Fortnite has a large inventory of skins to choose from. They range from superhero characters, famous personalities, characters from TV shows, and so on. The list is very big and it will probably take us days if we start listing every one of them. But more than often if you want to get a hold of a good skin, you’ll probably need to use V-Bucks to get your hands on it which means you’ll need to spend real money. Most people don’t like to spend money on games because of various reasons. That being said, if you are one of them and want to get good skins for free in Fortnite, there are options to choose from for you too. So in this guide, we are going to talk about how you can get free skins in Fortnite.

How to get Free Skins in Fortnite and how often are they released

There are thousands of paid skins to choose from but if you want to get your hands on a free skin, the number shrinks down by a lot comparatively. You need to follow certain methods within a certain timeframe as a particular free skin is not available to be claimed for a long time.

You can simply buy paid skins using V-Bucks, but getting your hands on free skins might require some extra work. Here are all the methods that you can follow to get your hands on free skins in Fortnite.

1. Event Rewards

One of the best ways you can acquire free skins in Fortnite is by taking part in events hosted by Fortnite. During these events, Epic Games gives away certain tasks for you to complete in the game, and in return, you can earn a free skin of the franchise they are collaborating with for the event.

Not every event has tasks that you can complete to gain free skins. But it is a great way to unlock them if the opportunity is there. All you need to do is look at the Fortnite lobby for tasks like these. The recent collab with Star Wars was one such event where you could get free skins in the game by completing certain tasks and challenges.

2. Tournament Cup

Fortnite is known to host in-game cup events where you can win free skins as rewards if you can rank highly amongst players taking part in the event along with you. The frequency of these Tournament Cups was higher in the past in Fortnite as the number of times they host it nowadays has significantly decreased. But you can still keep your eye on the latest updates and be the first to take part in such an event whenever it comes back.

3. Subscription of a service

This method doesn’t necessarily need you to spend money on Fortnite specifically. If you have a preexisting subscription to any service such as PlayStation Plus or Prime Gaming, then you can acquire some free exclusive skins in Fortnite. All you need to do is redeem these free skins and you’ll be able to use them in the game. One of the recent instances of using this method was to get the Chilling Mystery Pack for free which was for PlayStation Plus users exclusively.

Expired list of Fortnite Free Skins

The period to get these skins has expired for now but you might be able to get them in the future again whenever they are rereleased for acquiring for free in the game.
