How to get the Giannis Antetokounmpo Fortnite skin

The Giannis Antetokounmpo Fortnite skin is finally out after much anticipation. The skin of the popular basketball player was leaked a few weeks ago, as fans keenly awaited its release in the Item Shop.

Antetokounmpo is among the best basketball players in the world, so adding him to Fortnite makes sense. Furthermore, the popular athlete is also known to be a Fortnite gamer.

Epic Games released two Giannis Antetokounmpo Fortnite skins on Saturday which are available for a limited time. This article explains how to get them.

Epic Games has collaborated with the NBA several times, adding numerous basketball skins to the popular battle royale game. While players have had a chance to purchase customizable NBA skins, Epic has also added several basketball stars to the game.

Last year, LeBron James made his way to the Fortnite island with plenty of accessories and styles. This time around, Giannis Antetokounmpo has been introduced in several different styles.

Antetokounmpo was born and raised in Greece, with his parents originally from Nigeria. The two skins available in Fortnite Battle Royale represent both of these countries. Here is how you can get them:

1) Launch the game and open the Item Shop

To obtain one or more Giannis Antetokounmpo cosmetic items, you will need to open the Item Shop. Unfortunately, this means that you can only obtain the basketball player by spending V-Bucks.

At the top of the shop, you will see his bundles, which carry discounts if you're looking to purchase multiple cosmetics.

2) Choose the item you want to purchase

If you're not a fan of bundles and want to purchase only one cosmetic item, you can do so by scrolling through the Item Shop. The second section of the shop has all the items that you can purchase separately.

To obtain the Giannis Antetokounmpo Fortnite skin, simply select the variant that you want and open it.

If you are happy with the skin, simply hold down the Purchase button and it will be added to your locker. The variant inspired by Nigeria costs 2,000 V-Bucks, while the Hoplite variant, inspired by Greek soldiers, costs 1,500 V-Bucks.

You can get a refund for a Fortnite cosmetic item within 24 hours through the Item Shop if you haven't used it. Additionally, you may use one of your lifetime refund tickets to get a refund within 30 days of purchase.
