The Arknights: Endfield crossover goes live at 8 p.m. ET. Perlica costs 1,500 V-Bucks in the Item Shop — or nothing extra, if you pick up an eligible Endfield add-on through the Epic Games Store instead.
Epic Games and publisher Gryphline are putting Perlica from Arknights: Endfield into Fortnite. The Outfit hits the Item Shop on August 14 at 8 p.m. ET and stays for exactly one week. Epic notes the item may return at some later date.
| Shop opens | August 14, 2026, 8:00 p.m. ET |
| Shop closes | August 21, 2026, 8:00 p.m. ET |
| Price | 1,500 V-Bucks |
| Alternative | Buy an eligible Endfield add-on on the Epic Games Store, dated from January 22, 2026 |
| Automatic grant | From August 14, 2026, 8:00 p.m. ET |
The Epic Games Store route
Perlica is not primarily a shop skin. She is structured as a gift-with-purchase promotion. Anyone who has bought an eligible Arknights: Endfield item through the Epic Games Store since January 22, 2026 gets the Outfit granted to their Fortnite account automatically, retroactively, with nothing else required.
The wording matters. Arknights: Endfield is free-to-play, but the promotion requires purchasing a paid add-on. The eligible list includes the Origeometry bundles in Pile, Bag, Box and Crate sizes, plus Protocol Customized and the Monthly Materials Bundle. The cheapest of those runs $12.99, while 1,500 V-Bucks currently costs $22.29.
So the add-on route is mathematically the better deal, and it leaves you with premium currency for Endfield on top. The only requirement is that the purchase runs through the same Epic account you play Fortnite on.
Epic has also covered the people who move too fast. Buy the Perlica Outfit in the shop, then buy an eligible add-on afterwards, and you receive a one-time 1,500 V-Bucks credit rather than a duplicate skin.
Who Perlica actually is
Perlica is part of the Arknights: Endfield starting roster, which makes her a character essentially every player of the game knows. In fiction she serves as Supervisor and official spokesperson for Endfield Industries, responsible for advancing Protocol-Originium technology and running the company vessel Dijiang. While the Endministrator was in hibernation, she led the Crisis Team.
Mechanically she is a five-star Electric Caster, fighting with an Arts Unit, sometimes described as an Orbiter. Her Battle Skill spreads Electric Infliction in an area, while her Combo Skill triggers Electrification, which raises Arts damage taken for the entire squad. That makes her a dependable enabler in Electric compositions without ever threatening to break the meta. Jane Jackson provides her English voice, known for the female Rover in Wuthering Waves and Shining in the original Arknights, with Shion Wakayama handling the Japanese track.
Endfield is buying reach
For Hypergryph and Gryphline this is a marketing exercise first. Arknights: Endfield launched January 22, 2026 on PS5, PC, iOS and Android, trading the original’s tower-defense structure for a real-time action RPG with open-world exploration and base building. It arrived on roughly 35 million pre-registrations.
A Fortnite skin is still a different order of visibility. The pattern is familiar — Epic ran the same mechanism for Crimson Desert, and the recent Honkai: Star Rail collaboration skins also landed at 1,500 V-Bucks.
The parts nobody has confirmed
It remains unclear whether Epic will offer a full bundle with Back Bling, Pickaxe and reactive effects tied to her electric theme. The community expects it, but nothing has been announced. Equally unclear is whether more Endfield Operators follow. That will come down to how Perlica performs across her one week on the shelf.
