"Usually, Fortnite players like it when Epic Games offers a free skin. But that's not the case for Freediver, a new skin that's available for free only through the Priority app, which offers various deals and rewards to customers of UK mobile providers O2 and Virgin Media. O2 and Virgin Media customers in the UK can use the Priority app to claim a code that'll let them unlock the skin by gaining a couple account levels."
"Having a skin locked to specific regional mobile providers means that most of the people in the world cannot get this skin. Not that they'd probably notice, since it's a fairly basic and not particularly interesting skin. But for folks who seriously collect Fortnite skins, that scarcity is a large part of its appeal--having this skin hypothetically offers a little bit of metaverse cred, since it's not something everyone can even get."
A new Freediver skin is available free only to O2 and Virgin Media customers in the UK via the Priority app, which grants a code after a couple account levels. The regional limitation prevents most players worldwide from obtaining the skin, increasing scarcity for dedicated collectors who value exclusive items. Epic previously offered a purple Thrilldiver recolor exclusively to Vivo customers in Brazil, suggesting a pattern of mobile-provider exclusives. The move appears tied to a renewed push for mobile players and may lead to more recolors tied to other providers. Epic typically distributes multiple free skins during the winter holiday season.
