How to unlock Neymar Jr. in Fortnite

By

The Neymar Jr. unlock challenge is live in Fortnite as of April 27. Season 6, chapter 2 came with a bunch of new features that players never expected. Fortnite Primal, as it’s been dubbed, puts players on a prehistoric map and allows them to tame wild beats as they fight for Victory Royale. With a handful of new characters and skins to unlock, the Neymar Jr. skin has Fortnite and soccer fans alike the most excited.

Neymar Jr. is a Brazilian professional soccer player, and his likeness is being used in Fortnite for season 6. Epic teased the athlete’s inclusion for this season, but if you jumped into the menus or the Item Shop, his outfit was nowhere to be found. With his unlock challenges live in the game, players can now unlock Neymar Jr. for themselves.

Here’s how to unlock Neymar Jr. in Fortnite.

There are six rewards associated with Neymar Jr. We’ve listed them below along with their unlock requirements.

  • The Soccer Ball (rare toy emote): Talk to any soccer player NPC
  • 10 Banner Icon: Talk to any soccer player NPC
  • The Matador (loading screen): Complete three quests from island soccer players
  • Neymar Jr. Skin: Complete five quests from island soccer players
  • Joia Trophy (Back Bling): Drop kick the Soccer Ball toy 500 meters as Neymar Jr.
  • Jaguar Strike Pickaxe: Score a goal with the Soccer Ball toy as Neymar Jr.

There are soccer players located all over the map in Fortnite season 6. Players can land at Holly Hedges, Dirty Docks, or Pleasant Park to find soccer players roaming around on soccer fields. Thankfully, it doesn’t matter which soccer player you accept a quest from; all that matters is that you complete it. Of course, some of these quests are easier said than done. Lucky players may be able to complete all of Neymar Jr.’s challenges in one impressive game — others will have to sink some time into Fortnite.

As the current king of crossovers, Fortnite has fans excited to see who else joins the fight as season 6 rolls on.

How many skins are in Fortnite?

With each new Fortnite season comes a slew of new cosmetics to earn through the Battle Pass or to purchase in the item shop. With the game being out for nearly six years, the number of skins in the game has grown to absurd levels. No longer will you run into a match of solo players wearing similar skins. Between regular releases of skins and special event skins involving IPs like Star Wars, Street Fighter, Marvel, and more, every player has a very unique locker full of cosmetics to bust out in a given match.

These days, it's almost more likely you'll run into a skin you've never seen before than a player using the same one as you!

A vista in Dragon Age: The Veilguard.

BioWare RPGs are known for being lengthy adventures. Whether it is one of the Mass Effect games or older Dragon Age titles, you can expect a hefty playtime full of adventure, charming companions, and side content. Dragon Age: The Veilguard is the first game in the series in 10 years and is far more action-heavy than previous entries, but does that mean it will lean on the shorter side? Or is this game a return to the old BioWare and something you can easily sink 40-plus hours into? There are a few ways to answer that question, and it will vary slightly from person to person, but here's about how long you can expect it to take you to beat Dragon Age: The Veilguard.
How long is Dragon Age: The Veilguard?

While it isn't quite an open-world game, Dragon Age: The Veilguard is still huge, with expansive hubs full of side content to explore. It also features incredibly customizable difficulty settings that can vastly influence your playtime. All that being said, if you were to take a balanced approach to exploring, doing side content, and playing on a difficulty level that challenges you a bit, expect the game to last you around 40 hours. You can probably shave off around 10 hours if you mainline the story, and maybe a bit more if you set the difficulty to the lowest level to just experience the story.
