While the process to unlock the Gold Lara Croft skin in Fortnite is relatively easy, it may become impossible to get the skin for a while due to the massive rush of players. However, since there is no end event date, players should risk it and head to the small island to get the skin as soon as possible.

The small island will undoubtedly be swarming with other players, and combat will not really be avoidable given the circumstances. As mentioned before, players will probably have to take multiple cracks at it before getting the Gold Lara Croft skin in Fortnite.

So, to begin with, they will need the battle pass, without which the skin will not get unlocked. Players will also need to unlock the Lara Croft skin to get the golden variant.

According to most players, any Lara Croft skin style will work, but the classic style is the best way to go. Once on the island, only the first player to pick up the weapon while wearing the Lara Croft skin will unlock the Gold Lara Croft skin in Fortnite.

Downing opponents and taking the weapon will not unlock the skin. Players will need to pick it up from the spawn point for it to work.
