Fortnite: How to Get the Phantom Blade Zero Soul Skin for Free

Pre-order the game on the Epic Games Store to unlock the Soul Outfit and Sanguine cosmetics without spending V-Bucks.

Pre-order the game on the Epic Games Store to unlock the Soul Outfit and Sanguine cosmetics without spending V-Bucks.

The Phantom Blade Zero crossover brings the Soul Outfit into Fortnite, along with the Sanguine Pickaxe and Back Bling. You can add all of it to your locker without spending V-Bucks, provided you buy the game through the right account.

Quick answer: Pre-order any Phantom Blade Zero edition on the Epic Games Store while signed in with the same account you use for Fortnite. The Soul Outfit and Sanguine (Pickaxe and Back Bling) are added to your locker immediately after purchase.


Unlock the Soul skin free by pre-ordering Phantom Blade Zero

The free route is tied to a purchase of the game itself. Buying any edition of Phantom Blade Zero on the Epic Games Store grants the Fortnite cosmetics as a bonus, so there is no separate code to redeem.

Open the Epic Games Store through the desktop app or the website in your browser. Sign in with the exact account you play Fortnite on.
Search for Phantom Blade Zero in the store, or find it on the main storefront since pre-orders are live. Open the Phantom Blade Zero game listing.
Buy the game. The Standard Edition is priced at $59.99, and any edition qualifies for the cosmetics.

Launch Fortnite and open your locker. The Soul Outfit and Sanguine cosmetics will already be there, which confirms the reward landed on the correct account.

Note: If the items do not appear, the most common cause is buying the game on a different Epic account than the one linked to Fortnite. The reward only lands on the account that made the purchase.


What you receive and how long it lasts

The purchase bundles a full outfit and two matching cosmetics. Soul keeps the design from Phantom Blade Zero, wearing his signature armour and carrying a sword.

One important condition applies to refunds. If you refund Phantom Blade Zero, the Soul Outfit and both Sanguine items are removed from your Fortnite locker. Keep the game if you want to keep the cosmetics.


Buy the Soul skin from the Fortnite Item Shop instead

If you have no interest in the game, you do not have to buy it to own the outfit. Soul rotates into the Fortnite Item Shop for V-Bucks during a set window.

Open Fortnite and go to the Item Shop starting October 29, 2026 at 8 PM ET.
Browse the shop sections until you find the Phantom Blade Zero Soul skin, priced at 1,600 V-Bucks.
Select the skin, then press and hold the Purchase button to confirm the transaction. Open your locker to find Soul added to your outfits.

The skin leaves the Item Shop on November 5, 2026 at 7 PM ET. That gives you a week-long window to pick it up before it rotates out.


The choice comes down to what you value. Pre-ordering Phantom Blade Zero hands you the Soul Outfit plus the Sanguine Pickaxe and Back Bling at no extra cost and keeps them for good, as long as you keep the game. Passing on the game means waiting for the Item Shop window and paying 1,600 V-Bucks for the outfit alone.
