Gamers are buzzing about the striking Crimson Desert Kliff Skin appearing in Fortnite, but not everyone knows it can be claimed for free through Epic Games Store’s latest pre-purchase bonus. Here’s exactly how to claim yours before it’s gone.
If you are excited for the release of this ambitious RPG and want to get your hands on this free outfit, here’s a guide on what you need to do.
How to Get Free Crimson Desert Kliff Skin in Fortnite
To get the Crimson Desert Kliff skin for free in Fortnite, players need to pre-purchase Crimson Desert through the Epic Games Store using the same Epic Games account linked to their Fortnite profile. Once the pre-purchase is completed, the Kliff skin will automatically appear in the Fortnite locker when the reward distribution begins. Make sure your Epic account is properly connected and the transaction is confirmed to avoid missing the bonus.
To unlock the Crimson Desert Kliff skin in Fortnite for free, you simply have to pre-purchase Crimson Desert through the Epic Games Store. The offer begins on January 22, 2026, and will be available till March 19, 2026, which is the official release date for Crimson Desert.
Here are the steps you need to follow to get the Crimson Desert Kliff skin in Fortnite:
- Load the Epic Games Store through its website or desktop app.
- Type ‘Crimson Desert’ in the search bar and click on the upcoming title.
- You can also find the offer on the home page since it’s brand new.
- Pre-purchase the game.
Upon doing this, you will receive the Crimson Desert Kliff skin in Fortnite on March 19, 2026, when the game releases. However, the offer will be available even after Crimson Desert fully launches. This means you can purchase the game through the Epic Games Store after it comes out to receive the Kliff skin for free. Just remember to purchase Crimson Desert with the same account you use to play Fortnite.
If you don’t want to buy Crimson Desert for the Kliff skin, don’t worry. The Kliff skin will be available for purchase in the Fortnite Item Shop at a later date, possibly around the time Crimson Desert comes out.
