Epic Games has added a new character to Fortnite as you can now play as Neymar Jr in the game. Well, to a degree. Starting on April 27th, the team will add a new set of Battle Pass Quests, allowing you to unlock his Outfit and other items from the set, which you can see below. The reason we're in "sorta" mode here is that you're not playing as him as a soccer player, and you're not playing as him the entire time as he's got an armor transformation that is… well, you can see it for yourself. We got more info on the event below from the blog.

EPIC QUESTS FOR "EXHIBITION" ALTS AND MORE

The Neymar Jr rewards don't end at Neymar Jr Quests. For completing certain amounts of Chapter 2 Season 6 Epic Quests, you'll unlock even more items from his Set. You'll also unlock the Exhibition version of the Neymar Jr Outfit and other items, based on his familiar uniform of yellow, blue, and green. In order, all Neymar Jr rewards unlocked this way are the:

  • I'm ready! Spray
  • Stealth Shot Emoticon
  • Hang Loose Celebration Emote
  • Aerial Acrobat Glider
  • Exhibition Style of the Neymar Jr Outfit, Jaguar Strike Pickaxe, and Aerial Acrobat Glider

Once you've unlocked the Exhibition Style of the Neymar Jr Outfit, use the Shhh. Emote to awaken Neymar Jr's other primal form — based on the Exhibition look. With his default Style, Exhibition Style, and two primal forms, the Neymar Jr Outfit has four different versions!
