Following in the steps of Deadpool, Aquaman and Wolverine from previous seasons, this is a Season 6 Battle Pass exclusive skin earned not through progression, but a series of special challenges.
By completing these challenges, you’ll unlock the Neymar Jr skin, a handful of associated items, and two Primal forms.

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.
After purchasing the Battle Pass, from April 27th, 2021’s v16.30 update a special series of Neymar Jr quests will be available, unlocking not only the skin, but other associated rewards upon their completion.
To unlock the Neymar Jr skin, you must complete the following quests:
Talk to an Island Soccer Character (unlocks Soccer Ball Emote Toy, Neymar Jr Banner) Complete 3 quests from Island Soccer Players (unlocks Marador Loading Screen) Complete 5 quests from Island Soccer Players (unlocks Neymar Jr Outfit)
You can also unlock a Back Bling and Pickaxe by completing the following:
Drop the Soccer Ball Toy 500 Meters as Neymar Jr (unlocks Joia Trophy Back Bling) Score a Goal with the Soccer Ball Toy as Neymar Jr (unlocks Jaguar Strike Pickaxe)
In short - find a Soccer Character location and complete five of their associated quests over how many matches you need to get Neymar Jr. From there, completing the Soccer Ball objectives using the skin gives you a few bonuses on top. That’s the default skin - there is also two Primal variants to then unlock.. Earning Neymar Jr’s Primal forms works as follows:
To unlock the Shhh emote, you must Eliminate 3 opponents as Neymar Jr. Then, use Shhh with the standard skin for the first Primal form To unlock the Exhibition Neymar Jr skin, and the second Primal form when using Shhh, you must complete a specific number of Epic quests
Ahead of launch, the number of quests required has yet to be revealed - but completing Epic quests also unlocks the following in sequence:
I’m ready! Spray Stealth Shot Emoticon Hang Loose Celebration Emote Aerial Acrobat Glider Exhibition Style of the Neymar Jr Outfit, Jaguar Strike Pickaxe, and Aerial Acrobat Glider
With the above done, you’ll have then unlocked everything. Nicely done!
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.
The specific time is unknown - but recent updates have seen downtime at around 7am to 9am BST, which is as follows in other regions:
UK - 7-9am (BST) Europe - 8-10am (CEST) East Coast US - 2am to 4am (EDT) West Coast US - 11pm on April 26th to 1am (PDT)
Again, this is an estimated guess - and expect downtime to last for a couple of hours, and a patch to download before you can start playing. The Neymar Jr and its associated challenges are then available until the end of Season 6, which is currently scheduled for the start of June - giving you plenty of time to unlock everything. Remember, you need to have the Season 6 Battle Pass to have access to the challenges and unlock the skin, and once you have unlocked it, it’s yours to keep forever.
