How to get Sunbird and Mezmer skins in Fortnite

Sunbird and Mezmer skins were introduced in Fortnite Chapter 1 Season 8. They are two of the oldest and most colorful characters to have ever graced the island. While not associated with the storyline per se, they have had plenty of memorable moments in the game. They are gorgeous to look at even after all these years.

With the addition of the LEGO mode, both Sunbird and Mezmer skins have LEGO Styles to choose from. Players who have been here since Chapter 1 will enjoy using them to explore the new and vast open world. Here is how to get Sunbird and Mezmer skins in Fortnite, in case you don't have them in your locker already.

How long could Sunbird and Mezmer Skins stay in the Item Shop?

Sunbird and Mezmer Skins could be listed until the next major update (v29.20) (Image via Epic Games/Fortnite)

Since the Sunbird and Mezmer skins have been in the game for years at this point, Epic Games will not keep them listed in the Item Shop for very long. They will likely be removed soon after the next major update (v29.20), which is scheduled to occur tomorrow (April 9, 2024).

This is subject to change based on Epic Games' discretion, but it is probable considering new cosmetics are added after every major update and older ones will be vaulted to make room for them.
