Fortnite has a huge amount of in-game items that players can get from the item shop. Earlier this month, players were introduced to the Cammy and Guile skins as well as the Gamora skin. And now, another skin is making its debut in Fortnite, and this time, the skin belongs to the Icon Series. The skin in question is the J Balvin skin, and players of the game can’t wait to get their hands on the awesome skin. The best part is that there’s a way to unlock the skin for free.

The J Balvin Cup is a duos tournament. This means that if players want to participate, they will need to partner up with a friend. Each team will get to play only 10 matches. And there’s also a three-hour window to take into account. The teams that earn the most points in each of the regions in the game and acquire themselves a top spot on the leaderboard will get the J Balvin Outfit as well as the Back Bling/Pickaxe. As of right now, participating in this tournament and doing really well is the only way to obtain the skin for free.

Even though doing well in the J Balvin Cup would get you the skin early and for free doesn’t mean there’s no other way to get it. Players will be able to get the skin from the item store as well when the skin finally makes its way to the store.

The new skin is expected to become popular quickly when it comes to Fortnite, and players should try to get it as early as possible.
