Fortnite is offering another free skin for a limited time. This time, you can unlock Dark Maw, a Halloween variant of the popular Black Knight skin. This is a new cosmetic item that will come out during the Fortnitemares 2025 event. However, before it comes to the Item Shop, you can grab it for free.
In this article, we will reveal all the details you need to know about the free skin. We’ll also explain how you can unlock it. If you miss this opportunity, you will get another shot on Sunday, October 5.
How to get Dark Maw Fortnite skin for free?
Dark Maw is an unreleased Fortnite skin that can only be obtained through the Early Access Cup. The cup is held on Friday, October 3, and you need to finish in the top 25% of the players in your region to obtain it. If you miss the cup on Friday, you’ll also be able to compete on Sunday with the same rules.
This is a Duo cup, so make sure to bring your favorite teammate. If you finish high enough, you will both get the new skin.
Dark Maw will likely come to the shop during the Halloween event in Fortnite. However, once it comes out, it won’t be free. We expect it to cost between 1200 and 1500 V-Bucks, so now you have a unique chance to add it to your locker without paying anything. The task is certainly not easy, as many other players will compete for the free item.
In addition to the Dark Maw skin, performing in the top 25% will grant you early access to a new Fortnite Reload map. This map will be released for top performers on October 9, while everyone else will get it later in October.
