The Juice WRLD skin will be FREE for a limited time!

Fortnite Chapter 2 Remix has officially landed, bringing players back to the map with many classic drop spots, weapons, and more. This season's rap-centric theme brought Ice Spice and Snoop Dogg to the game as Fortnite skins and in-game bosses. In an unexpected twist, the Fortnite Chapter 2 Remix trailer confirmed that a skin based on the late rap artist Juice WRLD, who loved the game, would be coming soon. This article explains everything you need to know, including how to get it.

Following the revelation of a Fortnite x Juice WRLD collaboration, Epic Games' blog post explained that the rap artist's Fortnite skin would arrive between Nov. 30 at 1 a.m. ET and Dec. 1 at 1 a.m. ET. Anyone who logs into Fortnite during that timeframe will receive the cel-shaded Juice WRLD Outfit for FREE. That means no purchase is necessary for those hoping to acquire the skin. If you miss this opportunity, it will be available later in the Item Shop or Web Shop.

Apart from the brief glimpse at Juice WRLD to conclude the trailer, the cosmetics remain encrypted. As a result, we likely won't know what the skin looks like until Epic Games is ready to release it.

How else will Juice WRLD be involved in the season?

The Fortnite Chapter 2 Remix trailer featured a touching nod to Juice WRLD. With a mixture of remixed Chapter 2 characters sitting alongside Snoop Dogg, Ice Spice, and Eminem at Midas' table, Epic Games left a chair empty in Juice WRLD's memory. The seat dons Juice WRLD's 999 tattoo, which symbolically represents turning a negative situation into a positive.

Epic will introduce a landmark called WRLD Point in week four of the season as a further tribute to the rap artist. Players can visit this area and pay their respects to him in-game.

Fortnite leaker FNBRBananik revealed intel that Juice WRLD's manager has seemingly confirmed the game will host a concert on Juice WRLD day on Nov. 30. This aligns with Epic's blog post, stating that Fortnite's Remix: The Finale event will occur on that day.
