Here are all the Outfit freebies, and a few free cosmetic rewards, you can claim without spending your V-Bucks or hard-earned cash in Chapter 5 Season 4, as of September 2024.
Epic Games’ hit battle royale Fortnite is known for its high-profile crossover skins as much as its fast-paced gunfights, but they can be quite expensive to buy especially when it’s a well-known character like Wonder Woman or Doctor Doom.
So naturally, any chance to get free skins is welcome in the world of Fortnite but they’re incredibly rare compared to other cosmetics like Gliders and Back Blings.
We’ve got you covered though, with all the information you need about free skins in Fortnite below, including every reward you can currently claim, and a full list of expired skins.
Updated on September 16, 2024. No new skins were found.

There are four free skins in Fortnite for players to redeem as rewards. These include the Katalina, Andromeda, Explorer Emilie and Trailblazer Tai outfits. They can all be claimed completely free in Chapter 5 Season 4.

Explorer Emilie and Trailblazer Tai joined forces along with LEGO Fortnite at the start of Chapter 5.
You can get the Explorer Emilie skin as a reward by signing up for LEGO Insiders and then linking it to your Epic account, which you use for Fortnite. Trailblazer Tai can alternatively be obtained for free just by completing four easy quests in LEGO Fortnite.
Epic has made two more free skins available to celebrate the Battle Royale’s finally returning to iOS devices in the European Union.
You can earn the brand-new Katalina skin and cosmetic bundle as rewards by completing quests on your mobile device. To get the Starborn Sorina skin and the Space-Touched Serenity set, you must have previously played Fortnite on a Samsung device and have re-downloaded the app.

How to get free skins in Fortnite
There are a few different methods for getting free skins in Fortnite, but it’ll require you to put in some effort:
- Completing in-game events
- Completing event-specific challenges will earn you free skins and cosmetics, such as opening a certain amount of presents during Winterfest. The Save the World mode also provides opportunities to earn free rewards, which may include a skin, V-Bucks, or other Fortnite-related items.
- Competing in tournaments
The last option is via codes for free skins. However, it’s incredibly rare to get codes for free skins in Fortnite, and this usually only happens with giveaways on social media. Be wary of searching for free codes online, as there are a lot of potential scams out there.
