The Monk’s skin, originally launched back in January 2020, has seen several styles and upgrades over the years. Known for its sock monkey appearance, the skin has become a favorite among casual and competitive players alike.
But now, Fortnite has introduced a new twist — the GHOST Monks skin — and this one can’t be found in the regular Fortnite Item Shop.
Instead of buying it directly, players can get GHOST Monks for free by redeeming a Fortnite Gift Card — not to be confused with a V-Bucks card — before December 31, 2026.
How to Claim the Free GHOST Monks Skin in Fortnite?
To get the free GHOST Monks skin, players must redeem a Fortnite Gift Card to their Epic Games account. These cards will be available at select retailers starting June 2025 in the following countries:
- United States of America
- United Kingdom
- Germany
- France
- Italy
- Spain
- Portugal
- The Netherlands
- Belgium
- Austria
- Ireland
Step-by-Step Guide to Redeem the GHOST Monks Skin
- Buy a Fortnite Gift Card from a listed retailer (when available in your region).
- Locate the 16-digit PIN on the back of the card.
- Scan the QR code on the card or go to epicgames.com/redeem.
- Sign in with your Epic Games account that’s linked to your game platform (PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo, etc.).
- Enter the PIN and click “Redeem Now.”
- Open Fortnite — you’ll see a rewards screen that confirms your free GHOST Monks skin has been added to your locker.
Important Things to Remember
- The offer is valid until December 31, 2026, so there’s no need to rush — but don’t wait too long either.
- These Fortnite Gift Cards are different from V-Bucks cards. Only the Fortnite-specific cards will unlock the GHOST Monks skin.
- This is a one-time reward per account, so make sure to redeem it correctly the first time.
This move by Epic Games is seen as a way to promote their new range of gift cards while giving players a fun bonus in return. Whether you’re a skin collector or just love freebies, the GHOST Monks skin is a must-have for your Fortnite locker.
