The regular skins for Metallica are obtained through the season four Festival Pass, while the special Puppet Master skins are only available through the shop and cost V-Bucks. The prices of the shop skins are 1,500 for each individual skin, although there are also a couple of bundles you can buy if you’re planning to get more than one member or some Metallica accessories.

Now that you know how to unlock all eight skins, you can get ready to attend the Metallica concerts in Fortnite as one of the members. Metallica’s reign does mean Billie Eilish’s time as the lead icon is over, but you can still get one of her skins in the shop when it returns. This is also the case for past Festival icons like The Weeknd and Lady Gaga.
