The Freediver outfit was a free Fortnite skin tied to a partnership between Epic Games and O2. Instead of buying it with V-Bucks, players claimed a code through the O2 Priority app, redeemed it on the Fortnite website, and finished a single quest worth 100,000 XP. The catch was that the offer was built for Virgin Media and O2 customers in the UK, with a fixed claim window and a separate deadline to finish the quest.
Quick answer: Claim the Freediver code in the O2 Priority app using an O2 or Virgin Media number, redeem the code on the Fortnite website to start the Freediver quest, then earn 100,000 XP in one match to add the skin to your locker.
Requirements to unlock the Freediver skin
The only hard requirement was an O2 or Virgin Media phone number to sign in to O2 Priority. You did not need to link your mobile account to your Epic account. Priority simply handed you a code, and that code carried the Freediver quest into the game.
The quest itself could be completed on PC or Android. Because it asked for 100,000 XP, most players finished it in a single match, so no special grind was involved once the code was redeemed.
How to claim the Freediver skin from the UK
How to get the Freediver skin from outside the UK
Players outside the UK could still reach the offer, but it took two extra pieces. You needed a VPN set to a UK location to load the Priority page, plus a UK phone number to sign in. Services such as MoreMins let you buy a temporary number for around $0.99, which is enough to register and pass the Priority sign-in.
Once you had a working UK number, the rest of the flow matched the steps above. Register the account, claim the code, and redeem it in Fortnite. Some players also received the code directly from friends or family in the UK who did not plan to use it, which skipped the VPN route entirely.
How to confirm the skin unlocked
The quest tracked your XP toward the 100,000 target. When you crossed that threshold, the quest marked as complete and the Freediver outfit dropped into your locker, where you could equip it like any other skin.
If the skin never appeared, the usual cause was a code that was claimed but not redeemed on the Fortnite side, or a quest that was started but never pushed past 100,000 XP. Both steps had to be finished for the outfit to register.
Freediver claim window and deadlines
| Action | Deadline |
|---|---|
| Claim the offer in O2 Priority | December 31, 2025 |
| Finish the quest after starting it | February 15, 2026 |
| XP needed to complete the quest | 100,000 XP |
| Supported platforms for the quest | PC and Android |
Both of those dates have now passed, so the Freediver promotion is no longer claimable. The pattern it followed is worth remembering, though. Epic has run similar limited outfits through mobile carriers, redeemed by code and locked behind a short XP quest, so the same claim-and-complete routine tends to carry over to future carrier giveaways.
