Want to unlock the Gamora skin in Fortnite? Gamora, the adopted daughter of genocidal warlord Thanos, is making her debut in the latest season of Fortnite. Judging by a recent tweet from the official Fortnite account, it looks like Doctor Slone has sent out a distress signal calling for help. Gamora is no stranger to alien invasions – her home planet was ravaged by Thanos and the Chitauri as they eliminated half of the population.
While you can wait for Gamora and Star-Lord to join the item shop on August 14, there’s a way to unlock Gamora for free. Epic is hosting the Gamora Cup on August 11, a tournament that pits the best duo teams against each other. The teams that perform the best in each region will receive the Gamora skin for free, in addition to her cloak back bling.
Don’t worry if you aren’t the best Fortnite players around, you only need to earn eight points to instantly unlock the Daughter of Thanos spray. Those of you that manage to unlock Gamora early have the opportunity to wreck your opponents using an exclusive skin for the next three days.
