Lynx Outfit Upgrades

The Lynx skin is a Tier 1 outfit that becomes available as soon as you purchase the Fortnite Season 7 Battle Pass, which costs 950 V-Bucks. Players will start out with the basic Lynx outfit, which features a female character dressed in a black bodysuit with a cat-eared hoodie. Lynx is a Legendary outfit and is part of the Lynx set in Fortnite. The Lynx challenges are available to players who have purchased the Season 7 Battle Pass.

As you play Fortnite Battle Royale and earn Season XP, you will unlock new upgrades for the Lynx skin that change the outfit’s overall appearance into a more robotic catsuit. You can equip and swap outfit pieces within the Locker menu.

The progressive challenges work a bit differently this time around, as there’s an extra level to unlock for Lynx, and not all the outfit upgrades are available through XP milestones this season. To get every Lynx outfit upgrade, you’ll need to complete a combination of Lynx Challenges as well as a specific number of weekly challenges to get all of the cosmetic upgrades for Lynx. Along with individual outfit parts, players can also unlock new colors for Lynx’s pickaxe, as well as a new dance emote.
