The lobby throbbed and the music kept cutting through my headphones; I could feel teams edging toward Fortune’s Stronghold before the first circle. I landed on the roof, heard a distant bassline—then saw Lil’ Uzi Vert’s flag snapping in the wind. If you want his cosmetics, timing and a little luck decide whether you leave with the skin or with a story.
Fortune’s Stronghold bristles with guards and rival teams. How to Get Lil’ Uzi Vert Skin in Fortnite
I’ve chased limited collabs for years, and you’re going to want a plan, not blind hope. You can get Lil’ Uzi Vert’s looks two ways: find the rare Solid Gold variant during Treasure Hunters matches, or buy the set from the Item Shop. One path tests your map sense and nerves; the other tests your wallet and your timing with rotations in the Item Shop.
When was the Lil’ Uzi Vert skin released?
Short answer: Epic Games dropped the collab with the Treasure Hunters Mini Season update 43.10 on November 12, 2026. That update placed Lil’ Uzi Vert as a boss at Fortune’s Stronghold (now often called Lil’ Uzi’s Stronghold) so players can fight him for unique drops, or try their luck with Treasure Hunt chests for the Solid Gold variant.
I opened a Treasure Hunt chest at dawn and nearly fell out of my chair. How to get the Solid Gold Lil’ Uzi Vert skin
You can find the Solid Gold Lil’ Uzi Vert skin inside Treasure Hunt chests. It’s extremely rare—finding one can feel like finding a golden needle in a haystack—but players do record them every session. Use movement tools like the Wayfinder or the Chester sprite to speed your search and clear more chests per match.
- Prioritize landing hotspots with a cluster of chests near your drop point so you can open several before the first fights.
- Take the Wayfinder or Chester Fortnite Sprite to cover distance faster; every extra chest raises your odds.
- If you spot another team approaching the Stronghold, decide fast: fight for the boss or disengage to keep hunting chests elsewhere.

Can I get Lil’ Uzi Vert’s SMG by defeating him as a boss?
Yes. Lil’ Uzi Vert appears as a boss at his Stronghold; beating him drops an SMG that isn’t normally in the regular loot pool. If you plan to fight him, bring healing, burst weapons for close range, and a plan for dealing with third-party teams. The boss fight is risky but can pay off with both cosmetics (if you’re lucky) and unique weapons.
If you’re low on cash, consider Fortnite Crew for steady monthly rewards and V-Buck bundles; Epic has been tweaking Crew benefits so that paying players get more reliable store value. Use community resources—maps on sites like FN.gg and videos from creators who post Stronghold spawn guides—to time your runs.
So are you going to chase the Solid Gold drop in Treasure Hunters or buy your way into Lil’ Uzi Vert’s tour look?
