Preliminary information
You will probably already be aware of the story of the character involved, but there may be some interesting details that you missed. Before going into the details of the procedure relating to how to unlock League of Legends Jinx on Fortnite, I think it is intriguing to deepen everything.
Well, Jinx is a character that fans have come to know over the years within the videogioco League of Legends, free-to-play title belonging to the genre MOBA that since 2009 has kept many users glued to the screen.
To be precise, let's talk about 180 million monthly active players reached in October 2022, as announced by Riot Games on Twitter. I remember that the well-known software house usually calculates this figure by combining all the titles related to the universe of League of Legends, therefore the same LoL, Legends of Runeterra (free-to-play card game for mobile devices released in 2022), League of Legends: Wild Rift (MOBA for mobile devices launched in 2022 in beta) e Teamfight Tactics (strategic released in 2022 for PC and in 2022 for mobile devices).
In short, the universe created by Riot Games is particularly large and popular, especially in the world of PC gaming, as well as able to attract the attention of both players with a little more years on their shoulders and those who could be defined as new recruits.
In this regard, there is not only the expansion of the LoL universe on mobile to wink at an audience other than the classic lovers of the MOBA genre, given that in November 2022 it was released on the streaming platform. Netflix a TV series call Arcane, which is based on League of Legends and puts the character of Jinx.
More precisely, the TV series, conceived by Christian Linke and Alex Yee, is based on the story of Jinx and his sister Vi. The first season narrates the events in three acts and the critics have all in all welcomed the production, so much so that more than someone has come to affirm that this is how TV series related to the world of video games should be made.
In any case, net of the opinions of critics and the public, what is interesting to analyze here is the fact that Jinx arrives in Fortnite in a period that is anything but random, given that the character is the center of attention also as regards the target linked to Netflix.
In short, the close partnership between Epic Games and Riot Games is not only aimed at those who appreciate the MOBA genre and use Jinx on League of Legends more or less from the end of 2013, but also to a much wider audience, who may be learning about the LoL universe through the Netflix TV series.
Once again, therefore, Fortnite bridges multiple generations, focusing both on the nostalgia factor and on the latest news available. To be clear, in a romantic vision of the videogame world, I would not struggle to see a father explain the story of Jinx to his son, introducing the latter to the universe of League of Legends using this partnership as a pivot.
It is also a question that intersects multiple mediums, Or the Games and TV series. Put simply, the Epic Games and Riot Games initiative is very intriguing from multiple points of view, so I understand why you want to get your hands on this character within Fortnite.
By the way, if this is your first time approaching this video game, you need to know that this is a pretty good time to do it. In fact, the Jinx skin landed in the Epic Games title during the Season 8 of Chapter 2, that is the one started at September 2022 and with conclusion set at December 5 2022.
To be clear, during this season there were multiple novelties, from the release of the Venom Carnage skin to the release of the Rick Grimes costume from The Walking Dead, not to mention Ariana Grande, Tom Hardy as Venom, Chris Redfield and Jill Valentine from Resident Evil and Chani Kynes and Paul Atreides of Dune.
If you think it's over here, you're wrong: the previous Season 7 of Chapter 2 Fortnite also saw the arrival of Ryan Reynolds in the Free Guy version, Cammy and Guile in Street Fighter, Will Smith in the Bad Boys version, Rick Sanchez in Rick and Morty, J Balvin, LeBron James in the Space Jam 2 version, Superman , Wonder Woman, Batman and Loki. There was even the appearance of the Ferrari 296 GTB.
So understand that Epic Games is creating a kind of metaverse, to use a term dear to many technology enthusiasts, made up of many narrative universes important, which now also includes that of league of legends.
In short, this is an intriguing period for Fortnite and I understand your hype for Jinx. Before showing you how you can get the character, however, I would like to make a clarification: Epic Games usually keeps this type of skin (i.e. costumes that can then be used to play in online games) within Fortnite for a limited time.
Put simply, in order to actually be able to get Jinx, you need to follow this tutorial in the right amount of time, therefore some weeks of Season 8 of Chapter 2 of Fortnite. Otherwise, you may fail to achieve your goal, in that Jinx's skin may be removed.
How to unlock League of Legends Jinx on Fortnite
Now that you are aware of the context in which the skins on Jinx has landed on Fortnite, I would say that the time has come to deepen the steps necessary to reach your goal.
In this context, you must know that you have to go through the V-Buck, or the in-game currency of Epic Games, given that it was chosen to make the character available through the Fortnite internal store.
Put simply, Jinx's skin and other aesthetic elements related to the character from the League of Legends universe must be purchased by means of a certain number of V-Bucks. In fact, the latter can also be obtained in free way simply by playing, leveling up in the Free Battle Pass and choosing the appropriate ones rewards through the star system.
However, it must be said that taking advantage of this method is not exactly convenient, as free V-Bucks are given out by Fortnite very sparingly and it is therefore unlikely that you will be able to put aside a good loot in a short time, as to get from zero to the sums required by this type of skin it can also take several seasons. In any case, you can learn more through my tutorial on how to get V-Buck for free on Fortnite.
In any case, the most likely scenario is the one that you ultimately choose to go for micro-transactions, as the latter allow, by spending real money, to immediately obtain a high number of V-Bucks. To be clear, you can even get to have 13.500 V-Buck spending 79,99 euros or 5.000 V-Buck paying € 31,99.
The latter are packages, however, perhaps a bit excessive in terms of your objective, so the solutions you will take a closer look at will probably be the packages to be 2.800 V-Buck (19,99 euros) e 1.000 V-Buck (€ 7,99). I remind you that making the purchase is child's play: you just need to set a valid payment method and complete the transaction.
Unfortunately, I cannot go further into detail, as the procedure varies by platform from which it proceeds. However, for any doubts you can refer, for example, to my guides on how to pay on PlayStation Store and on how to get V-Buck on Fortnite. Either way, you shouldn't have too much trouble doing this.
For the rest, the main proposal relating to Jinx that appeared in the Fortnite Store is the one concerning the Bundle Jinx Arcana, proposed a 1.800 V-Buck (instead of 2.500 V-Buck). The latter includes the skin Jinx Arcana, the decorative back Jinx's Dream Monkey, the collection tool Pow Destroyer Pow, the music Playground (instrumental), the loading screen Katchoo and the spray Bewitched.
If, on the other hand, you are only interested in the individual aesthetic elements, you might think about using 1.500 V-Buck to get the costume at Jinx, which also includes the decorative back Jinx's Dream Monkey. The 800 V-Buck instead there is the collection tool Pow Destroyer Pow, while while a 200 V-Buck you can take the music home with you Playground (instrumental).
In short, now you know a little about all the elements related to the partnership between Epic Games and Riot Games: you just have to use the right number of V-Buck to have what is right for you.
