Stormtrooper skin free when you buy Jedi: Fallen Order via Epic.

At last, I have the perfect avatar for my terrible aim. To celebrate today's launch of Star Wars: Jedi Fallen Order, the franchise's iconic Imperial Stormtrooper is now available as a skin in Fortnite.

The outfit comes free if you buy Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order from the Epic Games Store before 30th November. Alternatively, it can be purchased in-game for 1500 Vbucks.
