Following on from the problems with Fortnite‘s Marshmello skin last week, which saw the skin disabled after reports of glitching issues, Epic has now released the new Fortnite Marshmello loading screen. This loading screen was not made available during the Fortnite x Marshmello event last month, which saw new cosmetic items inspired by the eponymous trap DJ, including an expensive skin, glider, and emote. Read on to find out how to unlock the Marshmello loading screen in Fortnite.
Fortnite Marshmello Loading Screen | How to unlock the Marshmello Loading Screen
The new Fortnite Marshmello loading screen was released as an apology from Epic to owners of the Marshmello skin, who have been unable to equip the skin since mid-February. As such, the Marshmello loading screen has been given for free to any players that had previously bought the Marshmello skin, and should be ready to equip in their purchased cosmetics. However, the loading screen is not yet available to purchase for other players in the store. Epic has made this item exclusive to previous owners of the Marshmello skin, at least for now, so you can’t unlock the loading screen unless you’re one of these owners.
While the Fortnite x Marshmello event has since concluded, after a record-breaking concert that gathered more than 10 million concurrent players in the game, these items could become available again at a later date. This means you could still have a chance to collect the Marshmello loading screen, but until then, you can explore the battle royale’s latest pirate-themed invent. This includes the new banana skin outfit that peels itself open the longer you survive, along with a variety of other new features and cosmetic items. If slowly-ripening bananas aren’t your style, you might want to investigate the upcoming exclusive skins set to release in Fortnite, most notably with the more stylish Galaxy Ikonik skin.

10 of Fortnite's Rarest Skins
Whether you're dropping into Fatal Fields or Greasy Grove, you want to look your best. Fortnite has countless skins, but there are those select few that prove that you put the work in. Whether you were just an early adopter or racked up the kills, here are a look at some of the rarest Fortnite skins around. -
Dire
Howl at the moon as Dire, the Werewolf Ninja Hero popping straight out of Save the World. It was the Tier 100 reward of the Season 6 battle pass, but that only got you his human form. To get him all wolfed out, you needed to complete a set of six challenges during the season. -
Galaxy
Would you purchase a cell phone just to get your hands on a Fortnite skin? Some people just may have done that to get Galaxy, the skin only available to owners of Samsung Galaxy phones and tablets during the Android beta period. He's shiny, but not that shiny. -
Giddy Up
Show your love for Fortnite's loot llamas by riding an inflatable one into battle. This jokey costume was available at Tier 23 of the Season 6 Battle Pass and comes with a custom emote. The female version of this skin, Yee-Haw!, is purchasable at the item store. -
Merry Marauder
Merry Marauder is an angry looking gingerbread man who released onto the item shop in December of 2017. He's a holiday-oriented fellow, so he only pops up when Santa is done checking his list twice. Purchasing him will also net you the Mini Marauder back bling, although that doesn't seem to make this ginger man any happier. -
Nightshade
Once you reached Tier 86 of the Season 6 Battle Pass, you received Nightshade. A female version of Tomatohead, she and her Night Cloak back bling are all part of the Pizza Pit theme; the perfect complement when you're fighting against the Burger menace. -
Recon Expert
Decidedly less flashy than other skins on this list, Recon Expect is rare solely due to its release window. It was one of the first skins to hit the shop, before the influx of players that made Fortnite the phenomenon that it is today. While it may rotate back onto the store someday, it's a rare find. -
Renegade Raider
Similar to Recon Expert, Renegade Rider only showed up very early in Fortnite's lifespan. Unlike Recon Expert, that apocalyptic melee weapon makes her fit in a bit more with the skull soldiers and vampires we're all used to seeing. Keep a lookout to see if this Raider will ever climb out of the bunker again. -
Royale Bomber
The Royale Bomber is a PlayStation exclusive, but that's not all. You only got this sunglass toting agent if you purchased specific PlayStation hardware. A controller in the U.S. and a console bundle in the European region. It's quite a hassle to look this good. -
The Reaper
Baba Yaga. The Boogeyman. The Reaper. All of these names apply to John Wick and also this somehow completely unrelated skin in Fortnite Awarded at the end of the Season 3 Battle Pass. Just don't tell anyone in Hollywood, I don't think they've noticed yet. -
Trog
Trog is love. Trog is life. Trog is the reward for Tier 71 of the Season 7 Battle Pass. We may never know where Trog is looking thanks to his famous cross-eyes, but we know that he loves all his children equally and also he is going to shoot some fools with a shotgun. Trog.
