How to get Magneto X-Men skin in Fortnite

Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 3 brings yet another Marvel crossover to the game, as X-Men’s Magneto makes his way to the island. Here’s everything you need to know about to unlock Wastelander Magneto in Fortnite.

The Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 3 update is live, bringing with it a host of new weapons and items to use, as well as a major overhaul to the map. As fans have come to expect, it also introduces more crossover skins – including iconic mutant Magneto from Marvel’s X-Men franchise.

So, here’s how to unlock Wastelander Magneto in Fortnite.

You’ll be able to unlock the Wastelander Magneto skin in Fortnite by completing Battle Pass challenges when they arrive in July. Each new Battle Pass sets one skin aside to be released later in the season and the popular character has been selected for Chapter 5 Season 3.

So, although the rest of the BP offerings, including the T-60 Power Armor from Fallout, went live on May 24, comic fans will have to wait a little longer to earn Magneto. It’s also worth noting that you must purchase the Battle Pass to access the challenges – it won’t be available to those sticking to the free rewards.

The exact challenges and release date haven’t been announced, as Epic Games only teased a rough window of July in the Season 3 blog.

Once the Wastelander Magneto skin arrives in Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 3, you’ll have just over a month to complete the challenges and unlock it, as the Battle Pass expired on August 16 ahead of the launch of Season 4.

Each individual objective will also come with some extra X-Men-themed cosmetics, such as Back Bling, Gliders, and more.

The arrival of Magneto could also be a sign of things to come in Fortnite, as the leaked 2024 roadmap, which has proved accurate so far, revealed that Chapter 5 Season 4 will be another Marvel season. Loki skins also arrived towards the end of Season 2, so the devs are certainly leaning into comic book characters.
