Wrixel is the block-style Battle Pass skin in Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 4 (Override), and it comes with a large set of character-inspired styles you can mix and match. The base outfit is not the hard part. Everything interesting sits behind the Build-A-Wrixel quests, which send you into the Admin Panel, across the map for cheat codes and collectibles, and through a five-stage story questline for the final Ziggy style.
Quick answer: Own the Chapter 7 Season 4 Battle Pass and reach Level 10 to unlock Wrixel itself, then open Quests → Build-A-Wrixel and complete each objective. There are 15 extra styles: some are earned in the lobby, some by entering cheat codes at set locations, some by collecting parts, and one (Ziggy) by finishing the Get Crafty story quests.
What you need before unlocking styles
You must own the Chapter 7 Season 4 Battle Pass and hit Level 10 to claim Wrixel, which arrives with the Haze and Helsie variants. Once the skin is yours, the Build-A-Wrixel questline appears under the Quests menu. Each completed quest permanently adds a themed style you can apply from the Styles screen, giving thousands of possible combinations across the pieces you own.
Tip: Check the quest icon before you commit to anything. If the objective shows the Battle Royale map, you have to complete it during a match. Objectives tied to the Admin Panel or the Override tab can be finished in the lobby before you queue.
Lobby and Override styles: Cuddle Team Leader, Peely, Meowscles, Fishsticks
Start here, because these four styles rely on systems rather than travel. Cuddle Team Leader is the fastest of all. Open the Admin Panel from the Lobby screen and enter a Lobby Hack code such as DONTBLOCKME, which briefly turns your character into a block version and clears the objective without ever loading into a match.
| Style | How to unlock |
|---|---|
| Cuddle Team Leader | Enter a Lobby Hack in the Admin Panel |
| Peely | Purchase or upgrade Loot Hacks with Sprite Dust eight times in the Override tab |
| Meowscles | Acquire eight Power Ups (dropped by bosses) |
| Fishsticks | Activate eight Overrides at Consoles |
For Peely, you earn Sprite Dust by extracting sprites at Sprite Extraction Sites in matches, then spend it eight times on Loot Hacks in the Override tab. Buying new hacks or upgrading ones you already own both count, so pick options that actually help your matches instead of wasting dust on quest credit alone.
Meowscles asks you to acquire eight Power Ups, which drop from bosses. Only one boss is active at a time in a given match, so this one takes a few games. Playing during Golden Hours (Power Hour) helps, since it grants a guaranteed 1-Up token at the start of every match. Those windows run from 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM and 9:00 PM to 11:00 PM EST. Fishsticks works the same way as a background quest — activate eight Override Consoles scattered around the island, again with only one live per match.
Cheat code styles: Lynx, Aerial, Aura, Ghoul
Four styles come from entering character cheat codes at specific points of interest. These are not the same as Lobby Hacks. You have to physically travel to each location during a Battle Royale match, find the marked cheat code point, and input the arrow sequence shown on screen.
| Style | Cheat code location |
|---|---|
| Lynx | Heatwave Harbor |
| Aerial | Shaken Sanctuary |
| Aura | Wonkeland |
| Ghoul | The Battlewoods |
Track one quest at a time before you drop so the marker guides you straight to the interaction point. If several players land for the same code, touch the cheat point first and worry about looting or surviving afterward. Equipping a Cheat Master Sprite makes the arrow inputs easier, since it lets you button-mash any key on the console instead of following the exact directions.
Wrixel part styles: Drift, Luxe, Ruby, Skull Ranger
These four styles need you to collect four Wrixel parts each from a single point of interest. Simply visiting the POI does nothing. The parts sit inside small glowing chest-like boxes, and they only appear on your map once you get close, so track the quest and search the marked portion of the area.
| Style | Where to collect four parts |
|---|---|
| Drift | Green Hill Zone |
| Luxe | Cluster Coast |
| Ruby | The Battlewoods |
| Skull Ranger | Mega Maze |
Land directly on the quest area rather than arriving mid-match after other players have already rotated through. Collect every required part before you leave, since returning later once the storm shifts is a waste of time. Mega Maze in particular takes longer to search than an open POI, so give yourself the early-match head start there.
NPC styles: Jones and Hope
Two styles need nothing more than a conversation. Jones is found at Golden Grove, marked on the map, and speaking to him about his Wrixel outfit unlocks his style instantly. Hope’s location is also marked on the map, and asking her about her Wrixel outfit unlocks hers the same way.
Ziggy style: complete the Get Crafty story quests
Ziggy is the most involved style and the only one gated behind a full story questline. The Wrixel (Ziggy) Get Crafty quests run across five stages, and you unlock the outfit after completing all of them. Each quest also pays out 10k EXP, with milestone rewards along the way.
| Quests completed | Reward |
|---|---|
| One | Cheat Code Locator Gizmo |
| Two | Llama Supply Drop |
| Six | Portable Extractor Gizmo |
| Nine | Ziggy Outfit |
How to confirm a style unlocked and apply it
Each Build-A-Wrixel quest marks itself complete the moment its condition is met, and the matching style is added to Wrixel’s Styles list right away. To use it, hover over Wrixel in the locker and open the Styles option, or jump straight there from the Battle Pass screen. From there you can freely combine the pieces you own — legs, torso, hat, and accessory from different characters — to build your own version of the skin.
If a quest is not progressing, the usual cause is straightforward. Part quests require you to actually interact with each collectible, not just reach the POI. Cheat code and console quests must be completed inside a Battle Royale match, and the Power Up and console objectives only advance when the relevant boss or console is the one active that game. Clear the lobby-based styles first, then chain the map quests together on your Battle Bus routes to finish the full set with the fewest matches.
