Fortnite has long been renowned for its vast array of skins and cosmetic items introduced through various updates, events, and collaborations, keeping the game exciting. But what could be more enticing than FREE skins, cosmetics, and rewards that anyone can obtain by completing just a few simple tasks?

This month, Epic Games offers numerous skins and cosmetics that might interest someone—all without spending real money or using in-game currency (V-Bucks). If you're looking to expand your wardrobe with new characters or outfits, this article will inform you about how to unlock all Fortnite skins for free.

All Free Fortnite Skins and How to Get Them (May 2025)

Epic Games offers six free skins in Fortnite, five of which are available to all players, while one is exclusive to PlayStation owners. Below is the complete list of skins.

How to Unlock Free Fortnite Skins May 2025

First Order Stormtrooper

To get the first free skin, First Order Stormtrooper, you need a MyDisney account (create one if you don't have it), and no subscription is required. All you need to do is:

• Go to the "Apps and Accounts" section in Epic Games settings.
• Click the "Connect" button.
• Link the MyDisney account to Epic Games.

The First Order Stormtrooper cosmetic item will automatically appear in your skin collection in the game, in the Locker section, where you can equip it.

Vanguard Zadie

The next skin, Vanguard Zadie, is available until June 7, 2025. It can be unlocked by earning 50 levels in Fortnite. This can be achieved by completing various quests and challenges.

Explorer Emilie

Another skin, as well as its LEGO version, can be obtained by linking your Epic Games and LEGO accounts. Once you do this, the skins will appear in your gallery.

Mr. Dappermint

The Explorer Emilie skin can also be unlocked in a similar manner. So, by fulfilling the condition for one skin, you automatically receive the other. It's quite simple and straightforward.

Trailblazer Tai

Unlocking the Trailblazer Tai skin in Fortnite will be a bit more challenging, as it requires completing several quests. First, accept the True Explorers Quest Pack in the in-game store. Then, complete the tasks in LEGO Fortnite mode.

1) Invite an NPC to live in your village.

2) Create a short sword.

3) Build a Spinning Wheel.

4) Deal damage to enemy creatures using a Recurve Crossbow.

Shinji

Unlike the previous cosmetic items, the Shinji skin is available only to PlayStation owners with a PS Plus subscription—within the free pack in the PlayStation Store.

In addition to the skin itself, this pack includes the Virtual Servpack back bling and the Crimson Codeblade pickaxe. It seems this offer does not have a specific end date, so it will likely be available even after May.

So that is all how to get Fortnite skins without paying this month. But i you need more cosmetics, Epic Games have something more to offer.

Other Free Cosmetic Items and Rewards

Not all rewards are skins. The game also offers a range of other interesting free rewards—both until a certain date and possibly after May ends.

Here is a list of available items and rewards:

Legit ways to get Fortnite skins free

1. Account Linking

Partner services—LEGO, Disney, and others—often provide cosmetics for simple account linking. No purchase is necessary.

2. Timed Events and Quests

Seasonal events regularly include exclusive tasks with free skins or items. Log into the game during updates and check the Quests tab.

3. Tournaments

Experienced players can earn exclusive skins for high placements in tournaments. Check the Compete tab in the game.

4. Battle Pass

Even the free branch of the Battle Pass offers rewards. If you purchase the pass at least once, you can accumulate enough V-Bucks for the next season.

5. Fortnite Crew

Of course, this is a paid subscription ($11.99/month), but it's worth it: it includes a monthly skin, Battle Pass, and 1000 V-Bucks. If you regularly buy the pass anyway, Crew is a more advantageous option.

6. Giveaways and Promotions

Follow official Fortnite social media, as well as verified streamers. Some of them hold legitimate skin giveaways. Always verify the source for authenticity before participating.

Beware of Scammers!

Websites promising free skins or V-Bucks in exchange for your logins, completing "surveys," or authorizing through suspicious platforms are 100% scams.

Epic Games never distributes rewards in this manner.

Trust only official channels—game events, battle passes, and partner programs with verified reputations.
