After several rumors and leaks, Vanguard Zadie Skin has finally arrived in Fortnite as of the April 15, 2025 latest update.
The best part about this skin is that it is absolutely free for the players. You can also get free Pickaxe, Back Bling, and Loading Screen as part of this promotion.
Here’s your guide on how you can claim this skin and other things for free in the game.
How to unlock Vanguard Zadie Skin for free?
First, you need to earn 50 Account Levels between April 15 and June 7, 2025, at 9:00 AM ET.
This requires leveling up 50 times from your current account level. For example, if you’re level 50 in Chapter 6 Season 2, you’ll need to reach level 100.
This will require a lot of grinding in the game if you want to earn this skin for free.
To begin the process, log into Fortnite before May 6, 2025, at 9:00 a.m. ET to unlock the Vanguard Zadie quests.
You may follow your progress in the Quests tab of the “Vanguard Zadie” questline, which is available from the main lobby or during a match.
Quest offers three rewards based on your leveling progress in the game:
- Zadie’s Blade Pickaxe: Earn 15 Account Levels.
- Zadie’s Blade Back Bling: Earn 30 Account Levels.
- Vanguard Zadie Outfit: Earn 50 Account Levels.
This skin also includes the emblem, which will reflect your highest rank across modes like Battle Royale, Zero Build, Reload, OG, Rocket Racing, and Ballistic.

Leveling up to 50 levels might be difficult and sound exhausting. Here are some tips that might help you get Vanguard Zadie Skin by leveling:
- Play regularly and complete your daily & weekly quests.
