If you want to unlock this special skin, then you need to complete a small task in-game while wearing your Lara Croft skin. Though you may have to compete with other players to do so.
Once you’ve completed this task though, the Gold Lara Croft will be yours to wear whenever you like.
Note this particular challenge is no longer able to be completed.
What’s new? Chapter 3 Season 3 has arrived! New additions include Reality Seeds and Saplings and riding animals, along with the new Battle Pass, characters collection and map changes.
It’s a good idea to know how to get XP fast in Fortnite.
First, you need to ensure you’ve unlocked the Lara Croft skin by reaching Tier 15 on the Battle Pass.
After this, or if you’ve unlocked Lara already, head to your locker and ensure she is the current skin you’re wearing.
Now it’s time to head into a match!
To unlock the Gold Lara Croft skin, you need to visit Isla Nublada which is located just off the southern coast of the Fortnite map and directly south of the Flushed Factory.
We recommend completing this task at the beginning of a match, because only one player can pick up the required item per match. This means that you may have to compete with other players to unlock this skin and waiting too long could cause you to lose your opportunity.
Fortnite Chapter 4 Chapter 1 is here, complete with a new augments system, the coming arrival of Geralt and the Ageless Champion to beat! We’ve also got a present list for Winterfest and Cozy Lodge and pizza slice locations.
Meanwhile, learn how to get XP fast, earn the Victory Umbrella, find character locations and earn a Victory Crown.
Once you reach the island, head into the ground floor of the small ruin. Inside you’ll find Orelia, an NPC, and a gold Assault Rifle.
Picking up this Assault Rifle will transform your skin into the Gold Lara Croft skin. The downside, however, is that Orelia will immediately start attacking you and, since she has a Spire Guardian’s Primal Assault Rifle, will most likely kill you.
Luckily, you only need to pick up the gun to unlock the skin, so, even if she does muder you, the Gold Lara Croft skin will still be yours.
If you’re having trouble unlocking this skin due to other players getting there first, we recommend waiting until the Battle Bus begins the match by flying directly over the island. This will allow you to fly down to Isla Nublada straight away and, by landing on the highest point of the ruin, you can easily drop down to grab the gold Assault Rifle.
