need to panic. According to the official statement on Epic Games' website, the Winged Cavalry Back Bling will be available for purchase from the Item Shop later.

Having said that, given that the cost of Back Blings starts from 500 V-Bucks, earning it for free is a far better option. As mentioned, while 50 eliminations is indeed a huge ask, there's plenty of time to get it done.

Since the Creative Map in question has XP enabled, it's a good way to level up the Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 3 Battle Pass as well — a true win-win situation for players.
