🎭 Fortnite Skin: How to Get the Fernet Outfit

The Fernet Outfit is a Fortnite crossover cosmetic celebrating the launch of Kernel Hearts — Ephemera Games’ first appearance in the battle royale. It was granted as a pre-purchase gift for the Epic Games Store edition of Kernel Hearts starting August 17, 2026. If you pre-purchased on Epic before launch, the outfit is delivered to your linked Epic account; check your Fortnite locker after the grant window. Steam and console purchases do not include the Fortnite item — the gift is Epic-specific.

Fernet is one of the four magical girls of the M.A.H.O.U Unit — the frontline brawler of the roster and the character Ephemera chose to represent the game in Fortnite. The crossover ran alongside the September 2026 launch window, pairing the Epic Games Store release of Kernel Hearts with an exclusive gift in Fortnite: the Fernet Outfit, playable in every Fortnite mode once claimed.

• Pre-purchase (or buy, per the promotion terms on the Epic store page) the Epic Games Store edition of Kernel Hearts.
• Use the same Epic account for the store purchase and for Fortnite.
• The outfit appears in your Fortnite locker after the grant is processed — no redeem code needed for direct grants.
• Steam, PS5, Xbox and Switch 2 purchases do not include the Fortnite item.

Launch-window gifts are typically time-limited to the promotion period stated on the Epic Games Store page. If the gift window has closed, watch for a return during Fortnite crossover rotations — launch collaborations often reappear in later events. This page is updated when availability changes; the platforms page tracks every edition of the game itself.
