Free skins are a fairly rare occurrence in Fortnite, so whenever there is one up for grabs, it’s crucial you add it to your locker as soon as possible. To celebrate Chapter Six, Season Three, you can get a special Star Wars skin, which is the First Order Stormtrooper.
Star Wars skins are generally costly to purchase or difficult to obtain, so this is a pretty epic offering. Unlocking it requires fairly little work, too, so it’s certainly an opportunity worth seizing. Here’s how to get the free First Order Stormtrooper skin in Fortnite.

How to get First Order Stormtrooper in Fortnite
You can get the First Order Stormtrooper skin in Fortnite by linking your MyDisney and Epic Games accounts. It’s a completely free skin that’s granted to your account automatically as soon as you finish the connection process.
Only one MyDisney account can be linked to an Epic Games account at a time, so you must use a unique one to acquire this special outfit. Creating a MyDisney account is a completely free process, too, so even if you don’t have one, it’s easy to join.
How to link MyDisney and Epic Games accounts for Fortnite
You can link your MyDisney and Epic Games accounts through the official Epic Games website. This process can be a bit tricky, so here’s a full breakdown of all the steps you need to follow to get it done.
- Visit the official Epic Games page.
- Log in to your Epic Games account.
- Click on your name in the top right corner.
- Find the Account page from the drop-down menu.
- Scroll down to find the Apps & Accounts page.
- Locate the MyDisney icon.
- Select the connect option.
- Log in to your MyDisney account or make one.
- Check to make sure the Apps & Accounts page says “Connected” under MyDisney.
- Load Fortnite to claim the First Order Stormtrooper skin.
The First Order Stormtrooper should be granted to your account automatically as soon as you log in. It was the very first screen I saw when Fortnite finished loading, so it should be for you, too. If it’s not, double-check that you followed all steps and check again to make sure the MyDisney icon says “Connected” right under it. It’s supposed to be granted right away with no delay, so consider contacting support for assistance if you run into any issues with this process.
How long is the First Order Stormtrooper available for in Fortnite?
You can link your accounts to redeem the First Order Stormtrooper for free from April 29 to Aug. 31 at 11pm CT. After this date, this skin may return, but only as a shop item you have to purchase to unlock. It will likely cost around 1,500 V-Bucks when it comes to the shop, since this is the price of other similar Star Wars skins. Be sure to claim it before Aug. 31 so you don’t have to spend anything to unlock it.
