Fortnite is currently being dominated by the Star Wars: Galactic Battle event, including an interactive Darth Vader with an AI voice and even Darth Jar Jar. But outside of Star Wars, Fortnite is introducing a new character, Iridia Vayne, and the game is giving players a chance to win her skin for free. But you’ll have to move quickly to catch this giveaway.
Starting on May 23, Fortnite players are invited to put a team together for Celestial Strike Quest, a new Party Up that will be releasing new quests daily until May 31. To unlock Iridia Vayne, teams will have to complete nine quests that alternate between earning XP in creator-made experiences and experiences that were created by Epic Games.
Once the complete lineup of Celestial Strike Quest has been released, players will only have until June 7 at 11:30 AM PT / 2:30 PM ET to complete the event and get the Iridia Vayne skin. There are also other items that can be earned along the way, as detailed below.
- Complete 1 Party Up – Celestial Strike Quest: “Alien Boy” Jam Track by Oliver Tree
- Complete 2 Party Up – Celestial Strike Quests: Victory Plume Spray
- Complete 3 Party Up – Celestial Strike Quests: Opaline Slashers Pickaxe
- Complete 4 Party Up – Celestial Strike Quests: Confident Iridia Spray
- Complete 5 Party Up – Celestial Strike Quests: Peacock’s Dream Wrap
- Complete 6 Party Up – Celestial Strike Quests: Opaline Scabbard Back Bling
- Complete 7 Party Up – Celestial Strike Quests: High Five! Emoticon
- Complete 8 Party Up – Celestial Strike Quests: Origami Battalion Emote
- Complete 9 Party Up – Celestial Strike Quests: Iridia Vayne Outfit
Given Fortnite’s history of bringing free skins back as paid items down the line, it’s likely that Iridia Vayne’s skin will also become available in the Fortnite shop in the near future. If you don’t mind spending money on it, you can always wait. Or you can play with a few friends and make it your mission to unlock every reward being offered in this quest.
In other Fortnite news, the AI Darth Vader drew an unfair-labor-practice complaint from SAG-AFTRA, the guild that represents actors in Hollywood. Regardless, players have been having fun trying to get Vader to repeat profanities. Additionally, Fortnite is finally back on iOS after Epic Games’ protracted legal fight with Apple.
