Wednesday Addams arrives in Fortnite’s Halloween lineup as an Epic Outfit with selectable styles in Chapter 6, Season 4. She’s first obtainable through a limited-time Reload Duos Cup on Thursday, October 23, and then hits the Item Shop the next day, Friday, October 24.

How to unlock the Wednesday Addams skin for free

Play the limited-time Reload Duos Cup on Thursday. Teams that finish among the top placements in their region earn the Wednesday Addams outfit at no cost. Roughly 5,000 players across all regions will get the skin this way.

Everyone who scores at least eight points during the cup receives a Wednesday-themed spray.

Note: This event is Duos-only. You must queue with a partner; solo entries aren’t eligible.

Region placements for free skin eligibility

Region Minimum placement to earn the skin
Oceania (OCE) Top 150
Asia Top 150
Middle East (ME) Top 250
Europe (EU) Top 850
Brazil (BR) Top 250
North America Central (NAC) Top 500
North America West (NAW) Top 250

The cup rolls out through the day by region, starting in Oceania and Asia, with NA West running last late Thursday.

Scoring format (Reload Duos Cup)

  • Victory Royale: 10 points
  • Placement: reaching 10th place is worth 1 point (higher placements grant more; winning yields 10)
  • Eliminations: 1 point each

Because the event uses Fortnite Reload with respawns, eliminations add up quickly—but survival still matters most, as wins carry the biggest single-match payout.

Missed the cup? Wednesday hits the Item Shop next

If you don’t place high enough to claim the skin for free, Wednesday Addams is scheduled to arrive in the Item Shop on Friday, October 24. Expect standard V-Bucks pricing for a licensed Epic Outfit released during a seasonal event.

What you’re getting

Wednesday Addams is an Epic Outfit introduced in Chapter 6, Season 4. The cosmetic features selectable styles. In-game listing notes tie her initial availability to a limited-time competitive challenge, with broader access via the shop afterward.

The quickest path to Wednesday is straightforward: find a consistent Duo partner, focus on staying alive late, and stack eliminations in Reload. Place within your region’s cutoff on Thursday to get her free—or pick her up in the shop the day after.
