Chloe Kim is a world renowned half pipe snowboarder and she is making her way into Fortnite.
Yes, we know it’s March and in some places, it’s already 20 degrees outside and people are bringing out their grills to have BBQs at the lake. But not in Fortnite. No, Fortnite has other plans, because we’re headed to snowy Penguin Peak to enjoy some time on the slopes. Spring snowboarding is the best after all.
So, while you can’t build anymore and the existence of Tilted Towers is still in limbo, we’ve got some other fun stuff to distract us from all that and that is a whole new skin as part of Fortnite’s icon series. It's none other than two time Olympic gold medalist, Chloe Kim!
Chloe Kim Joins Fortnite Icon Series
Chloe Kim is an American snowboard sensation. In 2018, she won her first Olympic gold medal in the snowboard half pipe and managed to follow up her success in 2022 again as well. If that doesn’t sound like an icon, then I don’t know what else we have to tell you.
Now, if you’re not hyped already just to have such an insanely talented athlete in Fortnite, then get this, the Chloe Kim outfit is going to have four alternative styles. You won’t have to run around in the same old snowsuit, but you can adjust it to your mood.
These are the four styles you can get for her:
- Back to Back: Black snowsuit adorned with a gold dragon — inspired by her back-to-back gold medal victories.
- Pink Poppies: Pink and blue snowsuit with a change in hair color to match.
- Icy Infusion: Reactive! Start out looking like the Pink Poppies Style each match, then as you get more eliminations, become as icy as the Deep Freeze Style below.
- Deep Freeze Style: A frozen take on the Pink Poppies Style.
What Accessories Are Available With The Chloe Kim Set?
Of course, it isn’t a new Fortnite skin without some epic new back bling, am I right? So, with the new Chloe Kim skin, you’ll be able to get the Sub-Zero Flight Back Bling, just so you can show off how high you can go in the half pipe.
Not only that, but Epic Games also made the Frozen Flourish Pickaxe, which will leave the competition in the cold. A new glider shaped like an icy dragon is also included, as well as a Board Flair emote with which you can show off your winter sport style.
When Will The Chloe Kim Skin Be Available?
You can find this skin in the shop as of March 26, 2022. She is going to be part of the icon series and make everyone’s heads turn on the island.
If you don’t want to spend any cash on it though, then you’ve got a chance to get this outfit a day early for free. You just have to spend some time playing Fortnite. Seriously, all you have to do is enter the Chloe Kim Cup on Thursday, March 24.
This is a no-build duo tournament. Top performing players in each region will unlock the Chloe Kim Outfit and accessories prior to the outfit's debut in the shop! Anyone who gets a total of eight points will also receive the Nunbola’s Flight Loading screen!
So, if you have already enabled 2-factor authentication and your account is level 50 or above, you’ll be able to compete in the Chloe Kim Cup to receive this new outfit for free. Best of luck to all!
