Juice WRLD
Ahead of this Saturday’s Juice WRLD tribute concert, Fortnite is giving out one free “Slayer” Juice WRLD skin, plus back bling, a pickaxe and wallpaper, which you can claim right now. Well, you can claim it, you cannot actually use it. Yeah, it’s weird.
What’s happening, for some reason, is that Fortnite has set this up so that if you log in now, you will be eligible for the Juice WRLD skin which will then be delivered to you the next day. In this case, if you log in now, it would show up tomorrow when you log in again.
This offer is available for five days until 10 PM ET on Saturday, November 30, and then you can’t get it anymore, and it’s unknown if it will be sold at some point in the future.
It is very weird that they’re doing it this way instead of just giving it to players on login, I have no idea what the plan is here or why they would distribute it this way, but for those who knew the skin was dropping on November 25, today, I can understand why you would be confused. So far as I can tell there is not even some sort of indicator when you log in that you are now eligible for skin delivery the following day.
Juice WRLD
This is one of two Juice WRLD skins that are arriving for the event, which is on Saturday, November 30 at 2 PM ET. The other is going to be sold in the shop, and is a not a cell-shaded version, but rather one that looks like the giant Juice WRLD you can already see on the map. I am wondering where the profits of that skin are heading, hopefully to his family? It’s certainly an unusual situation, but here’s how Fortnite pitched the show when it was announced for the Remix finale:
“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*. Stay tuned for more details on celebrating Juice WRLD and Remix: The Finale, later this month.”
As you can see, that old blog post says the Slayer skin was going tot be delivered the day of, but it has since been changed to this five day login system, according to Epic. This seems like a bit of a cluster, but the point is, if you log in now, you will get the skin. Just not that instant.
