Good news for Fortnite players: several skins can currently be obtained for free in February 2026. Even though the majority of the game’s more than 2,000 skins require V-Bucks, Epic Games continues to regularly offer alternatives without direct payment.
These free rewards are, however, often linked to specific conditions: quests to complete, accounts to link, external purchases or subscriptions. Some offers are temporary, others remain available until a specific date.
Free skins currently available on Fortnite
In February 2026, several skins can be unlocked without direct purchase in V-Bucks. Kingsley can be obtained by claiming the PlayStation Plus Crowned Fighter Pack. This offer is valid until December 16, 2025. Felinos is unlocked by completing three dedicated ranked quests. This opportunity remains available until June 4, 2026. Ghost Monks is accessible via the redemption of a Fortnite gift card, with availability announced until December 31, 2026.
Grace Ashcroft is available to players purchasing Resident Evil Requiem on the Epic Games Store. No deadline has been communicated for this offer. Clive requires purchasing a Backbone Pro, logging in via the dedicated app, and completing a specific quest. Shinji becomes available after linking Epic and PlayStation Plus accounts. Explorer Émilie and Monsieur Dappermint request a link between Epic and LEGO accounts. Trailblazer Tai can be unlocked by completing related quests in LEGO Fortnite.
Very different methods of obtaining
Not all free skins are based on the same logic. Some simply require linking accounts, a quick procedure via Epic Games settings. Others require completing specific in-game challenges, which involves an investment of time. Some offers are also linked to third-party products or services, such as subscriptions or compatible hardware. It is therefore important to carefully check the conditions before starting the unblocking process.
Deadlines to watch out for
Several skins display an expiration date. Kingsley is no longer available after December 16, 2025. Felinos remains accessible until June 4, 2026. Ghost Monks disappears after December 31, 2026. For other skins like Grace Ashcroft or Clive, no official deadline has been confirmed. Offers related to events or partnerships may be modified at any time by Epic Games.
