Fortnite continues to impress its player base by offering free skins, particularly in December, a month synonymous with generosity. In a surprising move, Epic Games has decided to kick off the gifting season early in 2024 by offering special cosmetic items prior to the Winterfest celebrations.
In this guide, we will walk you through the steps to acquire the Mr Dappermint skin at no cost in Fortnite. Although it remains unclear whether this offer will be available indefinitely or limited to a short period, enthusiasts are encouraged to act quickly to secure this exclusive reward.
How to Obtain the Mr Dappermint Skin in Fortnite
Players can receive the Mr Dappermint skin for free by linking their Epic Games account to their LEGO account.
To initiate the linking process, players need to log into their Epic Games account via a web browser. Once logged in, they should click on their username located at the top right corner of the page and select Account. In the following section, navigate to the Apps & Accounts tab to connect the LEGO account to the Epic ID.
For those linking their Epic Games and LEGO accounts for the first time, there’s an added bonus: players will also receive the Explorer Emilie skin in Fortnite, as part of a continuing promotional offer.
When Will I Receive the Mr Dappermint Skin in Fortnite?
Once the accounts are linked, there are no further actions required from players. Typically, the Mr Dappermint skin will appear in the Fortnite locker within a few hours. If it doesn’t show up immediately after logging into the game, players shouldn’t panic just yet.
