The Eclipse ‘Brella Reloaded is a free Epic umbrella glider tied to Fortnitemares 2026, and it brings back the look of the Kado Thorne Victory Umbrella from Chapter 4 Season 4. There is no purchase involved and no quest chain to grind. You win one match in the right mode, and it lands in your locker.
Quick answer: Secure a Victory Royale in Fortnite Reload. Unranked wins give the Eclipse ‘Brella Reloaded; Ranked wins give the Bladed version. Both are free until December 12, 2026, 7 AM ET.
What you need to unlock the Eclipse ‘Brella Reloaded
The only requirement is a win in Fortnite Reload. Placement, kills, and loadout do not matter, so a single Victory Royale completes the unlock. Any map currently in the Reload rotation counts toward it, including the recently added Surf City Remix.
- Play Fortnite Reload (any map in rotation).
- Finish the match with a Victory Royale.
- Claim before the December 12 cutoff.
Ranked and Unranked styles
Reload hands out two separate styles depending on where you earn the win. Winning in standard Reload gives the base umbrella, while winning in Ranked Reload gives a sharper variant. Both share the same ID and sit in the same locker entry as selectable styles.
| Style | Mode | Look |
|---|---|---|
| Eclipse ‘Brella Reloaded | Unranked Reload | Red parasol with neon blue lines and added neon blades |
| Bladed Eclipse ‘Brella Reloaded | Ranked Reload | Same base pattern with extended neon spikes down the canopy |
The design copies the original Eclipse ‘Brella closely, keeping the red canopy and glowing blue veins. Its in-game description reads “A perilous parasol of doom.” The Reload rework adds the neon blades, and the Ranked variant pushes those spikes the full length of the umbrella for a more aggressive silhouette.
How to claim and equip it
You will know it worked when the glider appears in your locker as an owned cosmetic and can be equipped. From that point it deploys like any other umbrella glider at the end of your next match.
Claim deadline
The free unlock window closes on December 12, 2026, at 7 AM ET. After that, the glider may resurface in the Item Shop, but there is no confirmed paid listing or date yet, so earning it through a Reload win while the event runs is the safe route.
While you are stacking Reload wins, Fortnitemares 2026 quests run alongside the event, including the free Jack-A-Nape skin for completing 26 of them, plus XP toward the Chapter 7 Season 4 Battle Pass.
