How to get free XDefiant skins
Ubisoft GamesBeing a free-to-play title, XDefiant is loaded with micro-transactions, but here’s a list of all the free skins you can get in the game, including the three free Eruption skins announced alongside Season 1.
After a successful launch, XDefiant will enter Season 1 on July 2. To celebrate this, the developers have announced three free skins that will be up for grabs for a limited time.
Because XDefiant is already a free-to-play title, most of its cosmetics are locked behind micro-transactions, similar to Fortnite and Overwatch 2. As a result, you wouldn’t want to miss out on any free skins that are usually available for a short duration.
Here’s a list of all the free skins in XDefiant and how to claim them, including the three Eruption cosmetics.

How to claim free skins in XDefiant
After you’ve claimed your free XDefiant skin from Twitch Drops, PSN store, Referral Program, or any other source, follow these steps to use the weapon with the cosmetic in-game:
- Launch XDefiant.
- On the main screen, select Loadouts.
- Go to Custom Loadouts where you can build 10 unique loadouts. If you just want to check out a skin, it is recommended to edit a loadout that you don’t use primarily.
- Select Edit and click on Skins right beside the Attachments menu.
