How to get the Solid Snake skin in Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 1

Solid Snake, star of the Metal Gear series and haver of one controversially nerfed ass, is a special battle pass skin in Fortnite’s Chapter 5 Season 1.

This skin is exclusive to the battle pass, added as part of Fortnite’s mid-season update for Chapter 5 Season 1. Like Indiana Jones, Geralt of Rivia, and Wolverine of Alberta, you’ll need to complete a number of challenges to unlock Solid Snake in Fortnite.

Here’s how to unlock the Solid Snake skin in Fortnite, plus a list of Solid Snake’s cosmetics and challenges for the Chapter 5 Season 1 battle pass.

How to get Solid Snake in Fortnite

To get Solid Snake in Fortnite, you must first buy the Chapter 5 Season 1 battle pass. The Solid Snake skin is available as of Tuesday, Jan. 23, but you’ll need to complete four challenges from Snake’s first page of quests to get the skin. (You can earn extra cosmetics for it by completing additional challenges.)

The Solid Snake skin is available until Chapter 5 Season 1 ends on March 8 at 2:00 a.m. ET. Once Chapter 5 Season 2 arrives, your chance to get this skin is over.
