    There are often in-game events that unlock skins for free, like opening a set amount of gifts during Winterfest. You can also get V-Bucks, skins, and other free rewards in the Save the World mode.
  2. 2
    Compete in tournaments. Earning a skin by participating in a tournament hosted by Epic Games isn't as frequent as in-game events. This is a rarer event that is most likely themed for crossover characters, like Beast Boy or The Flash. If you don't unlock this skin via the tournament, you can purchase it later from the shop.
  3. 3
    Free codes. These are very rare and only circulate from Epic Games' social media. Be wary of codes from other sources (found by searching online) since they can be scams. [3]
