Cosmetics are a big part of Fortnite's appeal, injecting your personality into every loadout. From unique Back Bling and striking Pickaxes to dabbing on the enemy with a funny Spray, these items allow players to stand out from the crowd. Unfortunately, though, looking good can come at a price.
We've all been there, scrolling through the Item Shop, trying to resist the urge to splurge on new skins or other cosmetic items. However, what if we told you there were ways to get free cosmetic items and skins without parting from a single V-Buck?
Free Fortnite cosmetics are out there waiting to be claimed. You only need to know where to look! This guide will help you collect the best loot without spending a penny. Now, you can flex your style points and stay on a budget — it's a win-win!
Aside from Fortnite free skins that you can claim by completing quests and other in-game challenges, there are additional free rewards you can add to your Fortnite Locker, including free Pickaxes, Back Bling, Sprays, Loading Screens, and more.
Some current cosmetics, like Katalina's Kit Bag, are designed to go with their respective free skin, obtained by earning 100K XP by completing Fortnite Mobile quests playing on an iOS or Android device.
Epic Games tends to rotate these free cosmetics every month or so. Ensure you regularly check the tables below to see what's currently available. These are extremely limited, so you'd better get grinding!
We have divided the free cosmetics into sections, according to which Fortnite mode or game you'll need to play in order to claim these goodies.
DISCLAIMER: While we strive to keep this list current, some of the free Fortnite skins and cosmetics mentioned may have expired without our knowledge. Rivalry is not responsible for any expired free skins or items no longer available, but we'll do our best to update the list as often as possible.
Here are all the free cosmetics and free Fortnite skins obtainable through playing the regular Fortnite Battle Royale game mode and completing the specific requirements. GL HF!
