Is it possible to get free skins in Fortnite Season 7?

Skins make Fortnite a better place. One thing Fortnite has that truly sets it apart from other Battle Royale games is its creativity. Instead of being one of a few Legends like Apex Legends, or generic soldiers like in PUBG or Call of Duty: Warzone, Fortnite players have ultimate creativity in their player. They can have almost any skin they want and match it with various other cosmetics.

Getting skins for their favorite characters from outside properties or even the best of the Fortnite exclusives is a big part of the game. The amount of V-Bucks required to get a lot of skins can add up quickly. Sometimes there are free skins, like the PlayStation exclusive or the Galaxy skin (though not ultimately free), and players like to make use of these.

Free skins available for Fortnite Season 7

Currently, there aren't any free skins. At least not in the sense that Epic Games and Fortnite just hand them to players without any requirement or stipulation. Sometimes they do that, but it doesn't appear that Season 7 will have any of those. It's possible they will in the future, as Season 7 isn't finished yet, but right now there aren't any free skins.

Stayed up just to finish all my @FortniteGame season 7. Man I can’t take 4 weeks off again.

There are "free" skins in the battle pass that buyers can get without paying V-Bucks, but they essentially cost the price of the battle pass, so they're ultimately not free. There were some in the past, like Thanos, that had a tournament to win the skin for free, but that's not active anymore.
