Cosmetics are part of what makes Fortnite so much fun for some players. Whether it is a cool new pickaxe or the next collaboration with a big show or game, it’s always fun to see what Epic has in store for players. However, what about those who are not looking to spend any money? Well, luckily for you, there are tons of free cosmetics that you can collect in Fortnite at no cost! This quick article is going to go over some of the ways that you can collect some awesome cosmetics in Fortnite for free!

Free items from the Cowboy Bebop event

Events

Fortnite is notorious for the events that they have in-game. Whether it be part of the story line of the current season or a collaboration with another show or game, there are several events that players can earn free cosmetics through. So how do these events work? Typically, you’ll earn these cosmetics through quests that you can find in the quests tab on the home page in Fortnite. These quests work just like any other! Rewarding players with XP and, of course, the cosmetics that can be earned once you complete them. Some events last longer and are bigger than others, so make sure you stay up to date and check in each time an event goes live!

Battle Pass

While it is not as flashy as the paid Battle Pass, the free Battle Pass that players are provided with by default is a really great way to collect free cosmetics. Each season, every Battle Pass still provides players with some free items like sprays, emotes, and gliders in the Battle Pass if you choose not to purchase it. Unfortunately, most of the time, better items like skins and other cosmetics are locked behind a paywall, meaning you need to buy the Battle Pass to obtain them. However, there is an easy way to unlock the paid Battle Pass for free!

V-Bucks

Now I know what you’re thinking. “I thought you just said I could get the Battle Pass for free?” And that’s true! However, you need to play the waiting game to achieve it. You see, every season, the free Battle Pass provides players with 300 free V-Bucks. Each season, the newest Battle Pass costs 1,000 V-Bucks. Meaning if you complete the free Battle Pass for three seasons and the first couple of tiers in the fourth season, you can get the required 1,000 free V-Bucks to get the Battle Pass!

Now you might be thinking, “Is that even worth it for one Battle Pass?” And the answer is yes, it is! You see, the paid Battle Passes each season always gives players 1,500 V-bucks. Meaning if you save up your V-bucks for the three or so seasons, buy the paid Pass, and then use the V-bucks from each Battle Pass to buy the next one (if you obtain the required 1,000 V-bucks), you can unlock the paid battle pass each season by spending absolutely no money at all! So, if you are in it for the long haul and are patient in saving your V-bucks, you can get yourself so many great skins and other cosmetics for free!

Conclusion

There are plenty of great ways that you can unlock cosmetics in Fortnite for free, just by playing the game! If you have the patience to complete quests, save up V-bucks, and play often, you will see that it can be quite rewarding to earn cosmetics in Fortnite. Hopefully this article was helpful in showing you some great ways you can get free cosmetics in Fortnite while still enjoying the game like you normally would!
