Want the Unreal skins but I don't want to re-install the game on Epic

Is there a way I can launch the epic games version using my files already on steam or am I forced to download the game again on epic?

Please keep us updated, since I kinda want to just get immediately rid of EGS if I can just use the skins on the Steam version.

But can we install the game from the epic store while keeping the game installed from steam on our pc?

Or there might be some problems?

Unfortunately, there is no apparent work around for Steam users. The good thing is, once you download the game through the Epic Store, and claim the bundle (is free), website says you only need to do it once, so i assume you keep your stuff even while playing on steam, and then you can say goodbye to the epic launcher. Im a huge fan of the original Unreal Tournament, so im gonna go through the hurdle of downloading game through epic.

As i was typing this, i am installing the epic launcher and downloading warframe. Hopefully i only need to do this once and then go back to Steam with my free stuff
