Perlica, the five-star Electric Caster and Supervisor of Endfield Industries, joins Fortnite as a Gaming Legends Series Outfit. There are two ways to add her to your locker: pay 1,500 V-Bucks in the Item Shop, or unlock the same skin for free by spending on Arknights: Endfield through the Epic Games Store. The free route is the focus here.
Quick answer: Buy any eligible Arknights: Endfield add-on on the Epic Games Store using the same Epic account you play Fortnite with, and the Perlica Outfit is delivered to your Fortnite locker on August 14, 2026.
Unlock Perlica for free through the Epic Games Store
Arknights: Endfield is a free-to-play title, so the game itself costs nothing. The catch is that the free skin promotion requires a paid in-game add-on. Buy one of the qualifying items and you skip the 1,500 V-Bucks entirely.
These are the add-ons that qualify for the free Perlica Outfit:
| Eligible add-on |
|---|
| Mine a pile of Origeometry |
| Mine a bag of Origeometry |
| Mine a box of Origeometry |
| Mine a crate of Origeometry |
| Protocol Customized |
| Monthly Materials Bundle |
After the purchase clears, the Perlica Outfit appears in your Fortnite locker on August 14, 2026. There is no expiration on the free unlock as long as Arknights: Endfield remains available on the Epic Games Store and uses Epic’s payments for in-app purchases.
Buy Perlica in the Fortnite Item Shop
If you would rather not touch Arknights: Endfield, the same Outfit sells in the Fortnite Item Shop. It goes live on August 14, 2026, at 8 PM ET and stays until August 21, 2026, at 8 PM ET, which leaves a full week to grab it.

Confirm the free skin worked
You will know the free unlock succeeded when the Perlica Outfit shows up in your Fortnite locker on the release date without a V-Bucks charge. If it does not appear, the most common cause is a mismatch between accounts. The Epic account used to buy the Arknights: Endfield add-on has to be the exact same account you play Fortnite on, otherwise the reward never lands.
Only the Outfit has been confirmed so far. Whether extras such as a Back Bling or Pickaxe join the set has not been announced.
Both routes end with the same skin, so the choice comes down to whether you want to spend real money on an Endfield add-on or 1,500 V-Bucks in the shop. If you already play Arknights: Endfield or plan to buy Origeometry anyway, the Epic Games Store path effectively hands you Perlica at no extra cost.
