Here’s how to get the Boss Obsidian skin in Fortnite during Chapter 5 Season 3, now that Epic has released the Outfit into to the game “for real this time.”

Fortnite accidentally announced the brand-new Boss Obsidian skin in a now-deleted post to its X account on July 29. This instantly led the community to believe it was coming soon to the in-game shop.

However, as many had already assumed, it finally launched into the Battle Royale the following day. Epic’s new July 30 post read: “Take the journey into the altitude as Boss Obsidian (for real this time).”

Despite featuring Deadpool images, the skin is an Epic original Outfit that resembles the classic Black Knight skin with its black medieval armor and red accents. Here’s everything you need to know.

Boss Obsidian has not been the only skin that has accidentally been revealed by Epic during Chapter 5 Season 3. Before the Pirates of the Caribbean collab dropped, Jack Sparrow and the Cursed Sails Pass event was made available for players to purchase in the game by mistake, before being removed.

On the other hand, Deadpool & Wolverine skins finally launched in Fortnite on July 27, celebrating the MCU film with several cosmetic bundles to get your hands on.
