How to unlock Dune's Chani Kynes and Paul Atreides in Fortnite

Science fiction lovers know well Dune, , a 1965 novel by Frank Herbert, winner of several important prizes in terms of fiction. However, generations advance and often do not even have the time to recover everything that has been published in the past: it is therefore normal that many have discovered Dune only with the 2021 film by Denis Villeneuve.

In fact, there are not a few young people who have appreciated the latter, perhaps going on to deepen the aforementioned novel as well. In short, these types of operations that "draw up" even from the past are always interesting and can expand knowledge of a narrative universe to a very different target than the original one.

Therefore, it does not surprise me that you have followed the same path and that, having learned of the arrival of Dune characters in a game like Fortnite (which you are equally passionate about), now want to know how to unlock Dune's Chani Kynes and Paul Atreides in Fortnite. Well, if that's the case, don't worry: below are all the quick directions you need to reach your goal. Happy reading and have fun!

Preliminary information

Before delving into the procedure on how to unlock Dune's Chani Kynes and Paul Atreides in Fortnite, I think it is interesting to further analyze the context in which it all happened.

Well, in case you don't know, the narrative universe of Dune hasn't been told simply through a single novel, as those with less years on their shoulders might think. Indeed, Frank Patrick Herbert, a well-known American science fiction writer who lived in the twentieth century, during his period of activity he published well 6 books belonging to the Cycle of Dune.

In addition to the novel that started it all, ie Dune from 1965, indeed there are Messiah of Dune (1969) The sons of Dune (1977), theGod Emperor of Dune (1981) The Heretics of Dune (1984) and The refoundation of Dune (1985). Furthermore, the latter have then led to the creation of various derivative works.

For example, many remember the film Dune from 1984 by David Lynch, as well as the TV miniseries Dune — Fate of the 2000 Universe. Furthermore, the most experienced in the gaming field have not forgotten the video games related to Dune, especially the RTS di Westwood Studios, published between 1992 and 2001. Unfortunately, however, following a Frank Herbert’s Dune del 2001, which was such a commercial flop that it contributed to the bankruptcy of the software house that had created it (Cryo Interactive), essentially nobody wanted to re-propose Dune in a videogame sauce.

This at least until 2021: I know, it's not exactly what the most "hardcore" fans wanted, on the contrary, but in fact the arrival of the Dune characters in Fortnite can be seen as a return of the historic narrative universe in the gaming field. In short, Epic Games is "killing more birds with one stone" with the skin of Chani Kynes and Paul Atreides.

In fact, if on the one hand there was the release in Spain on 3 September 2021 of the new film Dune by Denis Villeneuve, which attracted many new fans, on the other there is the nostalgic factor of those who have followed the narrative universe of Dune since well before the last film released in theaters.

In short, as indeed always happens with regard to the Epic Games title, the collaboration with Dune is certainly not "random", both in terms of timing and choice of narrative universe. In any case, it all happened in the context of Fortnite Chapter 8 Season 2, or the one that also saw the arrival of the "costumes" of Rick Grimes of The Walking Dead, Tom Hardy as Venom and Venom Carnage.

Among other things, the previous Season, i.e. the 7 of Chapter 2, was particularly full of novelties, from the Ferrari 296 GTB to the lots of skins: Rick Sanchez from Rick and Morty, Cammy and Guile from Street Fighter, Loki, Wonder Woman, Superman, Batman and J Balvin, just to name a few (believe me, there have been many initiatives).

Focusing in cinema field, among the narrative universes involved we find Bad Boys through Will Smith, Free Guy through Ryan Reynolds and Space Jam through LeBron James. In short, Epic Games is also bringing various characters related to Fortnite into Fortnite popular movies: in this context, therefore, Dune and the actors could not be missing Timothée Chalamet (Paul Atreides) and Zendaya (Chani Kynes).

Net of this, I remember that generally this type of skin remains available on Fortnite only for one certain period of time. What does this mean in practice? It is possible to obtain the "costumes" involved only in a certain promotional period. In this case, reference is made to a few weeks of Season 8 of Chapter 2 of Fortnite, which has an expected “expiration date” of December 5, 2021.

Unfortunately I can't be too precise about the timing with which the Dune-related skins could be removed from the Epic Games title, but I want to clarify that, if you are interested in Chani Kynes and Paul Atreides, it is good follow this guide in the right amount of timeotherwise you may find yourself unable to obtain these “costumes”.

How to unlock Dune's Chani Kynes and Paul Atreides in Fortnite

After explaining the general situation to you, I'd say it's time to take action and actually explain how you can get Dune's Chani Kynes and Paul Atreides skins in Fortnite.

You should know that in this case the method to pass through is the one related to the Shop inside of the Epic Games video game. In fact, the well-known software house headed by Tim Sweeney has chosen to make the skins related to the science fiction universe originally created by Frank Patrick Herbert available only in this way.

If you have a minimum of familiarity with Fortnite, you will therefore have already understood that you have to go through the so-called V-Buck, which is the internal currency of the game. To be clear, these are those "coins" that you can get both for free, through the star system linked to the free Battle Pass, both through the micro-transactions (clearly, the latter is the most suitable method to do everything quickly).

I'll show you immediately i V-Buck package prices: generally the latter are 7,99 € (1.000 V-Buck), 19,99 € (2.800 V-Buck), 31,99 € (5.000 V-Buck) e 79,99 € (13.500 V-Bucks). How is the purchase completed? The procedure varies depending on the platform you usually play Fortnite from, but generally it is enough to set a valid payment method and confirm the transaction.

In any case, if you have any doubts about it, you can refer to my guides on how to pay on PlayStation Store and how to get V-Buck in Fortnite. Also, possibly, if you choose the free road, you might also be interested in consulting my tutorial on how to get free V-Buck in Fortnite (but I warn you: in this case, it could also take several Seasons to put aside a "nice nest egg").

For the rest, now that you know how to proceed with regard to the Fortnite shop, the time has come to explore the proposals made by the Epic Games title as regards the characters related to Dune. Well, the core of the offer is linked to Bundle Dune, proposed a 2.000 V-Buck (it's on sale, typically it would cost 3.000 V-Buck).

The latter includes a bit of everything a Dune enthusiast could want, namely the skin di Chani, the decorative back Chani's purse, skins on Paul Atreides, the decorative back Fremkit and the loading screen Giving Bastone.

If your intention is instead to take the individual skins, there is the “custom” of Chani a 1.500 V-Buck (purchase also includes Chani's Borsello decorative spine). At the same cost, that is 1.500 V-Buck, it is also possible to obtain the single skins on Paul Atreides, which includes the Fremkit back bling.

Furthermore, the Dune Gear Bundle, proposed a 1.500 V-Buck (instead of 2.300 V-Buck). The latter includes the collection tool You love as Creator, the collection tool Twin Blades, the hang glider Ornithopter e l’emote Sands walk.

How do you say? Would you like just one of these aesthetic elements? No problem, though 800 V-Buck you can get the collection tool You love as Creator or hang gliding Ornithopter individually. TO 500 V-Buck instead there is the collection tool Twin Blades, in case that's all you're interested in. Finally, you can make the emote your own Sands walk per 200 V-Buck.

In short, the interesting proposals related to Dune are certainly not lacking in the Fortnite Shop, at least in the right promotional periods. You just have to choose which aesthetic elements are right for you.

How to use Chany Kines and Paul Atreides skins in Fortnite

Let me guess: thanks to the indications in the previous chapter, you understood how to get the skins of Chani Kynes and Paul Atreides in Fortnite, but you are a new player of the Epic Games title and therefore do not have the faintest idea of how to apply them and show them off in a classic match in this last? Don't worry: you'll immediately know how to do it.

Once you start the game and select the mode Battle Royale, just go to the section LOCKER of the main menu. Here the first box located at the top left allows you to choose the Costumes. Select, therefore, the latter and choose the skin of your interest, whether it is that of Chani Kynes or that of Paul Atreides.

Before exiting, remember to press the key SAVE AND EXIT, so apply the changes. For the rest, now you're ready to "show off" the news you've just obtained in front of the other players participating in the games.
