It’s a light week where leaked cosmetics are concerned. This isn’t too surprising: for months now, dataminers have been going every Fortnite: Battle Royale update with a fine-toothed comb to find every weapon and outfit that could be coming to the game in the future, as well as all manner of assets pointing to new map development or game modes. Epic has been getting wise, however, and has been encrypting some of its skins, and so rounds of leaked cosmetics aren’t quite as fruitful as they once were.
That doesn’t mean there aren’t some surprisingly good skins in the mix here, however. Let’s take a look at what we can find, with collation credit to Fortnite Intel.
Insight/Longshot: A pair of sniper themed skins that are actually pretty cool, and as rare-tier skins they shouldn’t be all that expensive, either. They’re done up in nonsensical ghillie suits, as if they’re hiding in a sort of teal arctic or a fresh-raked pile of fall leaves. They’ll be handy for cosplaying streamers showing off their sniper skills
Scope Satchel/sight sling: Two back blings to go with the above skins. Like their skins they’re pretty clean, pretty simple, but still fairly stylish. Mix and match for an even less effective camouflage.
Lamp: Because what sniper doesn’t need a little light to help them see all those fussy dials and such? Actually, I’m not so sure this has much to do with the above set. It is, however, a lamp, and I can get behind that. I love lamp.
Mime Time/Phone It In/Scorecard/Showstopper: What you see is what you get with these emotes: not much guesswork as to what they’ll look like in action. We’ve got a guy miming an invisible wall, a saxophone, a scorecard and what looks like a sort of a “woot woot” sort of fist move.
And that’s what we’re working with this week: short and simple. I have a feeling we might see some more before season’s end, particularly a female werewolf to match the tier-100 Dire skin, something we usually see in the last week of a season. There are only a few days left in Season 6, so let’s see what happens.
