How to get Metallica Fortnite skins explained

We’re getting a bunch of content, though, so check out the Fortnite Metallica event update so you’re all up to speed.

But they’re certainly a welcome addition and very theme-appropriate given the post-apocalyptic setting of Wrecked.

However, Nothing Else Matters other than getting those skins - and though Sad but True, we must allow this intro to Fade to Black and get on with it.
