How to get the Fall Guys skins in Fortnite

Run around as a small bean.

The Fortnite x Fall Guys collaboration officially begins on August 6, with a quick sneak peek already available in a particular mode. While this doesn’t let you go all-out with playing through obstacle courses and completing quests, you can check out what your favorite skin looks like as a Fall Guys character even before this update releases.

How to use Fall Guys skins in Fortnite

The only way to get Fall Guys skins in Fortnite before the collaboration officially begins on August 6 is to make a Creative island. By heading into your Creative world, finding the island terminal next to the teleportation portal, and making a Fall Guys island, your regular skin will convert to a small bean-like character you’d find in Fall Guys.

Make sure you’re specifically choosing a Fall Guys starter island when making your new world. Picking any other template will cause your regular character to spawn in.

The downside? You’ll revert to normal once you swap back to Fortnite’s Battle Royale or LEGO modes. In other words, this isn’t a permanent change, and it mainly serves as a way to have fun with the skins until the collaboration officially begins.

Nonetheless, even if you only keep the skin while on your island, you can use this to check out what your favorite skins look like as Fall Guys characters. For example, I was able to use my go-to character, Explorer Emilie, and see how she looks in this new form. You can do this with just about any skin to see how they change.
