On August 16, 2026, Disney Parks and Epic Games launched a first-of-its-kind crossover tying the Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run attraction to Fortnite. The official announcement confirms the tie-in unlocks the Forsworn Trooper outfit, a new Star Wars skin available only to players who ride the attraction in person. It follows Epic’s earlier Star Wars Droid Tycoon crossover, extending a run of Star Wars content through Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 3.
This makes the Forsworn Trooper the first Fortnite cosmetic locked entirely behind a real-world park visit. There’s no V-Bucks purchase, no Battle Pass tier, and no in-game quest that grants it. That distribution choice has already drawn criticism over accessibility, since the qualifying ride exists at only two parks in the United States.
Here’s the full unlock process, where to ride Smugglers Run, and what your options are if a park trip isn’t realistic.
What is the Forsworn Trooper skin?
- Rarity: Epic
- Series: Star Wars Series
- Description: “This salvaged suit of Imperial Remnant stormtrooper armor has been appropriated by the Veta Syndicate.”
The Veta Syndicate is the smuggler faction at the center of Smugglers Gambit, the Fortnite island tied to this crossover. The outfit’s design reuses reworked Imperial Remnant stormtrooper armor, fitting the salvaged, black-market look Epic and Disney built for the collab.
How to Get the Forsworn Trooper Skin
- Open the Disneyland app or My Disney Experience app and sign into your MyDisney account.
- Link that account to your Epic Games account inside the app.
- Accept Hondo’s Mission before boarding the ride.
- Enable Bluetooth and location permissions on your phone, then ride Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run.
- Claim the skin. Eligible riders receive it automatically in Fortnite. Others get a redemption code by email.
Both apps require the linked accounts and enabled permissions to register your ride, so complete the linking step before you get in line.
Where to Ride Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run
The attraction runs at two locations:
- Disneyland Park (Anaheim, California)
- Walt Disney World’s Hollywood Studios (Orlando, Florida)
Disneyland Paris doesn’t currently operate this ride, so guests there have no official path to the skin at this time.
What is Smugglers Gambit?
Smugglers Gambit is the Fortnite island built alongside the physical attraction, both developed on Unreal Engine so Disney could port ride assets directly into the game. On the island, Hondo Ohnaka hands out smuggling missions set on the planet Ord Ryla. Your Smugglers Run ride score converts into in-island credits, which you can spend on gear and leveling up.
Importantly, one reward doesn’t require a park visit. Any Fortnite player who completes a quest on Smugglers Gambit gets the Gambit 2D Loading Screen for free, regardless of location.
Is There Another Way to Get the Forsworn Trooper Skin?
Currently, no. The skin isn’t in the item shop, the Battle Pass, or any in-game quest line. The only confirmed path runs through the physical ride.
Factoring in park admission, which runs roughly $104 to $224, plus travel, the total cost of legitimately earning this skin can climb past $150, and well beyond $1,000 for players traveling from outside the local area. That puts it near the top of Fortnite’s rarest and costliest skins by acquisition difficulty alone.
Some players without park access are turning to third-party marketplaces like Gameflip, eBay, and Eneba, where riders resell their redemption codes. Epic hasn’t sanctioned this resale route, so treat any code purchased this way with caution. There’s no guarantee of delivery, refund, or account safety.
Signing Off
The Forsworn Trooper arrives just days before Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 4, titled Override, which launches on August 20, 2026. Whether Epic revisits this location-gated model for future collabs remains to be seen, but for now, the Smugglers Run tie-in stands as the most physically demanding unlock the game has attempted.
It’s an Epic-rarity, Star Wars Series outfit tied to reworked Imperial Remnant stormtrooper armor, unlocked through the Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run crossover launched on August 16, 2026.
Officially, one: riding Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run at Disneyland or Walt Disney World with linked MyDisney and Epic accounts. Unofficial resale of redemption codes exists but isn’t endorsed by Epic.
Yes. Any player who completes a quest on the Smugglers Gambit island receives the Gambit 2D Loading Screen for free, no travel required. The Forsworn Trooper outfit itself stays tied to the physical ride.
