The foot soldier of the First Order is available for free, so long as you have a Disney account.

Epic Games

Fortnite is once again brewing up crossovers with a galaxy from far, far away -- and luckily for you, that means there are free skins up for grabs. The First Order Stormtrooper skin is available for free right now when you connect your Epic Games and MyDisney accounts.

If a stormtrooper skin from the Star Wars sequel trilogy era isn't quite your style, there are other non-Star Wars skins that you can earn for free, whether you're completing tasks in-game or redeeming promotional offers. Two more free skins are unlocked by linking your Epic Games and Lego accounts.

Other skins are available through quests -- in-game tasks that unlock new items across the different Fortnite modes. The Trailblazer Tai skin is unlocked for free through Lego Fortnite quests, while the limited-time Vanguard Zadie skin is available through an account-level quest.

Here are all of the current free Fortnite skins and how to unlock them.

First Order Stormtrooper

Unlocking the First Order Stormtrooper skin requires you to have a MyDisney account, used to log into Disney's empire of streaming services like Disney Plus and Hulu, to which you'll need to connect your Epic Games account in order to earn this skin. You don't need a paid subscription to Disney Plus or any other service to claim this skin -- any free MyDisney account can be connected in order to claim the First Order Stormtrooper skin.

In order to do so, navigate to the Apps and Accounts page of your Epic Games account and click "connect" on the MyDisney option. This will take you to the MyDisney webpage to complete the process and bind the accounts. You will have the First Order Stormtrooper skin upon your next Fortnite login.

By watching the first two episodes of Star Wars: Tales of the Underworld on a special Fortnite island (the code is 2124-6713-8076) you can also earn a free Asajj Ventress loading screen.

Mr. Dappermint

Unlocking the Mr. Dappermint and Explorer Emilie skins requires you to have a Lego account, as you need to connect one to your Epic Games account in order to earn these skins. In order to do so, navigate to the Apps and Accounts page of your Epic Games account and click "connect" on the Lego option. This will take you to the Lego webpage to complete the process and bind the accounts. You will unlock the Mr. Dappermint skin upon your next Fortnite login.

Explorer Emilie

The Explorer Emilie skin is unlocked the same way as the Mr. Dappermint skin -- you need to link your Lego account to your Epic Games account. Once you've connected the accounts, you'll have the Explorer Emilie skin and the Mr. Dappermint skin waiting for you upon your next Fortnite login.

The Trailblazer Tai bundle is themed around Lego Fortnite, but it has a skin that you can use in the other modes as well.

Epic Games

Trailblazer Tai

In order to start Trailblazer Tai's quest, players must check the Lego Fortnite store. A free quest will be available at the bottom of the store -- claiming this quest allows players to complete challenges to unlock the Trailblazer Tai skin. There is no time limit to complete Trailblazer Tai's Lego Fortnite quest.

While anyone can earn the Vanguard Zadie skin, the masked variant is a reward for Fortnite ranked play.

Vanguard Zadie

Available as part of a limited-time quest, players can earn the Vanguard Zadie skin by earning 50 Fortnite account levels by June 7. Account levels earned prior to the launch of this quest do not count toward unlocking the Vanguard Zadie skin. The Vanguard Zadie quest also rewards players with a new pickaxe and back bling.
