The Weeknd Combat skin in Fortnite was introduced in Chapter 5 Season 1, with update v28.00. Abel Makkonen Tesfaye, known by his stage name The Weeknd, was the first feature artist for Fortnite Festival Season 1. His induction into the Metaverse was celebrated with much pomp and show. Since the character in-game is modeled after the real-life individual, it's part of the Icon Series.

Unlike other artists such as Eminem and Snoop Dogg, he has no defined role in the storyline per se. This could change, but for now, he's just a background character. Additionally, The Weeknd has no LEGO Style. This means you cannot use the character in LEGO Fortnite Odyssey. It's a bit of a letdown, but he's still useable in other modes such as Battle Royale/Zero Build, and Ballistic.

Here is how to get The Weeknd Combat skin in Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 1.
