How to Get The General Grievous Skin in Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 3

Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 3 has reentered the atmosphere after traveling from lightspeed. It brings with it a slew of Star Wars-themed content, and General Grievous is a show-stealer. If you want to be greedy and wield four lightsabers (sort of), you’ve come to the right place.

Darth Vader, Han Solo, Yoda, Princess Leia, and the like are the people most fans think of for iconic Star Wars characters. Me? I prefer the demonic, insidious-looking getup of Darth Maul—complete with a double-ended lightsaber. Another star who captivates my imagination is General Grievous.

The garrish General almost resembles a one-robot disco with his four lightsabers. Even though he doesn’t have a load of lightsasbers in Fortnite, his S-tier design still makes him one of the best skins in Fortnite Chapter 6, Season 3.

Can You Get The General Grievous Skin Right Now in Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 3?

The General Grievous skin is currently unavailable to unlock and acquire in Fortnite.

If you’ve played Fortnite before, you probably know where I’m going with this guide. But to make this simple, General Grievous is 100% coming to Fortnite as a skin, but Epic Games utilizes a different strategy when it comes to seasonal content and its Battle Passes.

When is The General Grievous Skin Coming Out in Fortnite?

General Grievous will be available for players to earn later in May as Chapter 6 Season 3 progresses.

In the words of Epic Games: “Kaleesh cyborg and General of the Separatist droid army, General Grievous will be an unlockable Outfit in the Star Wars Battle Pass later in May. Unlock Grievous by completing objectives that’ll come online later in the Season! The Pass will be available to progress in from May 2 until June 7, 2025 Eastern Time.”

So if you’re wondering why you can’t unlock General Grievous, you have your answer. Epic typically does this to spread content out and encourage players who complete the content early on to come back. It’s a natural incentive and makes you come back to keep playing throughout the season.


You need to bide your time and wait patiently before you can start generaling everyone. While you wait, I want to know, where does General grievous rank in terms of the greatest-ever Star Wars characters?
