1996. This is the year of release of a video game called Resident Evil, developed by the software house Capcom. At the time, the name of the latter was known mainly for Street Fighter, the iconic fighting arcade that has entertained generations of gamers. However, with his new project Capcom decided to focus on very different atmospheres: those of survival horror. What happened next is well known: nowadays, Resident Evil is seen as a series that has rewritten the canons of the genre.
Who knows, however, if the "hard and pure" fans of the saga would have ever imagined that one day the characters linked to these video games would land in a title with a "colorful", almost cartoon style, which has very little to do do with the dark atmospheres of horror. Yet if you are here it is precisely because you are wondering How to unlock Resident Evil Chris Redfield and Jill Valentine in Fortnite, so you are well aware that in the end it all really happened.
On the other hand, putting "stakes" on what can be done with the various narrative universes would be wrong: we must leave the software houses free to use their intellectual properties as they see fit; then obviously it is up to the public to judge the result. Anyway, net of some controversy, I'm sure many will appreciate this collaboration between Resident Evil and Fortnite and if you are one of them too, let me help you achieve your goal. Find out everything below: enjoy your reading and have fun!

Preliminary information
Before delving into the procedure on How to unlock Resident Evil Chris Redfield and Jill Valentine in Fortnite, I think it is right to analyze the general context.
Well, the landing of the well-known characters of the Capcom series within the title of Epic Games took place with a timing that is anything but casual, as indeed always happens in these cases. The skins of Chris Redfield and Jill Valentine have in fact arrived on Fortnite in the context of the Season 8 of Chapter 2, whose deadline is set for December 5, 2022.
More precisely, the arrival of the "costumes" took place in October 2022, in full "Halloween atmosphere". In short, who better than Chris and Jill can keep the "monstrosities" that circulate around the Fortnite map at bay, given that they have years of training linked to battles with zombies on their shoulders? But that is not all.
After Resident Evil 7, a title released in 2022 that did not exactly convince everyone, the Capcom series has indeed "recovered" with a chapter that has convinced much more: Resident evil village of 2022, in which own Chris Redfield finds an important role (so much so that it appears prominently on the cover).
The title proved to be a great success and therefore the Resident Evil series is back in vogue; hence the arrival of Chris and Jill's skins on Fortnite. Furthermore, the fact that October 21, 2022 was also released should not be underestimated Resident Evil 4 VR, which is the augmented reality version for Oculus Quest 2 of the masterpiece originally dated 2005.
Among other things, Epic Games and Capcom have decided to also focus on the figure of Jill Valentine, a figure that many remember in Resident Evil 3. As it happens, in 2022 a remake of the latter title was released, which obviously sees Jill Valentine at the forefront. In short, it all comes back.
For the rest, it is worth mentioning the fact that during Season 8 of Chapter 2 they clearly arrived in Fortnite too other characters which, in one way or another, have to do with "Monstrosities" of various kinds. Just think of Rick Grimes from The Walking Dead, as well as Tom Hardy as Venom or Venom Carnage. Going beyond the “monstrosities”, there was also the release of the skins of Chani Kynes and Paul Atreides of Dune.
Furthermore, Fortnite is at the center of a "creative whirlwind" in the period involved. Indeed, Season 7 of Chapter 2 was chock full of news. To be clear, important skins such as Superman, Batman, Loki, Wonder Woman, Cammy and Guile from Street Fighter (who said Capcom?), Rick Sanchez from Rick and Morty, J Balvin, Will Smith in Bad Boys version, LeBron James in Space Jam 2 version and Ryan Reynolds in Free Guy version. There was also the Ferrari 296 GTB.
In short, in some ways it can be said that it is a "golden period" for Fortnite and Epic Games, since the latter can now afford to include almost anyone in its game. Now, therefore, there are also Chris Redfield e Jill Valentine. Before continuing, I would like to make a clarification: generally the skins that are introduced in this way remain available within the game for a limited time.
Unfortunately, Epic Games often does not communicate exactly when it will remove certain skins, but in this case it is necessary to follow the guide in certain weeks of Season 8 of Chapter 2 of Fortnite, otherwise you risk not being able to reach the goal. In this context, I therefore reiterate that it is necessary to follow this guide in right time frame.
How to unlock Resident Evil Chris Redfield and Jill Valentine in Fortnite
After giving you a "big picture" regarding the arrival of the skin by Chris Redfield and Jill Valentine inside Fortnite, I would say that the time has come to go into detail on the method at your disposal to obtain these "costumes".
In this sense, Epic Games has decided to include the skins of the Resident Evil characters in the Internal game shop. More precisely, the main proposal from this point of view is that relating to Bundle Squadra S.T.A.R.S, proposed a 2.100 V-Buck (in discount from 3.000 V-Buck). In case you didn't know, the latter represent one currency used internally in the game, useful for obtaining aesthetic elements and more.
There are more "ways" to get V-Bucks. The method free consists in exploiting the star system linked to Free Battle Pass, choosing whenever possible the reward related to V-Bucks. This is a procedure that potentially allows you to not spend real money, but in reality it can be difficult to reach your goal in the right amount of time. Indeed, you may also have to use several Seasons of Fortnite to put aside a good number of V-Bucks (yes, the times are very "extended"). For more details, you may want to check out my guide on how to get free V-Buck on Fortnite.
In short, the method by which in the end everyone passes (except those who have kept a good number of V-Bucks aside for a long time) is that linked to micro-transactions. To be clear, the title of Epic Games allows you to buy with real money of the V-Buck packages. Generally the proposals are: 1.000 V-Buck at 7,99 euros, 2.800 V-Buck at 19,99 euros, 5.000 V-Buck at 31,99 euro e 13.500 V-Buck at € 79,99. In short, now you also know how much you should spend to get the aforementioned bundle linked to the Resident Evil characters.
In any case, the procedure to follow to make the purchase varies depending on the platform from which you intend to proceed. However, this is not anything complex: generally just setting a valid payment method e confirm the transaction. So you shouldn't have too many problems, but if in doubt you can still consult my tutorials on how to get V-Buck on Fortnite and how to pay on PlayStation Store.
Now that you know how to proceed, I can go back to Bundle Squadra S.T.A.R.S. In fact, you must know that the latter includes the skin di Chris Redfield, the decorative back Green grass, Jill Valentine skin, the decorative back Right Keys and the loading screen Survival. In short, the bundle includes a little bit of everything a Resident Evil fan could want.
However, within the Fortnite Store there are also other proposals related to the Capcom series. In fact, you can get it individually for 1.500 V-Buck la skin di Chris Redfield (which also includes the Green Grass decorative back), as well as take individually, always for 1.500 V-Buck, Jill Valentine skin (which includes the Giusti Keys decorative back).
That's not all: there is also the STARS Team Equipment Bundle, proposed a 1.300 V-Buck (instead of 1.900 V-Buck). The latter includes the collection tool Hot Dogger, the collection tool Stun rod e l’emote Brolly Stroll. By the way, in case you are interested in a specific item, you may want to consider taking the collection tool Hot Dogger individually a 800 V-Buck. Always 800 V-Buck is the sum required for the collected instrument Stun rod, while you can "take home" the emote Brolly Stroll a 300 V-Buck.
In short, the possibility of choice is certainly not lacking. You just have to choose what is right for you, obviously in right time frame, use i V-Buck and enjoy it all.
