Solid Snake has been sitting there in the Fortnite battle pass for so long that I’d started to think he would never actually come to the game.
Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 1 has brought a fair share of new content with it: a stealth camo device, cardboard boxes to hide in, and an anvil rocket launcher. All these items being added to the game can only mean one thing — Solid Snake is in, baby. If you’re a fan of the Metal Gear franchise, then you’ve been waiting like a maniac for Solid Snake to come to Fortnite. Now that he’s available, you can unlock and keep him in your locker forever and ever. He comes with his own loading screen, alert emote, and characteristic knife. In this guide, I’ll show you how to unlock Solid Snake skin in Fortnite.
