All Free Skins You Can Unlock In Fortnite2 min read
The Battle Royale by Epic Games is popular for its complicated build-fights and countless collaborations. However, skins in this game can be pretty pricey, especially when buying complete bundles, which can cost thousands of VBucks.
To make up for this, Fortnite also gives away some free skins every now and then. This article will go over the currently available free skins and how you can claim them!
Free skins in Fortnite (January 2025)
For January 2025, there are, at the moment, seven free skins available for players to avail as rewards. These include Explorer Emilie, Trailblazer Tai, Felina, Chord Kahele, Mr. Dappermint, Yulejacket, and Santa Dogg.
- Players can get Explorer Emilie skin as a reward by signing up for LEGO Insiders and linking it to their Epic account, which they can use for Fortnite.
- Trailblazer Tai can be claimed for free by completing four easy quests in LEGO Fortnite.Â
- To get their hands on Felina’s Ranked Skin and FeliSkin Claw Pickaxe, they must earn 50 Account Levels and 25 Account Levels for the latter.Â
- Chord Kahele dominates the reward for finishing Mobile quests, replacing the Katalina skin, initially available until December 1, 2024.
- Mr. Dappermint’s LEGO skin has joined the roster, complementing Explorer Emilie, and players can get both by linking their LEGO accounts.
2024’s annual Winterfest event also returned with festive cheer along with Yulejacket and Santa Dogg skins, both accessible for free by unwrapping daily presents in Fortnite’s Christmas cabin, available until January 7, 2025.
