If you want to try your hand at getting the new Icon skin for free, or want to simply get it in exchange for V-Bucks, here’s everything you need to know.
How to Claim Sommerset Icon Skin in Fortnite for Free
Players could get the Sommerset skin in Fortnite for free by participating in the Triple Threat Cup or the Triple Threat Mobile Cup on April 15, 2026. Much like previous free Fortnite skin cups, players had to participate and rank high enough to unlock the Sommerset skin in the Triple Threat Cup.
The Triple Threat Cup was a trios tournament, reflecting the trio of streamers featured as free Icon skins in the cup. The mode will take place in the Battle Royale playlist across all platforms, except mobile, as Epic will be organising a special variant for mobile players.
Through Triple Threat Cup yet, players could unlock not just the Sommerset skin, but also other cosmetics like a back bling and pickaxe themed around the streamer.
The mobile variant featured a smaller prize pool, rewarding fewer players in each region, just like how the developers went about the free Fortnite Champion Kor skin cup.

Here are the steps you can follow to purchase the Sommerset skin in the Item Shop:

- In the Item Shop, look for the FNCS section, which should be placed near the top since the Sommerset skin is a new release.
- In the FNCS section, click on the Triple Threat Sommerset skin (1,500 V-Bucks) or the Triple Threat Bundle (2,200 V-Bucks) to get the Sommerset skin.
- Make sure your account has enough V-Bucks stored to complete the purchase.

So, if you want to grow your Fortnite Icon Series collection, make sure to grab the skin before it leaves the Item Shop.
