Excalibur, the first Warframe outfit to reach Fortnite, is now available. You can pick it up in the Item Shop for V-Bucks, but there is a cheaper route. Because Warframe is free to play, Epic ties the skin to a gift-with-purchase promotion, so buying any qualifying Warframe add-on on the Epic Games Store drops Excalibur straight into your Fortnite locker.
Quick answer: Buy any eligible Warframe item or bundle on the Epic Games Store using the same Epic account you play Fortnite with. Excalibur is added to your locker automatically. The cheapest confirmed option is the 175 Platinum Pack in Warframe’s in-game Market at $3.99.
Which Warframe purchases unlock Excalibur
A wide range of Warframe packs count toward the reward, including Prime Access bundles, supporter packs, and standalone Platinum packs. Every eligible purchase grants the same Excalibur outfit in Fortnite, so the practical goal is to spend as little as possible. If you already bought a qualifying item before the promotion began, Excalibur is granted to you as well.
Some of the qualifying items include:
- Warframe: Initiate Pack
- Warframe: Deimos Hive Supporter Pack
- Warframe: Deimos Swarm Supporter Pack
- Deimos Neophyte to Hive Pack
- Warframe: Nezha Prime Access – Divine Spears Pack
- Warframe: Nezha Prime Access – Accessories Pack
- Platinum packs (such as 170 Platinum and 370 Platinum)
The full list of qualifying Warframe products is available on Epic’s gift-with-purchase page. Note that if you browse the page in some non-English languages, the Warframe section may not display, so switch the storefront language to English if the list appears empty.
Cheapest way to claim the free skin
Prices differ depending on where you buy. The 175 Platinum Pack listed inside Warframe’s own Market is the lowest confirmed cost. Buying that same tier of Platinum through the Epic Games Store storefront runs higher, and the Wukong Qitian Collection sits in between. Compared to the 1,500 V-Bucks needed to buy Excalibur outright (roughly $14), the in-game Platinum route saves a meaningful amount.
| 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) |
Claim Excalibur through the Epic Games Store
How to confirm the skin arrived
When you next 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.
If the skin does not appear, the most common cause is buying on a different Epic account than the one linked to your Fortnite profile. Make sure both actions happen on the same account. The free Excalibur outfit has no expiration date once granted, so there is no rush to equip it.
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 or pickaxe included, 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 will then appear in your locker. Excalibur entered the Item Shop on July 11, 2026 at 8 PM ET and is scheduled to leave on July 18, 2026 at 8 PM ET, so the shop window is closing soon. The Epic Games Store method remains available for as long as the eligible Warframe products stay on sale, making it the better long-term option for anyone chasing the skin without spending V-Bucks.
