The Fortnite Unvaulting countdown information has been discovered in the game files of the latest update. Thanks to dataminers dedicated to diving deep into each Fortnite patch as it drops, we now have a good idea of when the Fortnite Unvaulting event release time and date will be. Knowing ahead of time will allow eager players to ensure that they are prepped and ready for the mysterious event. Here’s when the Fortnite Unvaulting event is expected to be.
Fortnite Unvaulting Release Time and Date
Thanks to dataminers @ShiinaBR and @FortTory on Twitter, we now have new information about the rumored “Nexus event,” which it’s widely believed will allow players to vote on a currently vaulted item. The item that gets the most votes will presumably then be returned to the game. You can find out more information about the Nexus here.
This Nexus event is thought to be the same as the Fortnite Unvaulting event. That is, it will be an occasion when players will get to choose a vaulted weapon that they think should return to the game. With controversial items like the X-4 Stormwing plane being possible candidates to return, you can bet that a lot of players will want to have their say.
As for when exactly players will be able to vote on Unvaulted items. Well, @ShiinaBR has stated that the event will likely happen at 3 PM ET/12 PM PT. While this is not yet confirmed officially by Epic Games, there is a lot of evidence to support the high probability of the event taking place at this time.
The "Unvaulting event" will take place on Saturday at 3pm ET / 12pm PDT!
A new event called "UnvaultingCountdown" started yesterday when the rune appeared on the volcano and the event ends on Saturday at 3pm ET. The event will most likely occur when the countdown event ends. pic.twitter.com/wihm5OPlv1

You can expect to learn more about the Fortnite Unvaulted event release time and date through official sources, including the in-game “News” tab and on Fortnite‘s social media channels, as we get closer to Saturday. Here’s hoping it goes as planned!
Rarest Fortnite Skins

10 of Fortnite's Rarest Skins
Whether you're dropping into Fatal Fields or Greasy Grove, you want to look your best. Fortnite has countless skins, but there are those select few that prove that you put the work in. Whether you were just an early adopter or racked up the kills, here are a look at some of the rarest Fortnite skins around. -
Dire
Howl at the moon as Dire, the Werewolf Ninja Hero popping straight out of Save the World. It was the Tier 100 reward of the Season 6 battle pass, but that only got you his human form. To get him all wolfed out, you needed to complete a set of six challenges during the season. -
Galaxy
Would you purchase a cell phone just to get your hands on a Fortnite skin? Some people just may have done that to get Galaxy, the skin only available to owners of Samsung Galaxy phones and tablets during the Android beta period. He's shiny, but not that shiny. -
Giddy Up
Show your love for Fortnite's loot llamas by riding an inflatable one into battle. This jokey costume was available at Tier 23 of the Season 6 Battle Pass and comes with a custom emote. The female version of this skin, Yee-Haw!, is purchasable at the item store. -
Merry Marauder
Merry Marauder is an angry looking gingerbread man who released onto the item shop in December of 2017. He's a holiday-oriented fellow, so he only pops up when Santa is done checking his list twice. Purchasing him will also net you the Mini Marauder back bling, although that doesn't seem to make this ginger man any happier. -
Nightshade
Once you reached Tier 86 of the Season 6 Battle Pass, you received Nightshade. A female version of Tomatohead, she and her Night Cloak back bling are all part of the Pizza Pit theme; the perfect complement when you're fighting against the Burger menace. -
Recon Expert
Decidedly less flashy than other skins on this list, Recon Expect is rare solely due to its release window. It was one of the first skins to hit the shop, before the influx of players that made Fortnite the phenomenon that it is today. While it may rotate back onto the store someday, it's a rare find. -
Renegade Raider
Similar to Recon Expert, Renegade Rider only showed up very early in Fortnite's lifespan. Unlike Recon Expert, that apocalyptic melee weapon makes her fit in a bit more with the skull soldiers and vampires we're all used to seeing. Keep a lookout to see if this Raider will ever climb out of the bunker again. -
Royale Bomber
The Royale Bomber is a PlayStation exclusive, but that's not all. You only got this sunglass toting agent if you purchased specific PlayStation hardware. A controller in the U.S. and a console bundle in the European region. It's quite a hassle to look this good. -
The Reaper
Baba Yaga. The Boogeyman. The Reaper. All of these names apply to John Wick and also this somehow completely unrelated skin in Fortnite Awarded at the end of the Season 3 Battle Pass. Just don't tell anyone in Hollywood, I don't think they've noticed yet. -
Trog
Trog is love. Trog is life. Trog is the reward for Tier 71 of the Season 7 Battle Pass. We may never know where Trog is looking thanks to his famous cross-eyes, but we know that he loves all his children equally and also he is going to shoot some fools with a shotgun. Trog.
