The only free way to get the Lady Liberty Purge skin in Fortnite is to finish inside your region’s cutoff in the Lady Liberty Cup, a solo tournament on Saturday, October 17, 2026, during Fortnitemares. Do that and the Statue of Liberty-masked killer from The Purge: Election Year lands in your locker with her Purge Drone Back Bling β no V-Bucks needed.
Miss it and she hits the Item Shop that evening for 1,500 V-Bucks. Below I’ve listed every region’s rank requirement, the scoring system, and the tips I’d use to hit the cutoff.
| Quick Facts | Details |
|---|---|
| Free method | Lady Liberty Cup (solo tournament) |
| Date | October 17, 2026 β one 3-hour window per region |
| Modes | Battle Royale + Zero Build (separate leaderboards) |
| Free rewards | Lady Liberty Outfit, Purge Drone Back Bling, Purge Mask emote |
| Paid fallback | 1,500 V-Bucks solo / 2,500 V-Bucks Purge Bundle |
Lady Liberty is one of the headline horror collabs of Fortnitemares 2026, based on the Statue of Liberty-masked Purger from The Purge: Election Year. It’s the first official The Purge crossover in Fortnite, and the outfit ships with alternate Splatter styles plus the Purge Drone Back Bling. It arrives alongside this year’s other free Fortnitemares reward, the Jack-a-Nape skin, still claimable through Nitemare quests until October 1.
| Region | Finish Top |
|---|---|
| Europe | 1,000 |
| NA Central | 700 |
| NA West | 200 |
| Brazil | 200 |
| Oceania | 100 |
| Asia | 100 |
| Middle East | 100 |
Europe and NA Central have the friendliest cutoffs; Oceania, Asia, and the Middle East reward only the top 100, so warm up in Ranked first.
The skin hits the Item Shop the same night around 8 PM ET. The outfit costs 1,500 V-Bucks alone, or 2,500 V-Bucks in the Purge Bundle, which adds the Purge Drone Back Bling (500), Liberty’s Purge Torch pickaxe, Electrified Flex emote (500), and Purge Counter wrap. Expect at least a week in rotation. One warning: “free skin code” videos are circulating, but no redemption code exists for Lady Liberty. Unlike Roblox games such as Chop a Forest, Fortnite doesn’t give outfits via codes; creator codes only support streamers.
