The Serge skin will be available as a free Fortnite Skin during the OG Community Cup taking place on January 19, 2025. This special Duos tournament requires you to team up with another player and compete against the community’s best. The requirements for obtaining the skin vary by region:

  • For players in Oceania (OCE), Asia (ASIA), Middle East (ME), Brazil (BR), and North America West (NAW), you’ll need to place within the top 100 teams to claim the Serge skin.
  • European (EU) players have a wider window, with the top 1,000 teams eligible for the reward, while North America Central (NAC) players must finish in the top 900.

Beyond the main skin, Epic Games is offering additional cosmetics tied to your tournament performance. Scoring 8 points will earn you Serge’s Surge Wrap, while reaching 40 points unlocks the Surging Edge Back Bling. Top-performing teams will also receive the Surging Edge Pickaxe as a bonus alongside the main skin.

Is the Serge Skin Worth the Effort?

The Serge skin features a fairly standard design with a fox-cat mask, red coat, and black samurai-inspired armor underneath. While it’s not particularly groundbreaking, it offers a clean look that won’t interfere with gameplay visibility. The red elements of the outfit might make you somewhat more noticeable in certain situations, so keep that in mind if you’re focusing on competitive play.

If you enjoy participating in tournaments and are confident in your Duos gameplay, competing for the skin could be worthwhile since it’s free. However, if you’re not typically a competitive player, you might want to wait and see if the skin appears in the Item Shop later, though Epic Games hasn’t confirmed whether this will happen.

Whether you decide to compete for the Serge skin or not will largely depend on your interest in tournaments and how much you value having exclusive cosmetics in your locker. If you do participate, focus on playing your best and remember that the additional cosmetics are achievable even without a top placement.
