To unlock the Solid Snake outfit in Fortnite, you need to purchase the Chapter 5 Season 1 battle pass (950 V-Bucks), and then likely complete featured quests to add Solid Snake to your line-up of outfits.

As part of the Gaming Legends Series, Solid Snake should be available to unlock by completing special mid-season battle pass quests from 23rd January 2024 up until Chapter 5 Season 1 comes to an end on 8th March 2024.
