How to get Power Armor in Fortnite

As soon as Fortnite Chapter 5, Season 3 was revealed to have a crossover with the Fallout franchise, we all knew it had to include the Power Armor. Now that the season is out, we can confirm that there are not just one, but three different versions of the iconic metal suit to wear, but it may not be quite what you hoped.

Instead of being something you can find and use on the map to become an unstoppable killing machine in like the source material, the Power Armor you can get in Fortnite is just a set of skins. Even if it is just a skin, it looks intimidating, so why not add it to your collection? Here’s what it takes to unlock each version.

How to get the Power Armor skin in Fortnite

Because the sets of Power Armor are skins, they need to be unlocked through the battle pass and can’t be purchased as of now. The three versions are different-colored variants of the T-60 Power Armor and unlock at different tiers. Here’s what level you need to grind to in order to get them all.

  • T-60 Power Armor: The default gray Power Armor is the first version you can unlock by reaching level 54 and earning nine battle stars on the battle pass.
  • Hot Rod T-60 Power Armor: This flaming-red version of the armor also requires nine battle stars and grinding up to level 62.
  • Black Knight T-60 Power Armor: The black and bloody version with glowing red eyes is the most unique, but also the hardest to get. You need to first earn all other battle pass rewards, earn 20 battle stars, and claim all the bonus rewards on page one to unlock it.

There's no doubt that Fortnite has earned its place among the best games of all time. Whether you love it or hate it, no one can deny the power this battle royale has. Beyond all the crossovers and new mechanics it adds every season, this one game played a massive role in making cross-platform games the industry standard. There are modes where you can play solo, but this is a team-based game at heart. Most people choose to party up online, but there is a way to make Fortnite one of the best co-op games too by going old school and playing split screen.

Once Human: codes and how to redeem them

Plenty of games, especially the best free-to-play games, like to offer players special codes for in-game rewards. Once Human is a massive -- and free -- survival game on Steam that is as addicting as it is challenging. You have a lot to manage between fighting the aggressive Stardust-infected monsters, crafting new gear, and building a base to protect yourself from other players. Of course, as is the tradition with all the best survival games, you start off with nothing and need to scrape together every advantage you can get at the start. That is, unless you give yourself a small edge by claiming some free items with a code or two.
