When does the Fortnite Magneto skin release and how can you unlock them in-game once they do?
Chapter 5 Season 3 is off to a fun start, now a couple of quick hotfixes in. We’ve had a while to play with the new skins, but there’s one big feature that's only just unlocked.
As is tradition, the Battle Pass isn’t everything. We’ve still got bonus styles to come, and maybe more excitingly the Bonus Skin. This season, that’s Magneto. The metal-controlling mutant will be our latest crossover character.
Arriving a little ahead of the rumored Marvel themed Season 4, we’ve got the villain as the bonus skin this time. He’s called Wastelander Magneto, a slightly more ramshackle look for the character to fit this season’s map.
The Fortnite Magneto Skin is now available to be unlocked in-game! What are the quests and how can you get the new character?

All Fortnite Magneto Quests
The Fortnite Magneto skin quests are finally here! Most of them won’t give you too much trouble. Although, there’s a handful which have proved a problem so far. These are all of the quests and rewards:
- Visit Weapon X Lab – Loading Screen
- Collect Magneto Power – Spray
- Travel Distance in the Air with Magneto Power Equipped – Pickaxe
- Hit Vehicles Using Magneto Power – Banner Icon
- Complete all Page 1 Quests – Wastelander Magneto Skin
- Eliminate Opponents with Magneto Power – Emoticon
- Block Hits using the Magneto Power – Glider
- Damage Opponents from One Story Above or Higher – Emote
- Configure Rift beacons – Wrap
- Complete all Page 2 Quests – Classic Magneto Style skin
The trickiest with these so far are those using the Magneto Mythic. That’s largely because there’s only one and it’s always a rush a grab it at the start of the game.
This kind of quest is probably best done once the initial hype is over a bit. Magneto’s mythic won’t be in demand for ever, then you can probably get the quests done fairly easily.
When Does Fortnite Magneto Skin Release?
The Magneto Fortnite skin was released a few weeks into the season. It’s nice to get these drops partway through as they keep things interesting. Even once you’ve grinded through a lot of the Fortnite Battle Pass for C5 S3 there’s more to unlock.
The release date was July 2nd 2024.

In-Game Magneto Content
Along with Magneto as a skin, he's in the game with a weapon. magneto's Gauntlets are a new Mythic item you can purchase from the villain on the map.
The first us elf the Magneto Mythic is to bring up metal and then throw it at players. This is a simple attack. The other, allows you to hover and block all incoming shots.
The secondary uses is going to be pretty annoying to others in-game. It's definitely worth trying to pick this mythic up and trying out the powers against the other C5 S3 weapons at the moment.
How to Unlock Fortnite Wastelander Magneto Skin
The Fortnite Magneto skin won’t be unlocking for everyone though. It’s not one of our free Fortnite skins, unfortunately. The Fortnite Magneto Skin won’t break the bank though.
However, it is available to everyone who’s purchased the C5 S3 Battle Pass. Provided, that you complete some challenges.
Bonus skins get a series of quests, active to those who bought the pass. Finishing off each one should unlock a different item. Getting them all completed on a page unlocks the Magneto Fortnite skin. The second page then completes the other style for the character.
The first page of quests typically goes active when the skin first unlocks. That'll be the opening of June. Often the second page takes longer, but everything's active at once this time.
Players should already be able to get their hands on Magneto in-game. There are already loads of Marvel skins out there, but Magneto will flesh out our X-Men characters.
