Lego Fortnite is offering another free skin for early adopters of the new mode, but it'll take a bit of work to unlock. Here's how you can pick up the Trailblazer Tai skin.

Lego Fortnite has been a massive success, attracting millions of player to pick up the mode since it launched last week – even bringing in higher player counts than Fortnite itself. The new mode borrows generously from Minecraft to give Fortnite its own survival crafting adventure mode, with the added bonus of bringing in a massive collab with Lego alongside it. This marks one of the major new additions for Fortnite as it transforms into a platform instead of being just the core game, with Fortnite Festival and Rocket Racing also joining the game last week.

One of the major parts of the Lego Fortnite mode is how over 1,000 pre-existing Fortnite outfits have been given Lego Fortnite skins – which transform them into Minifigs – for use in the mode, meaning all those freaky little guys like Peely or Beef Boss have their own Lego Fortnite skin variants. To celebrate these new Lego Fortnite skins, Epic Games gave out the Explorer Emilie skin free of charge last week for those who linked their Fortnite and Lego VIP accounts, but it's not finished there.

Another free Lego Fortnite Skin is available to players, it's called Trailblazer Tai and is available through the Fortnite Item Shop. However, it isn't as simple as linking your Fortnite and Lego accounts this time, you'll need to work to get this new skin for free.

Lego Fortnite Skin: how to unlock the Trailblazer Tai skin

First things first, you'll need to head over to the Fortnite Item Shop, scroll all the way down to the bottom until you find the True Explorers Quest Pack. You'll want to click on it and 'Purchase' it (it's free, don't worry, you just have to get it through whichever platform storefront you use).

Once you've 'purchased' the pack, select Lego Fortnite from the game list, and you'll then be able to see the Trailblazer Tai Quests in your Quests tab. Completing all four of these will grant you the free Lego Fortnite Skin – Trailblazer Tai.

  • Stage 1 of 4 – Invite an NPC to live in any village in a Survival World
  • Stage 2 of 4 – Craft a Shortsword in a Survival World
  • Stage 3 of 4 – Build a Spinning Wheel in a Survival World
  • Stage 4 of 4 – Hit and Deal Damage with a Recurve Crossbow in a Survival World three times

Even though you have to work for it, it's not hard at all to unlock this free Lego Fortnite skin. You'll want to follow the Cuddle Team Leader's instructions within this mode and follow the tutorial messages which should unlock all of these in no time. Just keep in mind you need to be in Survival Mode to unlock these, not Creative.

To Invite an NPC you'll just want to keep building up your village until a new character turns up, once they're around, make sure there's a bed available and chat with them enough to invite them to stay in your village. For the Shortsword, you'll eventually get the option to craft it as you build your village up, the same goes for the Spinning Wheel. Once you can craft the Recurve Crossbow you'll just need to hit enemies with it three times, we recommend the wolves as they're the biggest target.

Once all of that's over with you should have Trailblazer Tai in your locker. You'll get the Lego Fortnite Skin version as well as a regular skin of the character upon completion.
