With the dawning of Fortnite Season 8, plenty of new outfits have been added to the game. This includes the Fortnite Hybrid Skin. Anyone who either bought or earned themselves the Fortnite Season 8 Battle Pass will have received both the Hybrid skin and Blackheart outfit. Both skins, however, feature multiple designs that you can unlock. If you’re after a how to upgrade Fortnite Hybrid skin guide, read on to learn all you need to know about unlocking all ten of its different styles.
What is the Fortnite Hybrid Skin?
As stated above, the Fortnite Hybrid outfit is one that you unlock for owning the Season 8 Battle Pass. It is an outfit that you can upgrade, however. In total, there are ten different Hybrid skin styles to unlock. The standard one, meanwhile, is decent enough. You’ll dress as a red ninja, with dragon insignia placed on shoulder pads. It’s part of the Brood set. Those who wish to show that they really mean business in Fortnite will want to unlock the further nine styles of the Legendary Hybrid skin.
Fortnite Hybrid Skin | How to upgrade
You will unlock the Hybrid skin simply by owning the Season 8 Battle Pass, but unlocking its further nine styles might prove to be difficult. At least we’re here to let you know exactly what you’ll need to do in order to unlock them all. Essentially, though, the more XP you earn, the more dragon your character will become in Fortnite when equipped with the Hybrid skin. You can mix and match all the unlocked styles.
Six of the ten unlockable Hybrid skin stages have you slowly becoming more and more of a dragon until in stage seven when you are a full purple dragon complete with electric aura. This is done by earning experience points. This is done as follows:
- Stage 2: 60,000 XP
- Stage 3: 100,000 XP
- Stage 4: 180,000 XP
- Stage 5: 220,000 XP
- Stage 6: 300,000 XP
- Stage 7: 340,000 XP
Stages eight, nine, and ten offer color changes on the original Hybrid skin design. To unlock these three designs is as follows:
- Stage 8 (blue): Complete 15 weekly challenges
- Stage 9 (black): Complete 35 weekly challenges
- Stage 10 (pink): Complete 60 weekly challenges
Be sure to grind out these unlocks and mix-and-match your favorite styles.

Fortnite's 10 Game Changing Pickups
So, you're dropping into Tilted Towers and you need a game changer. Something that will ensure that your next match is memorable. Fortnite has had plenty of these types of items in its brief history, and here are the most devastating. See any of these on the field, and you better run. -
Crossbow
Originally themed for Valentines Day, the crossbow was a devastating sniper rifle even without its fancy skin. A high damage output even on Rare difficulty and five shots to a clip made it a sharpshooters dream, and eventually led to it being vaulted in May of 2018. -
Drum Gun
A hybrid of a Rifle and Machine Gun, the Drum Gun brought a 1920s flair to Junk Junction. It proved to be deadly accurate in the hands of players at close range, even after a round of significant nerfs. Two months after its initial debut, it was curtains for this Tommy. -
Guided Missile
The preferred tool of any rocket rider, the Guided Missile lets you root out camping opponents and sail into the skies of victory. A devastating and rare munition, the Guided Missile saw two tours of duty in the fields of Fortnite. As of now, it's still available to mess around with in Playground mode. -
Infinity Blade
Originating in Epic's hit trilogy of mobile games, this mythic sword only lasted for four days before being banished to the Vault. It powered up players and granted them extra health, creating an in-game boss fight. In the end, it did its job just a bit too well. -
Infinity Gauntlet
A purposefully limited time item, this Marvel Comics artifact turned its wielder into Thanos. His mighty punch, energy blast, and insane leaping ability made players quake in fear during his summer stint in the battle royale. Let's hope he finds other worlds to conquer for the sequel. -
Jetpack
Nothing changes a shooter quite like added mobility. Dodge out of sniper fire and root out towers of foes with the Jetpack, a limited time only Legendary backpack. Aeronauts with enough skill can negate any crafty builders and land the last few kills with pinpoint accuracy. -
Mounted Turret
A turret sequence in most shooters is a drag, but a well executed run with the Mounted Turret can be a thrill. This legendary trap is deployable anywhere there's a flat surface and spurts out infinite ammo as long as you mind the heat and don't take enough damage. -
Remote Explosives
It makes sense that a game partially about building would also have some C4 to even the odds, but the Remote Explosives were too much for their own good. Able to rip apart strategies at a distance and coming in bundles of three, most players don't miss these server bombs. -
Thermal Scoped Assault Rifle
Able to pick out enemies and loot with ease, the Thermal Scoped Assault Rifle is the current best weapon if you're looking to charge an opposing team. Just be sure to account for its high recoil, lest you be staring into the sun as you take a fatal blow. -
Zapotron
One of the original vaulted weapons in Fortnite's battle royale mode, the Zapotron was an electrified sniper rifle that decimated groups of enemies from afar. It has a great design but doesn't really fit with the rest of the game's more authentic arsenal. Still, don't wear a lightning rod if we ever see this weapon again.
