How to Get Slender Man Skin in Fortnite for Free

Slender Man is coming to Fortnite, and here is your chance to get the collab skin for free. This terrifying entity has finally made his way to the island, and soon you can cosplay as him, striking fear into the hearts of opponents. If we’ve piqued your interest and you want the cosmetic, here’s how to get the Slender Man skin in Fortnite for free.

You can get the Slender Man skin for free in Fortnite by securing a high enough rank in the Slender Map Cup, scheduled for October 20, 2026. The cup features a single mode, which is “Reload,” split across different devices: Fortnite Mobile and Fortnite Zero Build and Battle Royale, which have “Solos” and “Duos” formats, respectively.

With there being plenty of time left for the Slender Cup in Fortnite to start, you should consider completing as many Fortnitemares 2026 Quests as you can. There are rewards to win and a lot of XP to be earned. That said, here’s a breakdown of the time and duration of matches in each mode:

Mode	Time and Duration	Number of Matches
Battle Royale/Zero Build (Reload)	1 PM ET to 4 PM ET	12
Mobile (Reload)	12 PM ET to 1:15 PM ET	8

Based on the mode you’re playing and the region you’re in, the ranked requirement to get the Slender Man skin in Fortnite for free varies. This is similar to the last Cup, which let players get the Lady Liberty skin in Fortnite before it was released in the Item Shop. Here’s a breakdown of how high you need to rank to get the prize:

Region	Rank Required for Battle Royale | Zero Build	Rank Required for Reload
OCE	Top 50	Top 30
Asia	Top 50	Top 30
ME	Top 50	Top 30
EU	Top 500	Top 200
BR	Top 100	Top 30
NAC	Top 350	Top 150
NAW	Top 100	Top 30

If you manage to secure the required rank, you get the Slender Man skin and back bling in Fortnite for free. They make a fine addition to your Fortnitemares 2026 cosmetic collection. Lastly, if you manage to score a few points, you are also eligible to get a spray as a consolation prize if nothing else. Here is a list of all rewards you can get by participating in the Slender Man Cup in Fortnite:

• Slender Man (Outfit)
• Tentacles Of The Slender Man (Back Bling)
• The Slender Man Was Here (Spray): 5 Points for Reload Mobile and 8 Points for Reload Battle Royale and Zero Build.

That’s everything you need to know about the Slender Man Cup and how to get the skin for free in Fortnite. Keep in mind that the Fortnite loot pool for Reload is very different than regular Battle Royale or Zero Build. We suggest you play a few matches to familiarize yourself with it.
