How to link LEGO Insider and Fortnite accounts for free skins

Linking your LEGO Insider and Fortnite accounts will give you a free Fortnite skin that offers battle royale and LEGO styles. The ability to join the two accounts came with the arrival of Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 1 in Dec. 2023, which featured a dedicated LEGO Fortnite mode. Now you can claim yet another skin, Mr. Dappermint, as of Dec. 11, 2024. This means if you haven’t linked your Lego account to your Epic Games account already, you’ll get two skins: Mr. Dappermint and the Explorer Emilie skin. If you have already linked your Lego Insider and Epic Games accounts prior to the free release of Mr. Dappermint, you don’t have to re-link your account or anything. You should just get the skin once you log in. Here is a step-by-step guide to linking your LEGO Insider and Fortnite accounts.

You can sign up on the official LEGO site here. If you have an account with LEGO already, try logging in with that first, as it’s likely one and the same. - Log into your Epic Games account on the official site in a web browser on your phone / tablet / computer. If you have played Fortnite before, you will already have one of these, and would have logged into upon first playing the game. If you have forgot your login details, then perform a password reset. - Once logged into your Epic Games account, visit the “Apps and Accounts” area, which you can visit directly here. This will show all your connected accounts at a glance, including for the likes of Xbox, PlayStation, and Nintendo. Click “Connect” below the LEGO Account box. - This will then direct you the LEGO site. Provided you are already logged in there, you simply have to select “Allow.” Wait a few moments, and you should be redirected back to the Epic Games “Apps and Accounts” area with your connected account.

Note that you can only select between more randomly generated names, and not a custom one. When will you receive the free Lego skins?

As with many other skins, Explorer Emilie and Mr. Dappermint come with two styles — one for battle royale, and another for LEGO, and will swap between them automatically as you play the respective modes.
