FORTNITE is getting another movie crossover – this time with the newly released Free Guy.
Starring Ryan Reynolds, the film follow Reynolds’ character Guy, who’s an NPC in an online game that’s about to go offline.
Long story short, Guy becomes self-aware and attempts to rescue the online world.
The Fortnite Guy skin is actually called the Dude and if you think he doesn’t look anything like Ryan Reynolds, you’d be right.
The Epic Games blog explains, “Guy was too busy to arrive in Fortnite,” so instead, the half-naked Dude will be taking his place instead.
Keeping Free Guy spoilers to a minimum, this is another NPC in the movie – but I won’t say anything more than that.
The Dude skin isn’t a free guy; you very much have to pay for him. He lands in the store at 5pm PT / 8pm ET today, August 12.
That’s 1am BST on Saturday August 13 for UK readers.
There is a free emote you can unlock through in-game challenges though. Featuring Reynolds’ lines from the film, the Good Guy Emote will be fully localised in-game.
The Good Guy emote sees your character do a little twirl accompanied by the line “Don’t have a good day, have a great day,” from the movie.
Fortnite Free Guy quests: how to complete all challenges
Fortnite players need to visit ATM locations on the map to kick off each challenge. You’ll receive instructions from Guy on what to do next.
The challenges are fairly self-explanatory:
- Get hit by a moving vehicle
- Take melee damage
- Place three coins round the map
- Talk to any NPC
- Reboot / revive teammates OR interact with a campfire (need 30 wood)
