'Fortnite' Skull Trooper Challenge Guide - How to Get the Purple & New Colors

Fortnite update 6.02 includes the Skull Trooper challenges, which offer a chance to customize the skin using the Ghost Portal Back Bling. Want to make your Skull Trooper blue, green or purple? Here's what must be done.

'Fortnite' Skull Trooper Challenges

In order to complete these challenges you must have the Skull Trooper or Skull Squad set recently made available in the Item Shop. Once you do, finishing the following tasks allows you to customize the character and change its color.

• Complete seven Daily Challenges
• Play 50 matches
• Play 14 matches with at least one Elimination
• Search 10 Chests on a single match
• Deal 1,000 damage to opponents in a single match

Provided you bought the Skull Trooper during Fortnitemares last year, you'll immediately unlock the purple variant of the Ghost Portal Back Bling.

Tips to Get the Ghost Portal Back Bling

• Daily Challenges reset each day at 7 p.m. EDT. Beyond that, finishing seven of them shouldn't be too difficult. They vary by day, but the easiest ones include searching ammo boxes, playing a certain amount of matches or Eliminating players with a specific type of weapon. These will happen naturally as you play. Our best advice is to make note of challenges that stack with the other objectives. For example, as you slog toward finishing 50 matches, you might also be completing the daily for playing three matches as well. Working on both tasks at once cuts down on the time necessary to unlock your Ghost Portal reward.
• You only need one Elimination for this part of the challenge, so we suggest landing in a less populated area like Haunted Hills, Lonely Lodge or Pleasant Park to pick off an unsuspecting bystander. More skilled players can try going to Tilted or Greasy, but you may die quickly if you're not careful.
• Places like Paradise Palms, Pleasant Park and Tilted Towers are absolutely drenched in Chests. Those may be the best places to land if you want to find 10 in one match. For a more specific visual of locations, use this interactive map from FortniteChests.info.
• In general, you only need a few Elims to rack up 1,000 damage. One quick tip to upping your numbers is to play in Duos or Squads because you'll have the chance to accrue downed damage as well as Elimination damage. You might want to consider using a high-DPS weapon like a Shotgun if it's available, but this Challenge will most likely be completed naturally while trying to get Eliminations. Try not to overthink it, because you'll be surprised how much damage you do out of habit.

That's all there is to know about Fortnite's Skull Trooper Challenges. After finishing them you'll get the blue or green Ghost Portal Back Bling.
