Perlica, the 5-star Electric Caster operator who fronts Arknights: Endfield, is crossing over into Fortnite as a Gaming Legends outfit. She arrives on August 14, 2026, and you can pick her up two ways: pay 1,500 V-Bucks in the Item Shop, or claim her as a bonus by buying an eligible Arknights: Endfield item on the Epic Games Store.
Quick answer: Buy any qualifying Arknights: Endfield add-on on the Epic Games Store using the same account you play Fortnite with, and the Perlica outfit appears in your locker on August 14. Otherwise, purchase her directly in the Fortnite Item Shop for 1,500 V-Bucks between August 14 and August 21.
Release time: Friday, August 14, 2026, 5:00 PM PT (8:00 PM ET)
When the Perlica skin goes live in your region

|---|---|
| Pacific (PT) | Friday, August 14 – 5:00 PM |
| Mountain (MT) | Friday, August 14 – 6:00 PM |
| Central (CT) | Friday, August 14 – 7:00 PM |
| Eastern (ET) | Friday, August 14 – 8:00 PM |

Get Perlica free through an Arknights: Endfield purchase
The outfit comes bundled as a gift when you buy a qualifying Arknights: Endfield item on the Epic Games Store on or after January 22, 2026. If you already bought one of these items earlier in the year, you are already eligible and do not need to purchase again. The catch is simple: it only counts as “free” because the skin rides along with an in-game purchase you make anyway.
These are the eligible items that unlock the skin:
- 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
The cheapest route is worth noting. Mine a Pile of Origeometry runs about $12.99, while 1,500 V-Bucks currently costs around $22.29, so the add-on path can effectively hand you the skin for roughly half the direct price.
Buy Perlica in the Fortnite Item Shop
If you do not play Arknights: Endfield and would rather just grab the outfit, the Item Shop route is straightforward. It costs 1,500 V-Bucks and, so far, only the outfit itself is confirmed, with no bundled Back Bling or Pickaxe announced.
| Cosmetic | Price | Availability window |
|---|---|---|
| Perlica outfit | 1,500 V-Bucks | August 14 – August 21, 2026 |
Note: This is a limited window. Once the outfit leaves the shop on August 21 at 5:00 PM PT, it may not return for some time.
How to confirm you got the skin
Either method lands the outfit in the same place. Open the Fortnite locker on or after August 14 and look for Perlica under your outfits. If you used the Epic Games Store gift and she is missing, the most common reason is a mismatch between the account that made the Arknights: Endfield purchase and the one you play Fortnite with, so double-check that both are the same login before contacting support.
In her home game, Perlica is the chief Supervisor and spokesperson of Endfield Industries and one of the first operators players meet on the planet Talos-II, which makes her a natural pick to headline this crossover. Whether you want her for that lore connection or simply like the anime-styled design, both paths get you the exact same outfit.
