How to get free Fortnite skins in July 2024

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 3, as of July 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.

Are there any free skins in Fortnite? (July 2024)

There are two free skins in Fortnite for players to redeem. These include the Explorer Emilie and  Trailblazer Tai outfits. They can all be claimed completely free in Chapter 5 Season 3.

Explorer Emilie and Trailblazer Tai joined forces along with LEGO Fortnite at the start of Chapter 5.

You can get the Explorer Emilie skin by signing up for LEGO Insiders and then linking it to your Epic account, which you use for Fortnite. Trailblazer Tai can alternatively be obtained for free just by completing four easy quests in LEGO Fortnite.

Despite Lina Scorch being a free skin in Fortnite during Chapter 5 Season 2 as part of the Blazin’ Wheels Pack, this PlayStation collab has now been replaced. The Blazin’ Wheels Gear Pack has taken its place in Season 3, which doesn’t include a free skin and instead features four free alternative cosmetic rewards.

We’ll keep this page updated if any new skins are made available, so be sure to check back soon.

Even if you aren’t searching for free cosmetics, it’s still nice to know what’s in rotation. Here’s a look at what’s up for grabs in July.

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
  • Every now and then, Epic Games will host themed tournaments for crossover characters, like Beast Boy or The Flash, alongside ICON Series skins for streamers like Chica, where the highest-ranking players can earn the skin for free before it goes on sale in the shop.

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.
