Fortnite just can’t stop collaborating, and their latest one seems Epic returning to an old friend, Samsung, with the chance for players to grab the Galaxy Grappler skin before it launches in the Item Shop for free.

Players will have to compete in the Galaxy Cup 2.0, the second Galaxy Cup collaboration between Epic and Samsung, for the chance to claim the Galaxy Grappler skin, itself another spin on the Galaxy style that’s a favourite among fans.

Here’s everything you need to know about the Galaxy Grappler skin in Fortnite, as well as the rules and info with the Galaxy Cup 2.0.

 

When Does The Galaxy Cup 2.0 Take Place?

The Galaxy Cup 2.0 is a Solos tournament for Android devices only that will take place on August 29th, 2021 at different times per region.

However, it will take the form of an Arsenal LTM rather than the traditional tournament format. In Arsenal, players must make their way through an assortment of guns, swapping through them all with each elimination until they are left with either a really weak weapon or their pickaxe.

Be sure that you log in on the day itself to check the times in your region. Once you know, make sure you are logged in and ready to take part in the Galaxy Cup 2.0 at least fifteen minutes before it officially begins.

 

How Do I Unlock the Galaxy Grappler Skin For Free?

As is the case with all of these competitive “skin cups”, you have to place very high in the overall rankings to get Galaxy Grappler, back bling, and Vortextual Wrap. You have three hours and 25 matches to get as high a score as you can in the Arsenal LTM, racing to eliminate everyone with tonnes of different guns.
