Excalibur is the first Warframe character to reach the Fortnite Island, arriving as a Gaming Legends Outfit in Chapter 7 Season 3. You can buy the skin outright for V-Bucks, but there is a cheaper path that ties the outfit to an Epic Games Store promotion. Because Warframe is free to play, Epic grants Excalibur as a gift when you buy a qualifying Warframe add-on.
Quick answer: Buy any eligible Warframe item or bundle on the Epic Games Store using the same Epic account you play Fortnite with, and Excalibur is added to your locker automatically. The cheapest confirmed option is the 175 Platinum Pack inside Warframe’s in-game Market at $3.99.
Cheapest way to claim the free Excalibur skin
Any qualifying Warframe purchase grants the same Excalibur outfit, so the goal is to spend as little as possible. Prices differ depending on where you buy. The lowest confirmed cost is the small Platinum pack sold inside Warframe’s own Market, which still counts toward the reward even though you are not buying it on the store page itself.
| Option | Where to buy | Price |
|---|---|---|
| 175 Platinum Pack | Warframe in-game Market | $3.99 |
| Wukong Qitian Collection | Epic Games Store / Launcher | $6.99 |
| 175 Platinum pack | Epic Games Store add-ons | ~$8–$9 |
| Excalibur outfit (skin only) | Fortnite Item Shop | 1,500 V-Bucks (~$14) |
Compared with the 1,500 V-Bucks needed to buy the skin directly, the in-game Platinum route costs a fraction of the price and leaves you with Platinum to spend in Warframe.
Claim Excalibur through the Epic Games Store
You can find the complete list of qualifying products on Epic’s Gift With Purchase page. If the Warframe section looks empty, switch the storefront language to English, since some languages hide the list.
Which Warframe purchases unlock Excalibur
A wide range of packs count toward the reward, from standalone Platinum packs to Prime Access bundles, supporter packs, Heirloom collections, TennoCon digital packs, and Prime Vault packs. Past purchases qualify too. If you bought an eligible Warframe item on the Epic Games Store before the promotion began, Excalibur is granted to you as well. Some of the commonly cited options include the following.
- Warframe: 175 Platinum (2026) and other Platinum packs
- Warframe: Initiate Pack
- Warframe: Wukong Qitian Collection
- Warframe: Deimos Hive Supporter Pack and Deimos Swarm Supporter Pack
- Warframe: Nezha Prime Access – Divine Spears Pack and Accessories Pack
- TennoCon Digital Packs (2021 through 2026)
How to confirm the outfit arrived
The next time you log in to Fortnite after a qualifying purchase, a reward pop-up appears telling you that a recent Epic Games purchase includes a special Fortnite reward, along with a “1 item obtained” notice. Excalibur then shows up as an owned outfit in your locker, ready to equip. Once granted, the free outfit has no expiration date, so there is no rush to use it.
If it does not appear, the usual cause is buying on a different Epic account than the one linked to your Fortnite profile. Make sure both the Warframe purchase and Fortnite run on the same account.
Note: If you already bought the Excalibur outfit in Fortnite and then buy an eligible Warframe add-on, you receive a one-time grant of 1,500 V-Bucks instead of a duplicate skin. That V-Bucks compensation only applies if you purchased the outfit within the previous 12 months.
Buying Excalibur in the Fortnite Item Shop
If you would rather not touch Warframe at all, Excalibur is also sold directly in the Fortnite Item Shop for 1,500 V-Bucks. The catch is that this version is the outfit only, with no back bling, pickaxe, or emote attached, which is unusual for a skin at that price.
To grab it there, open the Item Shop from the top bar in the main lobby, scroll to the Excalibur listing, click the skin, then press and hold the Purchase button to confirm. It then appears in your locker.
Excalibur entered the Item Shop on July 11, 2026 and is scheduled to leave on July 18, 2026 at 8 PM ET, so this direct route is closing soon. The Epic Games Store method stays available for as long as the eligible Warframe products remain on sale, making it the better long-term option for anyone who wants the skin without spending V-Bucks.
