Let's fact it, we can all do with a freebie once in a while. With so many new skins arriving in Fortnite, it's hard to keep up with them all and can quickly become an expensive hobby.

Fortunately, Fortnite regularly offers small ways that you can get more for your money and attain some free skins.

So here are some tips to grab free skins and V-Bucks in Fortnite Season 8.

How To Get Free Skins And V-Bucks In Fortnite

The following methods will get your free skins, cosmetics or V-Bucks for free without any purchase necessary.

Prime Gaming

Prime Gaming regularly offers players the chance to grab free cosmetics. So be sure sign up for Amazon Prime and link it to your Twitch account for free rewards.

Limited-Time Events And Cups

When a big skin is announced, usually you'll find a corresponding Cup to go with it that allows users to grab it for free by competing against other players and coming out with a successful show.

Last season's Wonder Woman Cup was a great example of how players could grab four cosmetics for free, before it went on sale.

Likewise, events such as 2020's Snowdown or Halloween event (of which another is scheduled for this season) will provide free cosmetics.

PlayStation Plus

Luckily, PlayStation fans occassionally offer free packs including the 'Celebration Pack', exclusively for PS Plus subscribers.

Twitch Drops

Twitch users can obtain free drops by linking their Epic Games account to their Twitch account. All you have to do is log in and watch specific streams (including FNCS streams) to claim them.

Challenge Skins

Sometimes Epic releases a skin or challenge pack for players to complete to earn a free skin - the most recent of which was the Street Shadows skin.
