Today, May 27th, 2021, is the day when Fortnite players will get the chance to compete in the Deathstroke Zero Cup and obtain the new Fortnite Deathstroke skin.
The battle royale has been involved in a crossover with DC Comics and Batman as part of the Zero Point saga. It only makes sense that a Fortnite Deathstroke skin is released to give players the ability to play as one of the original Batman villains.

The Fortnite Deathstroke skin is incredibly cool, portraying the iconic character perfectly. Players will be able to get their hands on one, but only by competing in the Deathstroke Cup.
Unlocking the Fortnite Deathstroke skin by competing
The Fortnite Deathstroke skin will hit the item shop eventually like many Cup skins. It is arriving on June 1, 2021. Those who perform well in the Deathstroke Zero Cup will get a chance to show it off a bit early though.
To unlock the Fortnite Deathstroke skin early, players need to be one of the top performers in the Cup. Eight points are needed to obtaint the Slade's Watching Spray, but only the best will receive the actual skin.
The Fortnite Deathstroke skin, known as Deathstroke Zero, along with a back bling and pickaxe, will be available in a variety of regions. Here is the placement threshold as per Epic Games for players looking to obtain the Fortnite Deathstroke skin for free:
