Free skins are occasionally available in LEGO Fortnite that look great and save you some cash – and there’s one skin available right now.

Fortnite has become known for its huge amount of collabs and crossovers. So when Epic Games launched the LEGO edition in December 2023 it was obvious some new skins were also arriving with the survival game.

How to unlock Lego Explorer Emilie & Mr. Dappermint skins

To unlock the Emilie and Mr. Dappermint skins, follow the steps below:

Sign up for LEGO Insiders.
Tap on your avatar and go to ‘My Profile‘.
Go to ‘Settings’ and ‘Edit Account‘.
Enter the second option ‘Connections‘.
Link the Epic Games account you use to play Fortnite.

Explorer Emilie has been available in LEGO Fortnite since December 2023, while Mr. Dappermint was added to the game in late 2024. You can redeem both skins via this method with only Mr. Dappermint unlocking if you’ve already redeemed Emilie.

For a more detailed breakdown of these steps, we’ve got you covered below:

The first thing you’ll need to do is create an account for Lego Insiders. Once you’re on the website, click on the ‘Join Now’ button on the top right corner of the screen.

How to unlock Chord Kahele skin

To get the free Chord Kahele skin in LEGO Fortnite, you’ll need to earn up to 100,000 XP by playing Fortnite via the mobile app on iPhone iOS or Android.

The quickest way to do this is by focusing your attention on completing the daily and weekly quests (like thanking the bus driver). As 100,000 XP isn’t a lot in the grand scheme of things you should earn the experience needed after completing a few of them.

Chord Kahele will be available to get until February 21, 2025, so there’s still plenty of time left to add this skin to your locker.

Another free skin that was available for a long time was the LEGO Trailblazer Tai skin. Unfortunately as of January 17, 2025, the True Explorers Quest Pack bundle that you need to download to get the skin is no longer available in the store.

If it returns in the future, we’ll be sure to update this page with the details.
