Introduction

Fortnite is celebrating the legacy of the late rapper Juice WRLD with an exclusive in-game event that coincides with a tribute concert happening this Saturday. Players will have the opportunity to unlock a free “Slayer” Juice WRLD skin, along with an array of themed items, including back bling, a pickaxe, and multiple wallpapers. However, there’s a unique catch: while players can claim the skin now, it won't be available for actual use until tomorrow. Confused? You're not alone!

Eligibility and Claiming Process

Starting from now and until November 30 at 10 PM ET, all you need to do is log into Fortnite. This will make you eligible to receive the skin and its accompanying goodies, but they won’t appear until your next login. So, if you log in today, you’ll see the items ready for you when you check back in tomorrow.

Distribution Method Mystery

What adds to the mystery is the unconventional method of distribution set by Epic Games. It’s unclear why the company decided against immediate availability of the skin, leading to confusion among players who expected a straightforward distribution. A key clarification: currently, there’s no indication in the game signaling your eligibility upon login.

Additional Juice WRLD Skins

To further elevate the excitement, two special Juice WRLD skins will be rolled out during this event. Along with the free Slayer skin, a different Juice WRLD skin will be available for purchase in the item shop. This version will resemble the colossal figure of Juice WRLD seen on the Fortnite map. Many fans are curious where the profits from this skin will go, hoping they will benefit Juice WRLD's family.

Live Event Details

Fortnite’s official announcement teases the upcoming live event, stating: “Chapter 2 Remix is ending on a special note — catch the Remix: The Finale live event on November 30 at 2 PM ET! To honor Juice’s legacy and love for Fortnite, all 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.” Note that the initial blog post indicated players would receive the skin immediately on the day of the event, but this detail has since transformed into the five-day login requirement, leading to speculation about potential technical issues or unforeseen complications.

Simplified Claiming Process

An update reveals that claiming your skin after the second login is simplified. Upon entering the game again, players will have a straightforward option to collect their skin along with the other items without hassle. Players should be mindful of how they claim, as receiving it too late at night can result in waiting a frustrating 24 hours until the next item shop reset.

Conclusion and Call to Action

Make sure to log in early to claim your exclusive Juice WRLD skin, as it’s expected that a significant number of players will be sporting this themed outfit during the live tribute concert on Saturday.
