The original Black Widow skin, which is among the rarest outfits in Fortnite, has been reintroduced to the game. By carrying out a few straightforward steps, players can obtain the highly coveted cosmetic skin that debuted in 2019. Here’s a guide to help you do that with ease.

Throughout its existence, Fortnite has engaged in partnerships with prominent film and television franchises to incorporate their iconic on-screen characters as in-game cosmetics. Disney and Epic Games have collaborated frequently, whether it be on a Marvel or Star Wars character.

However, the most fruitful collaboration to date has been with Marvel characters, nearly every single one of whom has been featured in Fortnite as a cosmetic outfit. Some of these were relatively simple to obtain and have since appeared on several occasions in the Item Shop, whereas others are considered rare because they were never seen again.

In contrast, the reintroduction of Chapter 1 items into Fortnite Season OG also resulted in the return of one of the rarest item shop skins – the original Black Widow outfit which debuted in the shop on April 25, 2019 and has not been seen since the Avengers: Endgame collaboration.

Here are some straightforward steps on how to acquire this rare cosmetic outfit in Fortnite. However, before you do so, it’d be wise for you to stack up on some V-Bucks.

The original Black Widow outfit has returned to the Fortnite Item Shop after 1,585 days after it was last seen on May 6, 2019. The outfit comes with an additional selectable style and the Widow’s Pack back bling included, all for 1,500 V-Bucks.

Here’s how you can purchase the skin:

  1. Launch Fortnite on a supported device.

  3. Scroll down to find Marvel skins tab in the Item Shop.
  4. Click on Black Widow Outfit.
  5. Hold the yellow Purchase button.
