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.

Google’s AI-powered Playground can turn your game idea into something playable with simple prompts
Playground lets you build, test, and share games without writing code.
Google Playground AI generated game

Every gamer has probably had an idea for a game they would love to make. The problem usually starts when you look at what building one actually involves. Learning a game engine, understanding game logic and physics, and getting everything to work together is enough to stop plenty of ideas before they ever become playable.

Google wants to remove much of that friction with Playground, a new experimental platform that lets you create games by simply describing what you want. You can start with an idea, turn it into something playable, and keep changing the rules, characters, physics, and environments through natural-language prompts without writing code. Playground is launching today in the U.S. for users aged 18 and older. Creation access will roll out in tiers depending on your Google One membership.
