How to get free LEGO skins in Fortnite: Explorer Emilie

Free skins are occasionally available in LEGO Fortnite that look great and save you some cash – and there’s one skin available right now.

Fortnite has become known for its huge amount of collabs and crossovers. So when Epic Games launched the LEGO edition in December 2023 it was obvious some new skins were also arriving with the survival game.

How to unlock Lego Explorer Emilie skin

To unlock the Emilie skin, follow the steps below:

1. Sign up for LEGO Insiders.
2. Tap on your avatar and go to ‘My Profile‘.
3. Go to ‘Settings’ and ‘Edit Account‘.
4. Enter the second option ‘Connections‘.
5. Link the Epic Games account you use to play Fortnite.

For a more detailed breakdown of these steps, we’ve got you covered below:

Sign-up for Lego Insiders 

The first thing you’ll need to do is create an account for Lego Insiders. Once you’re on the website, click on the ‘Join Now’ button on the top right corner of the screen. 

Now you’ll need to choose an avatar and a LEGO nickname – just scroll through the options by clicking on the arrows on the screen until you find a name and look you like.

You can choose an avatar and nickname for your account.

Next, enter an email address in the box. 

Once you’ve done this, you’ll be emailed an Activation Code. Head over to the email, copy the code, and paste it into the box on the website. 

When that’s done you’ll be taken to an Account Details page where you need to enter a:

• Username
• Password
• Your region
• Date of Birth 
• After all this is done, hit the ‘Create Account’ button at the bottom of the page and you’ll be set up!

Navigate to the Connections menu 

Once you’re logged in, click on your account Avatar, and select the ‘My Profile’ option that appears.

From here, click on the Settings option located in the menu just above your Avatar photo. Then press on the ‘Edit Account’ button.

You’ll need to navigate to the Edit Account screen.

Under the next menu, you’ll find the ‘Connections’ option – click on that and you’ll be prompted to link your Epic Games account.

The Connections tab is where you can link accounts.

Link your Epic Games account 

From the Connections tab, click on ‘Link’ beside the Epic Games option.

The Link button will redirect you to the Epic Games website.

Next, you’ll have to reenter your Lego account password, and then be redirected to the Epic Games website. 

Finally, type in your Epic Games email address and password and hit enter. Once the page refreshes it should redirect you back to the Lego Insiders website and your accounts will now be linked. 

Log into LEGO Fortnite 

The Emilie Explorer skin will unlock once you’ve linked accounts and logged into LEGO Fortnite.

Now you just need to launch LEGO Fortnite, and as long as your accounts are linked, you’ll see a pop-up of the skin a few seconds after the game has launched. 

Another free skin that was available for a long time was the LEGO Trailblazer Tai skin. Unfortunately as of October 23, 2024, the True Explorers Quest Pack bundle that you need to download to get the skin is no longer available in the store.

If it returns in the future, we’ll be sure to update you right here.

All LEGO Fortnite skins

The LEGO game mode has been out for less than a year, but it already has well over 1,600 skins available for players to try. 

Even though most of them are just remakes from the main Fortnite Battle Royale, some look incredibly cool in their new blocky formats.
