Fortnite has had a major, major update today, adding the Air Royale event, a legendary infantry rifle and you should uhhhh really go check out Loot Lake right about now.
Besides that, we have our usual mining of leaked Fortnite cosmetics, with the exception that some of these have actually gone live already with a store refresh that coincides with the Air Royale event. These leaks are courtesy mainly of @Lucas7Yoshi and @HYPEX.
The store has been updated to include the following:
Supersonic (Legendary)
Here we have four skins for the price of one, as buying the Supersonic kit here will unlock four different pilot styles for an entire squad, even if clearly the best one is the skull one and the others are not even close. It’s pricey, but a better value than most legendary skins considering that it’s a four pack. I want it.
Stealth Black (Common)
Dogfight (Common)
These two wraps have hit the store, and though they can be applied to anything, clearly the goal is to put them on planes for this Air Royale event. I mean, how can you pass up a jet black skin for a plane? I mean honestly, that one is worth buying for pretty much everything, if you ask me, all vehicles and guns. And for $3, you’re probably going to get a lot of use out of it.
Gemini
Now we move on to other leaks including a new, techno-futuristic skin called Gemini that has one clear alternate style to it. I’m not sure if it automatically comes with both versions or if these are two separate skins or if you have to unlock one, but I like it, and it should probably hit the store soon.
Surefire (Common)
This one is a reward for the Air Royale event, I believe and is clearly not all that much to look at.
Other Wraps
A few other wraps have leaked, some of which may be tied to Air Royale, some of which may not be.
So far, this appears to be it, a combination of stuff that’s both live in the store, earnable in Air Royale or yet to come in a future update. We have not seen any huge skin leaks for a while now, implying Epic is being trickier about hiding them or there just aren’t quite as many coming up before the end of the season here.
Also, don’t forget that this is the first week that you’re able to get the Ruin skin after completing enough challenges to unlock him. He has his own set of challenges, but what they unlock for him I’m not quite clear on it. Really looking forward to seeing what alternate styles or progressive changes we may see with his skin.
See you out there.
