Fortnite is back with its tradition of rewarding players with free cosmetics through its upcoming summer event, Party Up: Celestial Strike. These limited-time quests give you the chance to get free skin and eight other rewards without spending a single V-Buck. Read on for a quick breakdown of how to get Iridia Vayne Skin in Fortnite from the Party Up: Celestial Strike quest event.
What is the Party Up: Celestial Strike Event?
Party Up: Celestial Strike is Fortnite’s newest quest-based event that encourages playing with friends. According to reliable Fortnite leaker iFireMonkey, the event will launch within the next 1-2 days (around May 21st, 2025) and run until June 7th, 2025, coinciding with the start of Season 3. This gives you a little over two weeks to complete all challenges and claim your rewards.
How to Get Iridia Vayne Skin in Fortnite
Unlike some previous Fortnite events that required complicated tasks, the Celestial Strike event keeps things refreshingly simple:
- Play Fortnite with friends in party mode.
- Earn XP in eligible game modes (Core modes and Creator experiences).
- Accumulate enough XP to unlock all nine rewards and get Iridai Vayne Skin at the end of the quest.
The most important thing to understand is that you must play with friends to progress in these quests. Solo play won’t count toward your Celestial Strike XP total, making this a truly social event. Each reward requires you to earn 60,000 XP with friends in your party. To claim all nine rewards, including the Iridia Vayne skin, you’ll need to accumulate a total of 540,000 XP.
All Rewards in the Party Up: Celestial Strike Event Quest
The event offers nine free cosmetic items that you can add to your locker. Here’s the complete list of rewards in order of unlock:
| Reward Level | XP Required | Item |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 60,000 XP |  “Life Goes On” Jamtrack |
| 2 | 120,000 XP |  Victory Plume Spray |
| 3 | 180,000 XP |  Opaline Slasher Pickaxe |
| 4 | 240,000 XP |  Confident Iridia Spray |
| 5 | 300,000 XP |  Peacock’s Dream Wrap |
| 6 | 360,000 XP |  Opaline Scabbard Back Bling |
| 7 | 420,000 XP |  High Five Emoticon |
| 8 | 480,000 XP |  Origami Battalion Emote |
| 9 | 540,000 XP |  Iridia Vayne Skin |
The Iridia Vayne skin is clearly the highlight of this collection, but don’t overlook the other items. The Opaline Slasher Pickaxe and matching Scabbard Back Bling will pair perfectly with the skin, giving you a complete set.

The Party Up: Celestial Strike event ends on June 7th, just as the new season begins. Waiting too long could cost you the Iridia Vayne skin, which is exclusive to this event. Based on past events, you’ll need around 2–3 hours of daily playtime if you start on day one to hit the 540,000 XP goal. Starting late means more grind each day to catch up. Since this skin may not return, missing out now could mean it’s gone for good, so you’d better start grinding soon!
