The collaboration train in Fortnite just keeps speeding up, and Epic Games has now surprised players with a new wave of Rick and Morty. Wave 3 of the Fortnite Rick and Morty collaboration brings new alternate skins for Rick Sanchez to the Battle Royale island, allowing players who missed out on the original outfit from Chapter 2 Season 7.
Among these new cosmetics is the brand-new Pickle Rick skin, based on the iconic episode where Rick turns himself into a pickle to avoid going to a family therapy session, only to find himself using rat body parts to build an exosuit. As if the addition of this skin wasn’t enough, Epic has announced that players can unlock this beloved version of Rick for free in Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 1. If you are a fan of Pickle Rick and want to earn the new skin for free, here’s everything you need to know.
Fortnite Rick & Morty Pickle Rick Skin: How to Get All Cosmetics for Free
