Our guide explains how to unlock the First Order Stormtrooper skin in Fortnite for free. Follow the steps, and the skin will be added to your account the next time you log in!
How to unlock the free Stormtrooper skin in Fortnite?
To unlock the new free skin in Fortnite, all you need to do is connect your MyDisney and Epic Games accounts. This process is simple and requires you to log into both of these accounts, then link them. Here are all the steps you need to take:
- Log into your MyDisney account or create an account if you don’t have one
- Log into your Epic Games account
- Go to Epic Account Settings
- Choose Apps & Accounts from the menu
- Add your MyDisney account
As soon as you finish the last step, you will receive the free First Order Stormtrooper skin in your Fortnite account. Furthermore, you will be able to use your MyDisney account to log into Fortnite.
The Stormtrooper skin will be available until August 31 at 12 AM Eastern Time, giving you more than enough time to obtain it. Epic Games also clarified that the cosmetic item may be sold in the shop at a later date.
While the process of obtaining the free Stormtrooper skin in Fortnite is simple, it is not available everywhere. Linking MyDisney and Epic Games accounts is not available in all areas, which is unfortunate. However, the good news is that you can still get plenty of other free skins in Fortnite, so make sure to do it before they expire!
