It was recently announced that the next Fortnite Icon Series skin would be for Chica, a longtime and popular content creator. She joins the ever-growing list of Icon Series skins that includes LeBron James, Bruno Mars, Naomi Osaka, and Marshmello.

Just like all the other Icon Series skins, Chica will eventually land in the Item Shop, where she will undoubtedly be a very popular purchase. However, similar to other Icon Series skins, Chica will be available for free in the early stages of launch. Here's how to unlock the skin.

How to get free Chica Icon Series Fortnite skin

Epic Games had this to say about the new skin:

"Attention, pollos: Chica is the next community creator joining the Icon Series! Chica’s Icon Series Set will be available in the Item Shop starting Saturday, May 7, 2022, at 8 PM ET. For those who want to hatch her Outfit and Back Bling early, you can compete in the Chica Cup on Thursday, May 5, for a chance to unlock these items plus a special Spray!"

Chica will be available for free during the Chica Cup, which will be held later today. The Chica skin, back bling, and spray will all be available to participants.

This tournament will be a Zero Build Duos tournament. As usual, eliminations will be worth one point, with placement being a crucial factor as well:

• Victory Royale: 25 Points
• 2nd: 22 Points
• 3rd: 20 Points
• 4th: 18 Points
• 5th: 17 Points
• 6th: 16 Points
• 7th: 15 Points
• 8th: 14 Points
• 9th: 13 Points
• 10th: 12 Points

Top placing players in each region will unlock the outfit and back bling for free. Every participating player who earns at least eight points will also unlock the 'Chica Was Here' spray.

Additionally, those who are not participating can still unlock free cosmetics. According to Epic Games,

"All viewers who watch one hour cumulative of Fortnite on Twitch from May 6 at 10 AM ET to May 8 at 10 PM ET will unlock the [Pollito] Spray!"

All available cosmetics for Chica's Icon Series will be available in the Item Shop following the Chica Cup. This Fortnite skin will be one of the most customizable skins since it has five alternate styles.

All cosmetics, including the back bling and pickaxe, will more than likely come in some sort of bundle. These will arrive in the Item Shop on May 7. All information about the cup can be found on the Epic Games site or the Competitive tab in Fortnite.
