The popular First Order Stormtrooper cosmetic will remain accessible in Fortnite for an extended period of two additional months following a recent schedule adjustment. Originally scheduled to conclude on August 31, 2025, players now have until October 31, 2025 to claim this distinctive armor set from the Star Wars universe.

Between Chapter 6 Season 2 and Chapter 6 Season 3, Fortnite hosted a special limited-time event celebrating the Star Wars franchise. This coincided with the annual "May the Fourth" in-game festivities, during which Epic Games significantly amplified the galactic theme throughout the battle royale experience. The game's island was transformed with iconic Star Wars elements, including recognizable locations replacing standard points of interest, lightsabers becoming prevalent weapons, and various starships appearing as obtainable vehicles across the map.

This special limited-time event, officially titled "Galactic Battle," introduced themed content across multiple game modes. The First Order LEGO Pass featured Captain Phasma as its primary reward, while the Galactic Battle Pass included the Wookie Cuddle Team Leader—a creative reinterpretation of the classic Fortnite outfit—alongside other notable characters from the Star Wars saga including Poe Dameron, Emperor Palpatine, and General Grievous.

The First Order Stormtrooper armor represented one of several Star Wars-inspired cosmetics introduced during the Galactic Battle event. Unlike other items available through battle passes or premium purchases, this particular outfit was offered completely free as part of a promotional collaboration. The extension provides additional opportunity for players who may have missed the initial offering period.

To obtain the First Order Stormtrooper cosmetic in Fortnite, players must create a MyDisney account and successfully link it to their Epic Games account. Those experiencing difficulties with this process can consult comprehensive guides detailing the step-by-step procedure for claiming this exclusive item. The extended availability until October 31, 2025 ensures ample time for players to add this distinctive armor to their collection.

Currently, Fortnite features nine complimentary cosmetic outfits available to players, though most operate under limited-time availability windows. Once these promotional periods conclude, these items typically transition to the premium Item Shop. The game regularly provides opportunities for players to acquire free cosmetics, particularly through competitive events and tournaments accessible via the in-game Compete tab. Successful participants in regional competitions sometimes gain early access to outfits before their official store release.
