Fortnite Prowler: How To Unlock Prowler Skin
Fortnite Prowler is a new arrival in Chapter 3 Season 2. The Marvel villain has joined forces with the Imagined Order in the ongoing Fortnite war. This guide will teach you how to unlock Fortnite Prowler as a playable character along with more details relating to the Prowler Quests and the full Prowler cosmetic set.
- Prowler is far from the only new character and skin in Fortnite. Check out our guide to Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 2 Battle Pass for a breakdown of all the cosmetics you can expect throughout the season.
Fortnite Prowler: Who Is Prowler?
Click to enlargeTwo more Marvel characters have joined Fortnite as the war between the Imagined Order and The Seven heats up. One being Doctor Strange and the other being Prowler.
Prowler is one of the lesser-known Marvel characters, so not everyone is familiar with him. Prowler is not a single individual but instead is an alias used by several different characters in the Marvel Universe. Most recently, Miles Morales' uncle from Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse played the part of Prowler. Prowler has been a hero at times, but for the most part, Prowler is a villain.
As a part of Fortnite, Prowler is the secret skin included in the current season's Battle Pass.
Fortnite Prowler: How To Unlock The Prowler Skin
Click to enlargeTo start, you'll need the Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 2 Battle Pass. For 950 V-Bucks, you'll gain access to all of the exclusive cosmetics — including the Prowler skin.
However, Fortnite Prowler is not unlocked via the traditional methods. Unlike the large majority of the Battle Pass cosmetics, you cannot unlock Prowler by redeeming Fortnite Battle Stars.
Instead, the Prowler outfit is time-gated. Like the Fortnite The Foundation skin from last season, you cannot begin the process of unlocking Prowler until a fixed date midway through the season. In this case, Fortnite Prowler will be made available on April 19, 2022. No matter what you do, that date is the earliest date you'll be able to unlock and play as Prowler.

Fortnite Prowler: Prowler Quests
Click to enlargeUnlocking Prowler in Fortnite isn't as simple as just buying the Battle Pass and waiting either. As was the case with secret skins of the past, you'll need to complete a series of Prowler-themed challenges to fully unlock Prowler and his selectable styles.

- Mod a Vehicle, then drive it 500 metres in a single match (1)
- Search chests before taking any damage in a match (7)
- Use a spray at The Daily Bugle (1)
- Collect different weapon types of Epic rarity or higher in a single match (3)
- Headshot opponents with a thermal weapon (3)
- Damage opponents while crouched or sliding (500)
- Collect Bars (300)
Fortnite Prowler: Prowler Quest Tips
Click to enlargeMod a Vehicle, then drive it 500 metres in a single match (1)
To mod a vehicle, you must equip it with one of Fortnite's Vehicle Mods. Types of Vehicle Mods include Cow Catchers and Off-Road Tires. Vehicle Mods are commonly found at Fortnite Gas Stations.
Toss a Vehicle Mod at a suitable vehicle to mod it.
Collect different weapon types of Epic rarity or higher in a single match (3)
The tiers of weapon rarity in Fortnite include:
- Common
- Uncommon
- Rare
- Epic
- Legendary
- Exotic
- Mythic
So, you'll need to collect three different types of Fortnite weapons of either Epic, Legendary, Exotic, or Mythic rarity. These weapon tiers can be identified by their colours: purple, orange, light blue, and gold. The Fortnite NPC locations are a great place to acquire different sorts of high-tier weapons.
Headshot opponents with a thermal weapon (3)
Thermal weapons outline heat signatures when aiming down sight. The only thermal weapon currently available in Chapter 3 Season 2 is the Thermal Scoped Assault Rifle.
Thermal Assault Rifles can be had via Chests, Floor Loot, Supply Drops, and Fishing Holes. The IO Boss NPC, Huntmaster Saber, also drops a Mythic Thermal Rifle upon death.
Secure a Thermal Assault Rifle and hit three headshots with it to complete this Prowler Quest.
Collect Bars (300)
Bars are the currency of the inhabitants of Fortnite Island. Bars can be obtained through a variety of sources — such as opening Chests, completing Fortnite Bounty Boards, and eliminating opponents.
