It's a very big launch day for Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, especially for fans who have been waiting for a massive single-player adventure in the series timeline. But you can earn a nice little bonus for a different game by buying it. And that's Fortnite.
Yes, surprisingly there is an unlockable Stormtrooper bonus skin for Fortnite, and not Apex Legends own Respawn. And no, it won't affect your aim, because you can hit your enemies very well.
So how do you get that nice little skin for Epic Games success? Well, there are a few simple steps to follow.
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'll see the Imperial Stormtrooper rarin skin to go.
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 completed your verification, you'll see a confirmation that the game is ready, along with your Stormtrooper skin. (This also applies to all platforms, provided you log into the same Fortnite account with them.)
How long do I have to get the skin?
For those wondering how limited the time supply of this Stormtrooper skin is, we have good news. It is currently valid until November 30, 2020, which means you have more than one year to buy 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, though, that you can't be sneaky about it and ask for a refund on Jedi. If you do, you lose the skin.
Will the skin be available for purchase otherwise?
Finally, let's say you're not particularly willing to buy Jedi: Fallen Order to get the skin, or prefer another format. Can you still get the Stormtrooper costume?
Epic Games makes it clear that the skin will be available “from time to time,” but didn't give a specific framework. If you want it guaranteed, you'll need to purchase Fallen Order.
This suggests potential crossover content between Star Wars and Fortnite in the future, 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.
