How to Get Unvaulted Fortnite Battle Pass Skins

In August 2024, Epic Games announced that it would be shifting its policy on exclusivity moving forward, allowing old Fortnite Battle Pass skins and items to make a return to the game in the Fortnite Item Shop. Now, Epic has released Unvaulted Fortnite Battle Pass skins, bringing outfits from the Chapter 5 Season 4 Battle Pass to the Item Shop. If you want to get Battle Pass items you missed out on, here’s everything you need to know.

Unfortunately, Epic Games has not included any of the Super Styles for the Unvaulted Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 4 Battle Pass skins. This means that the Super Styles and some bonus rewards styles will remain exclusive to original Battle Pass owners.

The remaining skins from the Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 4 Battle Pass, including Emma Frost, Shuri, and Doom, are expected to return later this season, too.

Can You Get Unvaulted Fortnite Battle Pass Skins?

Yes, you can get certain Unvaulted Fortnite Battle Pass skins, as Epic Games has done away with Battle Pass exclusivity. This means that future skins, emotes, pickaxes, and every other cosmetic featured in a Battle Pass are no longer considered one-time-only rewards. However, there is a catch, as this only applies to Battle Passes from Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 4 onwards.

When Will Fortnite Unvaulted Battle Pass Return?

Eligible Unvaulted Fortnite Battle Passes can return 18 months after their expiration date, as this is a mandatory vault period established by Epic Games. Since this policy was first introduced in late 2024, we are now getting close to the window where the first non-exclusive items are eligible for a comeback. For example, items from the Fortnite Absolute Doom Battle Pass, which ended in November 2024, are now eligible to appear in the Item Shop starting in May 2026.

Remember that not every item from a Battle Pass is guaranteed to return, as the developers reserve the right to keep some cosmetics exclusive. Additionally, if Epic decides to keep certain items as “never to return”, they will notify players accordingly.

All Returning Unvaulted Fortnite Battle Passes and Their Release Dates

While the return of these Battle Passes is a major win for all Fortnite players, it is important to remember that not all Passes are eligible to return, and the change is not retroactive. Here is a list of all of the eligible Unvaulted Fortnite Battle Passes and their earliest release dates:

Battle Pass	Season	Item Shop Return Date
Absolute Doom	Chapter 5 Season 4	May 2026
Chapter 2 Remix	Remix Season	June 2026
鬼 HUNTERS	Chapter 6 Season 1	August 2026
Lawless	Chapter 6 Season 2	November 2026
Galactic Battle	Chapter 6 Mini Season 1	December 2026
Super	Chapter 6 Season 3	February 2027
Shock ‘N Awesome	Chapter 6 Season 4	May 2027
The Simpsons	Chapter 6 Mini Season 2	May 2027
Pacific Break	Chapter 7 Season 1	September 2027
Showdown	Chapter 7 Season 2	December 2027

Any Battle Pass released before Chapter 5 Season 4 (Chapter 1 Season 1 to Chapter 5 Season 3) is still considered exclusive. These Passes were sold under the premise that the items would never return, and the developers intend to keep that promise. However, any season that comes out now, including the new Fortnite season, Chapter 7 Season 3, will have Battle Pass items that will be eligible for return after 18 months.
