Fortnite is once again partnering with pro player Clix, this time introducing a brand-new “Champion Clix” outfit as part of his Icon Series. Inspired by the FNCS, this limited-time skin features Clix in a bold purple suit and will be available in the Item Shop at a later date. However, dedicated players have a chance to unlock it early and for free.
How to Earn the Champion Clix Skin Without Spending V-Bucks
To celebrate Clix’s accomplishments in competitive Fortnite, Epic Games is launching the Duos Reload Clix Icon Cup. This tournament gives players the opportunity to win the Champion Clix skin before it officially releases.
The event will take place on May 3 and will last for 2.5 hours. During this time, duos will compete in the Reload Duos mode, earning points based on eliminations and match placements. The highest-ranking teams in each region will receive the skin as a reward. To participate, make sure your Epic Games account has Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) enabled and that you’re at least level 50 in-game.

Fortnite Duos Reload Clix Icon Cup Scoring Breakdown
Since your only way to get the Fortnite Clix skin for free is by winning the Duos Reload Cup, it’s important to understand the scoring system first. First place awards 60 points, second place gives 53, and third place earns 49, with points decreasing for lower placements. Additionally, each elimination grants 2 points. Below is an image showing the full scoring breakdown:
To maximize your chances of earning the Champion Clix skin, coordinate with your duo partner and find the right balance between aggressive eliminations and steady placements. Climbing the leaderboard requires both strategy and teamwork. If you’re unable to unlock the skin during the tournament, don’t stress it will also be released in the Fortnite Item Shop at a later time. Be sure to set a reminder for May 3 and get ready to prove yourself in the Duos Reload Clix Icon Cup.
That’s everything you need to know to score the exclusive Clix Icon skin in Fortnite. It’s a great opportunity to add a rare cosmetic to your collection while honoring one of the game’s top competitive players. Plus, with Chapter 6 Season 3 just kicking off, there’s no better time to jump in and make your mark.
