To unlock the base skins, you’re going to have to purchase and make your way through the Premium Reward Track of the Fortnite Festival Pass. This will set you back 1,800 V-Bucks, but gives you the chance to unlock all of these skins as well as a variety of other cool rewards like Lars’ TAMA drum kit and Kirk’s Les Paul guitar.
As well as these skins, there are four alternate ‘Puppet Master’ skins that will be available in the Item Shop throughout the entirety of Season 4. These skins feature the same band members, but this time feature yellow, glowing eyes and a growing skull on each of their chests. These are also included as part of the Metallica Bundle, alongside their LEGO skin variants, four types of Back Bling, the Lightning Dropper Contrail and Eighteen Wrap.
Epic Games have also confirmed that the items on both the Premium and Free Reward Tracks will not be exclusive to the Pass, meaning you’ll have the chance to purchase the skins from the Item Shop in the future if you miss them this time around.
