How to unlock Magneto in Fortnite
Although we don’t have full details on how Magneto will be unlocked Fortnite, it is very likely that it will follow the same pattern as last season’s bonus skins. This means that on July 2, 2024, a series of missions will be added to your mission log. Completing these missions will take you to Magneto’s rewards page. There are 10 rewards in total, with the Wastelander Magneto skin being reward number five. In the past, reward number 10 has been a variation of the outfit, but this time we’ll have to wait and see.
Epic usually details the rewards associated with bonus skins like Magneto closer to their launch date. There will be five rewards to earn for the Magneto skin at launch, with five more to be added a week later. This is how bonus skins have worked for a while now, so hopefully Magneto will follow suit. If anything changes, we will be sure to update this page.
From the looks of it, and based on what’s been shown in this season’s trailers so far, Magneto will appear alongside a new Mythic item. In the trailer above you can see how he uses it to throw metal at enemies. Mark your calendars for July 2 for even more Magneto-themed tie-ins Fortnite.
