Fortnite: The best free skins at a glance

Would you like to use skins in Fortnite and best of all for free? In our practical tip, we show you where to get skins for the heroes and your items for the popular Battle Royale shooter. But first of all: Unfortunately, there are no completely free skins for the characters in the free-to-play game.

Free skins at Fortnite for the items

In Fortnite's PvP mode, gaming fun is completely free - unless you want to invest some money in skins and emotes. These prettily look up but do not improve your game values. There are some completely free skins you can get:

• If you play Fortnite Battle Royale, you will automatically have the Free Pass.
• With level up, you get rewards every now and then - including skins for your items.
• In Season 4 you can unlock the backpack skin "standard version" and the pickaxe skin "Kleblutscher" with levels 10 and 46.
• In addition, there are also some emotes and icons that you can get with increasing level.
• You can see the possible rewards from the Free Pass by clicking "Battle Pass" at the top of Fortnite. The silver fields show the rewards from the Free Pass.

Free skin for Twitch Prime customers

Are you an Amazon Prime customer? Then you automatically get Twitch Prime and can unlock a Fortnite package including character skin, pickaxe skin, backpack skin and a new dance free of charge via the popular streaming platform.

1. Register on Twitch or log in with your access data.
2. Open the settings and link your Amazon Prime Account with your Twitch account in the "Connections" tab.
3. Then click the Prime Loot icon at the top and look for the Fortnite Pack.
4. Then follow the instructions from Twitch and Epic Games to unlock the skins.

The Battle Pass: Skins almost free

To buy the Battle Pass, you have to purchase 1, 000 V-Bucks for 9.99 euros. In the Battle Pass, you not only play different skins, but also gradually get V-Bucks. If you play enough during one season, you can buy the Battle Pass of the next season from the earned V-Bucks without investing any more money. So you get a lot of skins every season almost free in the free-to-play game. In the Battle Pass, too, you can unlock the different skins by leveling up - the pass is only worthwhile if you also want to invest some time in Fortnite!
