Metallica brings the metal to Fortnite, capping off Chapter 5 Season 3 with a concert to get the blood pumping and the carnage flowing. With the arrival of Metallica in Fortnite, players can not only add these 4 band members to their lockers, but they can also add variations of them, perfect to use in Fortnite Festival or Battle Royale, or even LEGO Fortnite if players want to run around as mini figures of their favorite band members from Metallica.

Fortnite Battle Royale: Tips and Tricks to Victory

Struggling to get Victory Royale in Fortnite? Here are some essential tips and tricks that might just help players to win a match or more.

There are a few ways to acquire each of these skins, and with the 4 band members appearing twice, Metallica fans are in for a treat when they load into Fortnite. It’s time to light up the tracks and bring forth the rock by looking below at the Metallica skins in Fortnite.

Purchase Fortnite Festival's Season 4 Premium Reward Track

All 4 Metallica members are locked behind the Fortnite Festival Season 4 Pass. In order to unlock these cosmetics, players will need to purchase the Premium Reward Track when they select the Fortnite Festival playlist and head to the tab that says Festival Pass. Once on this screen, players can select the Premium Reward Track and confirm their purchase, to which they need 1,800 V-Bucks. This is a fairly good deal, as whilst players won’t get any V-Bucks from the Festival Pass, they will receive 4 distinct skins from Metallica.

Fortnite Festival Season 4 is active until August 16, 2024, so players will need to get ready to jam it out to unlock Festival Points and earn each of the band members. Luckily for fans of Lars Ulrich, players will acquire him first the moment they purchase the Premium Reward Track. The other members will need to raise their Festival Points, acquired through Fortnite Festival quests and simply by playing on the Main Stage and the new Battle Jam mode.

If players miss out on the Metallica skins, then they should become available in the Item Shop at a later date. However , the date remains unconfirmed, and each skin will most likely be priced separately instead of just 1,800 V-Bucks for all 4.

Purchase The Metallica Bundle In The Item Shop (3,400 V-Bucks)

Whilst the band members can all be acquired through Fortnite Festival’s Season 4 Pass, the more battle-ready versions of Metallica, the Puppet Masters, can be purchased in the Item Shop in a Metallica Bundle for 3,400 V-Bucks, which will save them 3,700 V-Bucks in total if they were to buy all 15 items separately. Even better for Metallica fans, is the Metallica wrap, exclusive only to this Bundle.

Here’s a look at everything the Bundle comes with, alongside an individual price if players were to buy them separately:

Individually, for 1,500 V-Buck, players can head to the Item Shop and purchase their favorite Metallica band member separate from the others. Each Outfit comes with a LEGO minifigure for LEGO Fortnite, as well as a unique Back Bling, and 5 Style options to choose from. These styles are rather unique, as players can give them all skull masks and change the colors of their reactive glow between yellow, blue, and red.
