The free Fortnite skin is only available during the Most Wanted event. The event began on Tuesday, February 14, with the release of the v23.40 update. It will end on February 28, giving players two weeks to unlock the skin.

The skin is part of a small Battle Pass-like progress system. Instead of Battle Stars, the system uses a new currency called Infamy for leveling. The only way to get Infamy is by completing exclusive quests released during the event.

On average, each quest grants around 1,000 Infamy, meaning you must complete nearly 50 quests to unlock the Gold Blooded Ace skin for free. Fortunately, you can unlock it early without having to complete any challenges. Here is how:


1) Open the Most Wanted event tab

To unlock the Gold Blooded Ace Fortnite skin early, visit the Most Wanted tab in the main menu, the second tab. Head over there, and you will see all the important information regarding the event.

At the bottom of the screen, you will see your progress toward unlocking the free Fortnite skin. If you are not close to unlocking it, you can spend V-Bucks to obtain it early.


2) Buy rewards

While Epic Games released Most Wanted rewards for free, you must play Fortnite Battle Royale and complete various challenges to unlock them. However, if you have a lot of V-Bucks, you can unlock these free cosmetics with this currency.

To do so, press the Buy Rewards button in the bottom right corner of the Most Wanted event tab and choose how many rewards you want.


3) Unlock the skin early

Each Most Wanted level costs 150 V-Bucks, meaning you will need to spend 1,800 V-Bucks to buy everything, including the Gold Blooded Ace. By spending this currency to unlock the skin for free, you will also unlock 11 other cosmetic items.

Keep in mind that the Gold Blooded Ace Fortnite skin may be released to the Item Shop at a later date. You can also complete a couple of quests to earn Infamy. Each Most Wanted level will save you 150 V-Bucks, so if you reach 12,000 Infamy, you will save 450 V-Bucks.
