It seemed as if Fortnite was doing a good job of keeping its future skins from being leaked for a while, but that has apparently changed during today’s v7.20 patch, which has brought a flood of cosmetics as the leakers have struck back.
It feels like Epic’s budget is dramatically increasing for the quality of its skins over time, and there are a ton of memorable must-buys in here. There’s no telling when all of these will come to the Fortnite store, but we do know their names and rarities already. Leaks come from @Lucas7Yoshi.
Malcore (Epic)
Man this guy is an epic skin? See what I mean? This is the kind of skin that if my mom saw it when I was growing up she would have stopped making me play Fortnite, but as a form of rebellion 20 years later I will be buying it once it gets here. Those wings alone are worth the asking price, and that’s even with a lot of wings showing up on skins lately.
Jaeger (Epic)
It appears we’re not done with Vikings yet, though these are more like…ice cavemen, a bit, if you ask me. I like this dude and his giant sabretooth tiger shoulderpad.
Fyra (Epic)
Are these two in the same tribe as the folks from Viking Village, or is this something new? I do wonder if they’re the “common folk” rebelling against the tyranny of the Ice Castle or something in the lore.
Ice Queen (Legendary)
Speaking of the Ice Castle, it appears the Ice King has a soulmate, the Ice Queen. It’s no surprise seeing as Epic does male and female versions of all its skins, and I suppose this one here could be a direct rival to Glimmer, the Maleficent to her Snow White, as it were.
Verge (Uncommon)
Moving past the ice stuff, we get into a bit more boring skins here, like Man In Tactical Gear.
Tech Ops (Rare)
And here is Man in Night Vision, which is slightly better.
Cabbie (Uncommon)
And here is Default Skin as Cab Driver.
Cobalt (Epic)
Okay hold the phone, this one is actually awesome. Its tagline is “Search and Destroy” so I wonder if this might be another AIM robot/android. I want him badly.
Axes – I mean, literally all of these are awesome. I am guessing you can match all of them up to their respective owners from the list above here. Not sure on rarities yet.
Gliders – There’s now a freaking helicopter glider, which is absolutely the best one of the bunch here and one I will be buying immediately provided it’s not super expensive as a legendary, which I don’t think it will be.
Back Bling – Love those shields from the cavemen. I hope they’re bigger than some of the past shields we’ve seen before (cough Red Knight).
Wraps – Some store exclusive wraps will you know Epic is going to keep rolling out forever now.
