How to get the Juice WRLD skin in Fortnite for free
The Juice WRLD skin in Fortnite will finally become a reality in Chapter 2 Remix. Epic Games is posthumously collaborating with the artist to have him immortalized in the Metaverse. With the theme of the upcoming season largely revolving around music and artists, it is the perfect time to pay homage to Jarad Anthony Higgins, aka Juice WRLD.
How to get the Juice WRLD skin in Fortnite for free? Explained
As per the information provided by Epic Games, to get the Juice WRLD skin in Fortnite for free, you need to log in to the game between 1 AM ET on November 30, 2024, and 1 AM ET on December 1, 2024.
Additionally, towards the end of Fortnite Chapter 2 Remix, the Remix: The Finale live event will occur on November 30, 2024, at 2 PM ET to honor Juice's legacy. And that's not all.
Epic Games will be sharing more details on celebrating Juice WRLD and Remix: The Finale later this month. Perhaps other cosmetics and Fortnite Festival Jam Tracks that feature Juice WRLD could be added as well. Carmela Wallace, mother of Jarad “Juice WRLD” Higgins had this to say about the collaboration:
“Jarad always loved to play Fortnite – it was more than just entertainment for him, it was a way to connect with others. From a young age, video games were a part of how he bonded with friends and family, and being in Fortnite is an incredible tribute to that connection. I know he would be overjoyed to see how his love for games continues to bring people together across different spaces, just like his music does.”
Can I still get the Juice WRLD skin in Fortnite if I miss the event?
Yes, you will be able to get the Juice WRLD skin if you miss the event, but it will not be free. Epic Games has mentioned that the Juice WRLD skin in Fortnite will be available for purchase in the Fortnite Item Shop at a later date.
If you are unable to make it to the Remix: The Finale live event or are unable to log in during the applicable window of time, you will be able to purchase the Juice WRLD skin in Fortnite, via the Item Shop later. No date has been mentioned yet.
Why is Juice WRLD’s skin free in Fortnite Chapter 2 Remix?
You may be wondering why Epic Games is giving away the skin for free given that the skins of other artists are paid. Well. it has to do with the fact that Juice WLRD was a huge fan of Fortnite and would actively play the game.
To honor his legacy and commemorate him as an artist, his skin will be given out for free to all players. This will not only immortalize him in the Metaverse but also introduce many players to his music, which in turn will help his memory carry on.
Kobe Bryant could also be posthumously honored in Fortnite Chapter 2 Remix
In addition to the free Juice WRLD skin in Fortnite that honors the artist, it appears that Kobe Bryant could also be honored in-game. Spotted by "X" users Ke23mvp and Rezztro and reshared by prominent leaker/data miner HYPEX, an additional Style for Snoop Dogg Outfit features the Lakers jersey with the number 24, the same that was used by Kobe Bryant.
This is not the first time that Snoop Dogg will be paying tribute to Kobe Bryant. During the 2024 U.S. Olympic Trials, the rapper was seen wearing a Bryant-inspired outfit, featuring the NBA legend wrapped in the American Flag, wearing his Team USA jersey. The Style that will be featured in Fortnite will likely be part of the Music Pass for Festival Season 6 or made available for purchase in the Item Shop.
