The new Fortnite 8.30 update is being rolled out across all systems, bringing all new challenges and a whole host of cosmetic items to the battle royale. The most impressive of these new cosmetics is the Fortnite Inferno pack, which includes items that not only set you on fire, but also wraps your character in a dapper red suit skin. This new leaked pack will likely become a popular addition to the battle royale arena, and looks to be complete with a matching inferno pickaxe, the absolute height of Fortnite fashion. Read on to find out how to unlock Inferno skin.
Fortnite Inferno Skin | How to unlock Inferno skin
The new skins were revealed in a recent leak by the Twitter account FortniteBR, who reported the Fortnite Inferno pack files found in the update, along with the matching set of a pickaxe and wrap. It’s not yet clear how rare the Fortnite Inferno skin is, but this will affect how difficult it is to unlock, with the rarest items costing the most in the item shop. The pack reportedly also includes a set of challenges associated with these items, to potentially unlock further cosmetic items, or extra V-Bucks.
To unlock the Fortnite Inferno pack, you only need to save up enough V-Bucks to buy the items from the shop, but it seems like related items may be accessed by completing the associated challenges. Of course, this leaked pack isn’t the only object of interest in the new 8.30 update, which is set to introduce the limited time Buccaneer’s Bounty event, offering a new set of treasures to unlock when the update launches. Likewise, this v8.30 update will also introduce the new Fortnite respawning system similar to Apex Legends, allowing the battle royale players to revive their fallen teammates using the Reboot vans.
Fortnite Inferno Challenge guide
Now that the Fortnite Inferno pack is available to purchase, players can now buy the challenge pack and begin grinding out the objectives. Upon making the initial purchase, players will immediately unlock the Inferno skin, bestowing a red suit and flaming head upon those who make the purchase.
In order to then progress and unlock the pickaxe and wrap, players need to complete a number of Daily Challenges. There are six stages to the Inferno Pack challenge, all of which require the completion of Daily Challenges.
Here are the objectives you’ll need to complete, as well as their respective rewards:
- Complete 1 Daily Challenge – 100 V-Bucks
- Complete 3 Daily Challenges – 200 V-Bucks
- Complete 5 Daily Challenges – 300 V-Bucks
- Complete 7 Daily Challenges – 400 V-Bucks
- Complete 10 Daily Challenges – Pickaxe
- Complete 14 Daily Challenges – Wrap
If you’ve managed to play Fortnite without knowing what Daily Challenges are, or perhaps you’re new to the game and just looking to dive in with a fancy-looking skin, then you simply have to look to the left on the main lobby menu. There you’ll see the Daily Challenges that you can complete. As their name suggests, these challenges refresh each day, allowing you to keep on grinding towards that final Wrap unlock.
Once all of the Fortnite Inferno pack challenges have been completed, you’ll have the full skin, pickaxe, and wrap combo, completing the Inferno look. In addition to this fire skin, you’ll also have accumulated 1,000 V-Bucks, which can then be spent on more cosmetic unlocks, Battle Pass tiers, or the presumably upcoming Season 9 Battle Pass.
Is the Fortnite Inferno Challenge Pack worth it?
At $19.99, the Fortnite Inferno Challenge Pack is a significant investment. However, when you consider the 1,000 free V-Bucks you accumulate while completing the six different challenges, it could be seen as worth it.
1,000 V-Bucks would normally cost players around $10, meaning that the Inferno skin itself, along with the pickaxe and wrap, can therefore be valued at $9.99. That seems okay for a cool-looking skin, pickaxe, and wrap, when compared to other skins on the game store.
The 1,000 V-Bucks that are acquired through the Inferno Challenge Pack can also be used towards the (not yet confirmed, but expected) Season 9 Battle Pass, which should cost 950 V-Bucks to purchase. Players who buy the Inferno Challenge Pack now would then have something to grind towards while waiting for Season 9, and can earn the V-Bucks needed to then buy the new Battle Pass.

Rarest Fortnite Skins

10 of Fortnite's Rarest Skins
Whether you're dropping into Fatal Fields or Greasy Grove, you want to look your best. Fortnite has countless skins, but there are those select few that prove that you put the work in. Whether you were just an early adopter or racked up the kills, here are a look at some of the rarest Fortnite skins around. -
Dire
Howl at the moon as Dire, the Werewolf Ninja Hero popping straight out of Save the World. It was the Tier 100 reward of the Season 6 battle pass, but that only got you his human form. To get him all wolfed out, you needed to complete a set of six challenges during the season. -
Galaxy
Would you purchase a cell phone just to get your hands on a Fortnite skin? Some people just may have done that to get Galaxy, the skin only available to owners of Samsung Galaxy phones and tablets during the Android beta period. He's shiny, but not that shiny. -
Giddy Up
Show your love for Fortnite's loot llamas by riding an inflatable one into battle. This jokey costume was available at Tier 23 of the Season 6 Battle Pass and comes with a custom emote. The female version of this skin, Yee-Haw!, is purchasable at the item store. -
Merry Marauder
Merry Marauder is an angry looking gingerbread man who released onto the item shop in December of 2017. He's a holiday-oriented fellow, so he only pops up when Santa is done checking his list twice. Purchasing him will also net you the Mini Marauder back bling, although that doesn't seem to make this ginger man any happier. -
Nightshade
Once you reached Tier 86 of the Season 6 Battle Pass, you received Nightshade. A female version of Tomatohead, she and her Night Cloak back bling are all part of the Pizza Pit theme; the perfect complement when you're fighting against the Burger menace. -
Recon Expert
Decidedly less flashy than other skins on this list, Recon Expect is rare solely due to its release window. It was one of the first skins to hit the shop, before the influx of players that made Fortnite the phenomenon that it is today. While it may rotate back onto the store someday, it's a rare find. -
Renegade Raider
Similar to Recon Expert, Renegade Rider only showed up very early in Fortnite's lifespan. Unlike Recon Expert, that apocalyptic melee weapon makes her fit in a bit more with the skull soldiers and vampires we're all used to seeing. Keep a lookout to see if this Raider will ever climb out of the bunker again. -
Royale Bomber
The Royale Bomber is a PlayStation exclusive, but that's not all. You only got this sunglass toting agent if you purchased specific PlayStation hardware. A controller in the U.S. and a console bundle in the European region. It's quite a hassle to look this good. -
The Reaper
Baba Yaga. The Boogeyman. The Reaper. All of these names apply to John Wick and also this somehow completely unrelated skin in Fortnite Awarded at the end of the Season 3 Battle Pass. Just don't tell anyone in Hollywood, I don't think they've noticed yet. -
Trog
Trog is love. Trog is life. Trog is the reward for Tier 71 of the Season 7 Battle Pass. We may never know where Trog is looking thanks to his famous cross-eyes, but we know that he loves all his children equally and also he is going to shoot some fools with a shotgun. Trog.
