How to unlock two free Lego Fortnite skins: Explorer Emilie and Trailblazer Tai

With the collaboration of Lego and Fortnite resulting in a new hit experience, it only makes sense that some new outfits would be added as well. Two special Lego skins are up for grabs during the launch of Lego Fortnite; the Explorer Emilie and Trailblazer Tai outfits, but each have different requirements and methods to unlock them. While they are both free right now, they may not be available forever, and Trailblazer Tai will take some work. Make sure you get both in your locker before they vanish!

Explorer Emile is the easiest of the two skins to get. To do so, you will first need to make sure you have a Lego Group account to link to your existing Epic Games account. To start the process, go to your Apps and Accounts screen on your Epic Games account.

Getting Trailblazer Tai will take a little more effort, and it will only be available for a limited time. The first step is to download the True Explorers pack from the item shop, which is currently available for free, however, this won’t give you the skin. Once you have the pack, you need to go into a Lego Fortnite world and look at your quests. You will now see a Trailblazer Tai section with a series of four quests you need to complete. They are:

  • Invite an NPC to live in any village in a Survival World
  • Craft a Shortsword in a Survival World
  • Build a Spinning Wheel in a Survival World
  • Hit and deal damage with a Recurve Crossbow in a Survival World (three times).
