Looking for free Fortnite skins in April 2026? Right now, there are four skins you can unlock without spending V-Bucks, but one of them expires soon. This skin may return in the future as a paid item.
In this guide, we’ll show you all free Fortnite skins currently available, how to unlock them step by step, and which ones you should prioritize before they disappear.
Are there any free Fortnite skins right now?
In Fortnite Chapter 7 – Season 2, four skins are available for free. Most of these skins are available on every supported device, so you can unlock them whether you play on PC, console, or mobile.
Here is a quick recap of all the available skins you can currently unlock for free.
| Skin | Expiry date | Platform |
|---|---|---|
| Yeddy | June 5, 2026 | Android |
| Explorer Emilie | N/A | All platforms |
| Trailblazer Tai | N/A | All platforms |
| Mr. Dappermint | N/A | All platforms |
Now, let’s check how to unlock all of them.
Yeddy
How to get Yeddy: Download Fortnite on Android and gain one Account Level after recruiting a friend.
Yeddy is a new free skin in Fortnite that celebrates the game’s return to the Google Play Store. If you download the game on your Android phone and recruit a friend, you will receive a new quest that grants the skin.
To unlock Yeddy, you simply need to gain one Account Level. As soon as you do this, the skin will be added to your account. It appears that the skin can also be unlocked in Fortnite’s Save the World mode, although this is a bug.
Explorer Emilie & Mr. Dappermint
How to get Explorer Emilie and Mr. Dappermind: Connect your Epic Games and LEGO accounts in the account settings.
Explorer Emilie and Mr. Dappermint can both be unlocked at the same time. Just like the Stormtrooper skin above, unlocking these skins requires you to link accounts. This time, however, you need to link your Epic Games and LEGO Insider accounts. As soon as you do this, both of the free skins will be added to your Fortnite locker.
To link accounts, follow these steps:
- Log in to your Epic Games account
- Go to Epic Account Settings
- Choose Apps & Accounts from the menu
- Click on Connect under the LEGO Account
- Allow the link between accounts
Once you’ve finished the last step, both Mr. Dappermint and Explorer Emilie will be added to your Fortnite account. These skins have no expiry date.
Traiblazer Tai
How to get Trailblazer Tai: Grab the free quest pack from the Item Shop and complete quests in LEGO Fortnite.
Out of all the free Fortnite skins on this list, unlocking Trailblazer Tai takes the most time. To get this skin, you first need to get the True Explorers Quest Pack from the Item Shop. The pack is free and contains quests for the skin and the back bling. More specifically, you need to finish the following tasks to unlock the items:
- Enter a Survival world in LEGO Fortnite
- Invite an NPC to live in any village
- Craft a Shortsword
- Build a Spinning Wheel
- Hit and deal damage with a Recurve Crossbow
Unfortunately, you won’t be able to build a Spinning Wheel or craft a Recurve Crossbow right away. Before you can do so, you will need to upgrade your village several times and collect the necessary materials. Fortunately, Trailblazer Tai doesn’t have an expiry date either, so you have plenty of time to add this free skin to your Fortnite account.
To unlock more free cosmetics, you can level up the Battle Pass using some of the best XP maps in Fortnite.
