Usually, when a skin is given away early to promote a tournament, Epic Games tends to let players know that they will have the chance to purchase it in the Item Shop at a later date if they aren't able to win it during the competition. However, that was not the case here. When fans asked the developers on Twitter if they would be able to purchase it later, they simply replied with secretive emojis.
Gamers who want to get the NITE Unit Marksman skin in Fortnite should make sure they participate in the Solo Blitz Mobile Cup. However, the Fortnite Competitive account mentioned that these cups would go live weekly on Thursdays.
Solo Blitz Mobile Cup Schedule & Rules
As the name indicates, the Solo Blitz Mobile Cup is a solo tournament set in the Blitz game mode, and it is exclusive to players on a mobile device - this includes phones and tablets, not the Nintendo Switch and its sucessor.
The Solo Blitz Mobile Cup takes place on August 22 or August 23, depending on the player's region. To check the exact time of the tournament in their region, players must check the in-game Compete tab or the competitive scheduler.
