Fortnite players have received several free skins over the years. Free cosmetics are frequently distributed, but that's one thing. Free skins, which can range from 800 to 2,000 V-Bucks, are a completely different story. It's unusual for Epic Games to give something away for free that could make them a solid profit.

There have been several excellent examples of this over the 22 seasons of the game thus far. Players are expected to get the Chrome Punk skin for free if they level up 50 times during Fortnitemares, which is the most recent example. Here are a few other examples of great skins that were free.


7 Fortnite skins that were given to players for free

7) Galaxy Skin

The Galaxy skin wasn't entirely free because it required players to have an Android device at the time it was given away. In theory, if players purchased a device to obtain the skin, it could have cost up to $900. This skin was free for those who already had one, and it's one of the most popular free skins in the game.


6) Wooly Warrior

WinterFest is an excellent opportunity to obtain free Fortnite skins. Every event usually has at least a couple given away. Wooly Warrior was given away in 2019. It's not the best skin in the game, but it's a festive Christmas skin that can be worn during the holiday season.


5) Tart Tycoon

Tart Tycoon was unlockable for free in the #FreeFortniteCup event in 2020. This skin could be unlocked by scoring 10 points in the Chapter 2 Season 3 event. Unfortunately, it was the last cosmetic released for the iOS version of the game that is now banned.


4) Chrome Punk

Despite the fact that it has only recently been released, Chrome Punk is one of the best free Fortnite skins that players have received. It fits in perfectly with the season's theme and will live on as a memory of Chapter 3, Season 4. It's a bit difficult to obtain because it necessitates a lot of levelling up in a short period of time, but it's well worth the effort.


3) Krisabelle

During WinterFest 2021, Krisabelle was available as a gift. It quickly became one of the most popular skins of the time, with many players attempting to obtain it as soon as possible. WinterFest frequently has good skins available, but Krisabelle is without a doubt one of the best. Even today, it is widely used and will most likely increase in popularity during the holiday season.


2) Lt. Evergreen

Lt. Evergreen was a contentious skin due to its ability to help Fortnite players blend into the green surroundings. As a result, a large number of players enjoyed it. It's not often that a skin has an unintended advantage, but when they do, gamers love to take advantage of them. Lt. Evergreen, who debuted at WinterFest 2019, quickly became a fan favourite and continues to be so to this day.


1) Polar Peely

Ultimately, the best free Fortnite skin to date also comes from WinterFest. Last year's event featured two excellent free skins in Krisabelle and Polar Peely. The Peely variant is sometimes more popular than its original, especially in winter.

Polar Peely was the final gift given during the event, and it makes sense because Epic Games saved the best for last. The only downside is that it's completely unavailable now, so if anyone missed out, they're never going to get the chance again.
