How to get free Fortnite skins in April 2024
Epic GamesAre you looking for free Fortnite skins? We’ve got you covered! Here are all the Outfit freebies, and a few free cosmetics, you can claim without spending your V-Bucks or hard-earned cash in Chapter 5 Season 2 as of April 2024.
Epic Games’ hit battle royale Fortnite is known for its high-profile crossover skins as much as its fast-paced gunfights, but they can be quite expensive to buy — especially when it’s a well-known character like Wonder Woman or Ahsoka Tano from Star Wars.
So naturally, any chance to get free skins is welcome in the world of Fortnite. But while free cosmetics like Gliders and Back Blings are actually fairly common, free skins are incredibly rare, so you’ll need to keep an eye out if you want to get one.
Below, you’ll find all the information you need on any free skins that are currently available to claim in Fortnite, as well as details on previous free skins that have now expired.

How to get free skins in Fortnite
There are a few different methods for getting free skins in Fortnite, but it’ll require you to put in some effort:
- Completing in-game events
- Completing event-specific challenges will earn you free skins and cosmetics, such as opening a certain amount of presents during Winterfest. The Save the World mode also provides opportunities to earn free rewards, which may include a skin, V-Bucks, or other Fortnite-related items.
- Competing in tournaments
The last option is via codes for free skins. However, it’s incredibly rare to get codes for free skins in Fortnite, and this usually only happens with giveaways on social media. Be wary of searching for free codes online, as there are a lot of potential scams out there.
