Before Chapter 5 Season 1 ended, Fortnite added the Odyssey NPC to the map to tease the next season. Leaks suggested that this character would eventually join the roster of skins in the game, and some players were curious to learn more about Odyssey as a cosmetic item in Fortnite.
Fortnite: Chapter 5 Season 2 Olympian Boss Locations
Players can find 4 Olympian Bosses in Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 2, and challenging them all in their specific POIs will grant powerful loot.
Not long after Chapter 5 Season 2 launched, the Odyssey skin became available at last. This guide will tell players how they can get their hands on the Odyssey cosmetic skin in Fortnite and how they can get more styles for it.
How to Get the Odyssey Skin
Before Odyssey was released, dataminers believed that the skin would be available for free and that players would be able to claim it by completing a set of Ranked Quests. However, this was not the case. To obtain Odyssey in Fortnite, players have to purchase it in the Item Shop for a total of 1,500 V-Bucks.
Odyssey is part of the Ageless Odysset set, and fans who would like to own the complete set will have to acquire the Blade of Ages harvesting tool, which costs 800 V-Bucks.
Even though leakers didn't get it right when it came to Odyssey being available through Ranked Quests, she is still connected to the user's rank, and that is what sets her apart from other skins in the game. The color of the metal on Odyssey's armor will change according to the player's rank in Ranked Battle Royale modes.
How to Change Odyssey Styles
Even though Odyssey's armor can change color, the skin only has one selectable style. Fans who purchase Odyssey in Fortnite can choose whether she has her helmet on or off.
To change Odyssey's armor color in Fortnite, gamers have to reach a different rank in Ranked Mode. However, this won't unlock any selectable styles. Odyssey is a reactive skin, so the armor's color will always match the player's rank; there is no way to choose the color that you prefer before entering a match.
There are eight ranks in Fortnite Ranked Mode:
- Bronze
- Silver
- Gold
- Platinum
- Diamond
- Elite
- Champion
- Unreal
Odyssey will change according to the player's placement at the time of the match. It's the perfect cosmetic for gamers to use to show off their ranking.
