In an exciting announcement made ahead of the highly anticipated Juice WRLD tribute concert this Saturday, Fortnite is offering players a chance to claim a free “Slayer” Juice WRLD skin, complete with back bling, a pickaxe, and several wallpapers. While you can claim this highly sought-after skin now, there’s a twist—you won't be able to use it right away!

How It Works: A Two-Step Process

If you log into Fortnite now, you'll be eligible to receive the Juice WRLD skin. However, the actual delivery of your skin will occur when you log in again the following day. This unusual method of distribution has left many players confused, especially since there is no clear notification system to inform you that you are eligible to claim your reward. Regardless, this offer will be available for just five days, ending on Saturday, November 30, at 10 PM ET, so be sure to seize this limited-time opportunity!

The Big Event: What to Expect

This unique skin release coincides with the “Remix: The Finale” live event on November 30 at 2 PM ET, in honor of Juice WRLD's legacy and his passion for Fortnite. Players who log in between 1 AM ET on November 30 and 1 AM ET on December 1 will receive the cel-shaded Slayer Juice WRLD Outfit. This tribute further includes another Juice WRLD skin that will be available for purchase in the item shop.

The Future of Juice WRLD Merchandise

With so many excited fans ready to don the new skins during the event, one has to wonder where the profits from the purchasable skin are headed. Fans are hopeful that some of these funds will reach Juice WRLD’s family, making this tribute even more meaningful.

Claiming Your Skin

For those who have already logged in, good news! When you log in again on the next day, the skin and all included items are easily accessible upon opening the game interface. You’ll receive a comprehensive package that features not only the skin and back bling but also dual knives and four striking wallpapers to showcase in your collection.

Why the Delay, Epic Games?

Many players are scratching their heads over why Epic Games chose this method of distribution instead of granting immediate access upon the first login. This could potentially cause frustration among players who log in late in the day; they might find themselves waiting a full 24 hours until the next item shop reset. While the reasoning behind this delay remains unclear, it’s worth noting that this approach has led to a whirlwind of confusion.

A Spectacle to Remember

Expect to see a vibrant crowd of players sporting the new Juice WRLD skins during the tribute concert, creating an atmospheric nod to one of hip-hop’s beloved artists. As the event approaches, excitement continues to build, so don't miss your chance to be a part of this unforgettable experience!

Remember to stay tuned for more updates about Juice WRLD and the ongoing events in Fortnite. Happy gaming!
