Elite Zadie is one of the most anticipated Fortnite skins. It was added with the v34.30 update, and ever since then, players have been eagerly waiting for it. Fortunately, the wait will end soon. The best part? You will be able to unlock the new Zadie skin for free!
In this guide, we will explain how to get the popular Elite Zadie skin. It will be available for a limited time, so make sure not to miss the opportunity.
When will the Elite Zadie skin come to Fortnite?
When it was first leaked, it was believed that Elite Zadie would come to the Item Shop. It was leaked at the same time as the Vanguard Zadie skin, which is also free. However, it appears that Epic Games has a different plan for the Elite version of the character. Instead of releasing the skin to the shop, the game developer will award it to the top players in the upcoming cup.
To unlock Elite Zadie skin for free, you will need to be among the top performers in the Fortnite Reload cup in late April. The Fortnite cup will be active on Saturday, April 26, and April 27, giving you a chance to get the new skin. The cup will be played with the Battle Royale (build) rules in the Duos playlist and will take place before the FNCS Finals.
For now, it’s unknown if Elite Zadie will come to the Item Shop. If this happens, we expect the release date to be in late April or early May. The price hasn’t been revealed yet either, although it likely won’t cost under 1,200 V-Bucks.
