Stumbling upon one ofFortnite’s newest POIs, Brawler’s Battleground, players will have the opportunity to challenge the Greek god of war, Ares. With such a tense fight, and a pretty cool design, players might want to know how to get Ares in Fortnite as a skin that they can wear, without having to battle theOlympian boss found in Chapter 5 Season 2just to get a good look at him. Luckily, players can indeed get Ares inFortnite, but it’s not the way one might expect from a season all about Myths & Monsters.
Chapter 5 Season 2’s Battle Passfeatures all sorts of characters and gods from the Greek Mythology, but Ares is notably absent. Is he hiding from the threatening god of war, Kratos, or was he just taken out in favor of thesecret skin, Korra? Speculation need not arise, for Ares is finally here on theFortniteisland for players to claim for themselves, but they won’t need either levels or V-Bucks to make it happen this time.
How To Get Ares
An April 2024 Crew Pack Exclusive
To claim the Ares skin inFortnite, players mustpurchase the April 2024 Crew Pack, which becameavailable on Jun 17, 2025, at 7 PM ET. Any player whopurchases aFortniteCrew Subscription between March 1 and April 30 is eligible for the Ares skin, and it will automatically be gifted to their inventory when they next boot up the game, adding a new skin, pickaxe, and back bling to their locker. If players do not want to miss out on the god of war skin inFortnite, then they must purchase theFortniteCrewSubscription for $11.99 (USD). Players can immediatelycancel their FN Subscriptionif they just want the skin, as their subscription will auto-renew each month.
Ares will most likelyleave the FN Crew on July 30, 2025, at 7 PM ET, so if players are interested in picking him up, it’s best to do so sooner rather than later. It’s also worth noting thatFortnitehas stated since theFortniteCrew was established, that FN Crew skins are not exclusive, unlike Battle Pass skins. Yet, as of April 2024, noFortniteCrew skin has returned in any capacity, whether that’s an Item Shop purchase with V-Bucks, real money, or even a quest. Considering the rarity of the Fortnite Crew skins, it might be best to grab it and expect a few bonuses thanks to theFortniteCrew additions, which can make the monthly purchase worth more than just a new skin with some fresh cosmetics.
