How to get Optimus Prime skin in Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 3

The Optimus Prime skin appears on Page 14 of the Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 3 Battle Pass.

In order to gain access to this skin, players must first purchase the Battle Pass for 950 V-Bucks – unless you’re subscribed to Fortnite Crew, in which case you’ll automatically get the new Battle Pass included.

Once you’ve obtained the Battle Pass, you’ll need to reach Level 94 and spend 9 Battle Stars on the Optimus Prime skin. This could take a while, so check out our guide to leveling up fast to help you out.

Alternatively, you can gain 500 Battle Stars by reaching Level 100 in the game, at which point the Optimus Prime skin and all other Battle Pass cosmetics will be unlocked for good.

As you advance through the Battle Pass, you will be able to unlock different styles for the Optimus Prime skin. The first style is the character’s unaltered design, while the “Battle Tested” variant has a rougher, more battle-worn appearance due to damage.

Players can now head over to the game and gain access to the Battle Pass. Several new quests are live as well that will help you level up faster and gain Battle Stars to unlock your desired Battle Pass cosmetics.

That’s everything you need to know about unlocking Optimus Prime in Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 3.
