It's a really big launch day for Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, especially for fans who have been expecting a huge single-player adventure in the series' timeline. But you can earn a nice little bonus for a different game by purchasing it. And this is Fortnite.
Yes, surprisingly, there is an unlockable Stormtrooper bonus skin for Fortnite, and not Respawn's own Apex Legends. And no, it won't affect your aim, because you will be able to hit your enemies very well.
So how do you get that nice little skin for the success of Epic Games? Well, there are a few simple steps you can take.
Epic Games Store holds the key
First, head to the Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order page on the Epic Games Store. This is where you'll see the special offer, highlighted below.
All you need to do is purchase Jedi: Fallen Order from the Epic Games Store page. Then the next time you start Fortnite and log into your account, you will see the Imperial Stormtrooper rarin skin to take away.
And that counts for both versions of Fallen Order. You can purchase the Standard Edition or the Special Deluxe Edition, complete with a digital art book, bonus behind-the-scenes video, and cosmetic skins. Once you've done your verification, you'll see a confirmation that the game is ready, along with your Stormtrooper skin. (This applies to all platforms as well, as long as you sign in to the same Fortnite account with them.)
How long do I have to have to get the skin on?
For those wondering how time-limited this Stormtrooper skin supply is, we've got some good news. It is currently valid until November 30, 2020, which means you have more years to purchase it. But, of course, why would anyone have waited so long?
There is more information on this page. It indicates that the Stormtrooper skin will be in your Fortnite locker once added. Keep in mind, however, that you can't be sneaky about this and ask for a refund on Jedi. If you do, you lose skin.
Will the skin be available for purchase otherwise?
Finally, let's say you're not particularly willing to purchase Jedi: Fallen Order to get the skin, or prefer some other format. Can you still get the Stormtrooper costume?
Epic Games makes it clear that the skin will be available "from time to time", but has not given a specific framework. If you want this to be guaranteed, you will need to purchase Fallen Order.
This suggests potential crossover content between Star Wars and Fortnite going forward, but nothing has been confirmed yet. If you want that Stormtrooper goodness, head here.
Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order is available now for PC, as well as Xbox One and PlayStation 4.
