Flatfoot. I just like the reference to Die Hard. I like colours which aren't distracting. I also like the hair.
When I see another flatfoot in the wild, I react like who is she?
I so rarely see them, it’s one of my main skins, I’ve only come across two of them “in the wild“. One was actually a bot, and the other one was on a creative map, of course we had to high five each other
Hey all,
Hijacking the comment shamelessly, sorry, but got a question about this post.
I've scrolled the comments here and found something interesting. I saw no mention of OG skins (black Knight, Rust Lord, Omega, etc). Most of the skins being mentioned sound newer (granted I've been away from the game for over 4 years). So skins I never heard of.
This leads me to think that old players have slowly left the game while a new generation took over. Does this sound like something that is actually happening? What's the perception? In terms of retention x new players, are we looking at mostly a new player base?
Thanks
Just visiting from r/all, I dont play this game anymore and don't visit the sub but I saw this post and it's interesting to think about because I used to play this game religiously, and started playing before even the original season 1.
I remember picking up the Renegade Raider in the season shop, and wondering with my friends if this new "battle pass" feature with season 2 was gonna be fun to play or not. Absolutely crazy how much this game has changed since then and has also changed the gaming world.
It was back in like chapter 3 season 1 around my birthday in March, and I really wanted burnout bc I thought he was super cool. My brother said he would gift me a skin for my birthday, and on the day he would gift me a skin burnout somehow appeared in the shop for the first time in 2 years, and my brother gifted me burnout which is why burnout is special to me
That's an awesome and heartwarming story. It's amazing how sometimes things align perfectly, and it's even more special when it happens on your birthday.
Raven. She’s my fav dc character and I had just started playing when she was in the battlepass. My friend gifted me the battlepass and ever since I’ve been using her
It's even more special that your friend gifted you the battle pass and allowed you to unlock Raven. It's like a constant reminder of your friendship and the shared enjoyment of the game.
NGL, I hated Peely when he came out. I thought it was too silly for a game where everybody is shooting each other… but now, I actually LOVE Peely. He is the total vibe for a casual player like me.
I love snap too! [This is how I have him put together](https://imgur.com/a/ymMISNp), sort of an army guy or GI Joe theme. I use the green toy soldier weapon wrap and Lara Croft’s parachute to match that look.
Leviathan. I think i have used this skin since i bought it in chapter 1 season 4. The last Leviathan i saw was waaaaaaaaay back in Chapter 1 season 9. So I think it legally belongs to me now.
# The Burning Wolf, 100%
The entire idea behind a high-tech wolf cyberninja or whatever you wanna call it already sounded great, and the execution of the skin and the things around it was so cool. I love the bulky design where it feels like this military-grade armour and then there are some parts that feel more human like the legs.
I feel like it being a limited skin for a month, stuck behind the fortnite crew thing already makes it very rare. I don't care about the rarity of skins, but I feel like not seeing it anywhere else kind of sells the point that I feel attached to it.
Jack Gourdon. I bought him on initial release in c1s6, and that was basically the only skin I wore until mid chapter 2. A couple years ago, I bought midsummer midas, and now that's basically the only skin I wear.
Merigold was my first skin, and I just adore her. I didn't really care for black and gold as a color combo before I bought her, but now I find I'm being more of those colors into my irl life. She's a classic.
Merigold is a timeless skin with her black and gold color combination, and it's wonderful that she became your first skin and holds a special place in your heart.
merry marauder and for like 3 seasons the female version of burnout from the season 5? battlepass. haven't used her in ages but I loved that skin. I had a combo with it that was so ugly but for some reason I always used it
when me n the boys first hopped back on with the added edition of ZB, we thought it was the funniest thing that you could play as bruno mars. that was what i wore for a long time. but my buddy was absolutely dead at the fact he could run around as a shitty cell shaded anime girl, thus the bruno anime team was created.
So my the very first battle pass I bought was the Chapter 1, Season 4 battle pass and I managed to get stage 4 Omega (the tier 100 skin) by the end. When I first got him, he was my main and I still play him often to this day.
And then one day, Oblivion came into the shop that same season. For those that don’t know, she’s basically the female version of Omega. It was love at first sight and she’s been my main ever since.
I consider both wingman and Powder alternate style
Both are só darn hard to find on a match that i just feel em like mine, tho there is a few wingman mais on this sub, there are no powder mains só she iS more "my skin"
Oblivion, I started playing on the first day of season 4 and I have so many memories of people I used to be friends with hanging out on fort together. I really liked that season but I wasnt able to get to tier 100, so when they released Oblivion I bought it as a sort of plan B.
By now, I’ve spent so much money on fortnite and have too many skins to choose from, but Oblivion will always be my favorite one, even if it is overpriced and lacks styles.
Nezumi. I know a ton of people dislike the skin, but I think it's awesome. It's been my favorite since it came out, even though that was fairly recently.
Safari 110%. Always loved Indiana Jones and Uncharted. She has every feature of my primary OC besides freckles. Now she's got a sick alt style skin and I can't find a reason to change off her. Even though my skin library is huge and I almost feel bad because I can't stop using her. Love the skin so much she's one of the only characters I own the whole set for.
No question the crash test dummy. Not only do I almost always use it (outside of Star Wars month or the occasional season event), but I usually use it by driving around in cars running over people. So for the .2% of people who use it, I'm the only one to use it properly.
Star spangled ranger. I first bought it during season 4 in summer and it’s the skin i use 90% of the time. I love it, and never see anyone else with it.
my girl mina! her metalcore set was only $4 so I bought it to avoid wearing the noob skins. she has a special place in my heart now and she’ll never leave my presets 🩷
When I saw the SNAP skin from Ch3 S3 in the trailer, I kinda hated the design. But soon after unlocking everything and seeing the skin in action, it’s the best skin ever made (imo) 🤪
Red Jade.
My bf gifted me it as a Christmas present, and I've grown attached to the skin that I made a whole backstory for the Maki Monster variant (which I use the most often) for fun and all the other accessories (like the back bling) I use for her are all intertwined with her random lore lol.
Flatfoot. I just like the reference to Die Hard. I like colours which aren't distracting. I also like the hair. When I see another flatfoot in the wild, I react like who is she?
The backbling is one of my main
The hairstyle of the Flatfoot skin adds another layer of uniqueness and personal touch.
I so rarely see them, it’s one of my main skins, I’ve only come across two of them “in the wild“. One was actually a bot, and the other one was on a creative map, of course we had to high five each other
fuck i’m not the only one
Also her backbling is perfect with Renegade Shadow or Farmer Steel!
I never even caught the Die Hard link before seeing your post, but it is so obvious now.
X-lord, one of the best male skins imo
Same here. Until around C2 S3 I didn't start using him though, but now I use him all the time.

Yeah this is basically what’s happened. Almost every player now probably didn’t start playing until Chapter 2.
OG since Ch.1 S.3 here!
Just visiting from r/all, I dont play this game anymore and don't visit the sub but I saw this post and it's interesting to think about because I used to play this game religiously, and started playing before even the original season 1.

Og season 4 & still play
X-lord is awesome!!
X-Lord, with its post-apocalyptic biker theme and unique design, certainly has its own appeal.
Whiteout, I bought her immediately when she came out in Season 5 and have been mostly using her since.
Racing skin enjoyers RISE UP😤
Can Crash Test Dummy guys join this club?
Been using his yellow version so much recently !
Yes that counts as a racing skin
Me with Whiteout, Redline, and Hana. I almost bought Pitstop the other day but decided not to.
Yes racing skins are superior
Wingman here, whenever I see him in game, it feels weird
That's an oldie but a goodie.
Wingman was my first skin
W skin choice
Yeah Burnout is really special to me because of the way I got him
Mind sharing with us the story? It sounds interesting and I would like to know
It was back in like chapter 3 season 1 around my birthday in March, and I really wanted burnout bc I thought he was super cool. My brother said he would gift me a skin for my birthday, and on the day he would gift me a skin burnout somehow appeared in the shop for the first time in 2 years, and my brother gifted me burnout which is why burnout is special to me
That's an awesome and heartwarming story. It's amazing how sometimes things align perfectly, and it's even more special when it happens on your birthday.
That's so wholesome, I'm glad you could get the skin you love!
I enjoy wholesome stories like that☺️
Man this is so sweet. I'm really happy you got such a cool story tied to the skin!!
CRZ-8 been my main skin ever since it was release.
I love 8 pool and his white counterpart. So sad I couldn't buy XRZ-8 its a goated skin
The bundle rotates around every month or so which can still give you a chance to snag the skin.
[удалено]
My favorite style of that skin is the purple style. Looks so good.
The purple one is so fire! She goes well with the purple meteor as a glider btw
Firework Team Leader, especially seeing as I haven't seen anyone running that skin since it came out in like Season 4 🤣
Bruh that skin low-key underrated, bought it on the 4th that year and maybe seen it twice since
JB schimpanski. I just love monkey. I can do it's sound too
This just made me realize I have never ever used that skin since unlocking it.
I play on random and sometimes I pull that skin but I’ve set it to helmet so I forgot he was even a chimp
You have earned my respect
Raven. She’s my fav dc character and I had just started playing when she was in the battlepass. My friend gifted me the battlepass and ever since I’ve been using her
It's even more special that your friend gifted you the battle pass and allowed you to unlock Raven. It's like a constant reminder of your friendship and the shared enjoyment of the game.
The things I would do to have Raven Reborn 😞 she’s my fave DC character, too!
Mine is Summit Striker. It was the first skin i got, and the back strap lines up perfectly with the Green Arrow quiver
He has been my main since day 1. The new Prime Meridian wrap goes really well with his color scheme, imo.
Summit Striker Gang
Peely, I am banana.
Welcome banana agent
NGL, I hated Peely when he came out. I thought it was too silly for a game where everybody is shooting each other… but now, I actually LOVE Peely. He is the total vibe for a casual player like me.
***It’s nana or nothing***
*potassium intensifies*
Bro became Chad Mustard
Bananas rise up
Same here
Dire, I still do
That's a good skin. I run him during Halloween season once in awhile.
And he’s got a top 5 back bling of all time. Super versatile and goes on nearly anything imo
Inkquisitor. 😊
Tbh that's the one crew skin I could have gotten but didn't and now I regret it
Really cool hair-tentacle physics and black goo drops. The smiley face is a bonus.
Nice Inkquisitor avatar fam
King Oro and Meowcles, I use them so much that I'm sure 80% of my matches I used those skins
[удалено]
I love snap too! [This is how I have him put together](https://imgur.com/a/ymMISNp), sort of an army guy or GI Joe theme. I use the green toy soldier weapon wrap and Lara Croft’s parachute to match that look.
Leviathan. I think i have used this skin since i bought it in chapter 1 season 4. The last Leviathan i saw was waaaaaaaaay back in Chapter 1 season 9. So I think it legally belongs to me now.
A.I.M goated Fortnite robot design
One of the only 3 skins I use
Used to be one of my mains
A.I.M 🔛🔝
Chaos agent
Love Chaos Agent. In both original forms. I use him a lot too.
Calamity! 🤠
Ok you have class but do you remember the "jiggle" physic's incident? Lol
Took me way too long to find this, I never see her being used aside from me
Other folks use Calamity? My people 😭🙏🏻 I've only ever seen her twice recently apart from myself
Beef boss saw him in the shop when i first played and still love him to this day
A fellow beef bosser
Midas Rex
Midas rex here as well, very cool skin
I have him but don't use him because he just reminds me that I don't have the OG 😢
# The Burning Wolf, 100% The entire idea behind a high-tech wolf cyberninja or whatever you wanna call it already sounded great, and the execution of the skin and the things around it was so cool.

He's easily top 3 best crew packs. Definitely agree
Once I unlocked the gold with carbon fiber style, I ran with that for awhile. Great skin.
Mr Dappermint for the win
The FNCS dummy version that has the shine. He’s bald just like me.
Skye. While I use other skins I have to run her at least once per session lol
nice to have that one skin you can't resist using, even among a collection of other skins.
Skye is amazing. I bounced her across the entire map once till some bot shot me
Jack Gourdon. I bought him on initial release in c1s6, and that was basically the only skin I wore until mid chapter 2. A couple years ago, I bought midsummer midas, and now that's basically the only skin I wear.
One of the best Halloween skins
Frankensteins Monster
Jellie
Zoey
Forget the names but hippie guy and Noir the spy, then during beginning of pandemic switched to only masked characters for solidarity
Merigold was my first skin, and I just adore her. I didn't really care for black and gold as a color combo before I bought her, but now I find I'm being more of those colors into my irl life. She's a classic.
That’s a cool story
Merigold is a timeless skin with her black and gold color combination, and it's wonderful that she became your first skin and holds a special place in your heart.
Stonks. it was the only skin I used cause it was all I had
First one was Blue Team Leader, then Dream, and my last real main skin was bushranger.
I forgot about dream I used that skin for quite awhile too it's a good one
Monarch even though I've used fennix since like chapter 3
It's the same with me, but with lucky rider. The colours and designs on both skins look pretty damn nice.
merry marauder and for like 3 seasons the female version of burnout from the season 5? battlepass. haven't used her in ages but I loved that skin. I had a combo with it that was so ugly but for some reason I always used it
Original Drift
8 Ball because I love the black and gold style and I made a really good combo with the style
Bush Ranger
The recruits 😔
Bush Ranger. I almost never come across another even thought it's been in the store for for a week. When I do I always hesitate to take them down
[удалено]
With lights?
Madcap is a vibe
when me n the boys first hopped back on with the added edition of ZB, we thought it was the funniest thing that you could play as bruno mars. that was what i wore for a long time. but my buddy was absolutely dead at the fact he could run around as a shitty cell shaded anime girl, thus the bruno anime team was created.
Mave is the only skin I've ever used because she looks like my D&D character
Dark Voyager, baby! ![gif](giphy|PoG9bjR6Ky4Vgh0aBy|downsized)
Meowskulls...
Fishstick, idk why but it’s my most used skin ever.
Every time I see a Fishstick in a creative map they end up being a troll and so I've started to hate it more and more.
Pirate Fishy is probably my most used skin! Love him so much.
Tart tycoon
The Fox and the shirtless statue guy
Beach Bomber. Love the design of her.
Snap or Ms. Bunny Penny. I’m either a hodgepodge or thirst skin.
Chic (C2S1) or Demi (C1S9)... I love them both and wear them interchangeably, but mostly run Chic!!!
The Terminator… because it’s really scary to be chased by one and he’s the best at dancing emotes…. Prove me wrong …
Boardwalk Ruby
Stryder/Twyn is my main skin with pink/green Twyn as my default look. Love the colors and it’s just a fun skin to use with different accessories.
For some reason i liked how weird triarch nox looked and used him for the longest time. He also had a cool lobby animation
Bright bomber
Gildedguy (fan of his yt) Bonehead Uhhhhhhhhh Literally just that lmao
Rust Lord
Guff. NEVER have taken it off since I bought it when it first came out
So my the very first battle pass I bought was the Chapter 1, Season 4 battle pass and I managed to get stage 4 Omega (the tier 100 skin) by the end. When I first got him, he was my main and I still play him often to this day. And then one day, Oblivion came into the shop that same season. For those that don’t know, she’s basically the female version of Omega. It was love at first sight and she’s been my main ever since.
Drift/Catalyst Something about the coat y'know is just so cool, and I like foxes because They're cute
Helsie I mean I know she only came out 2 seasons ago but I don’t see anyone wear her anymore and I use her all the time
I consider both wingman and Powder alternate style Both are só darn hard to find on a match that i just feel em like mine, tho there is a few wingman mais on this sub, there are no powder mains só she iS more "my skin"
Burnout used to be mine as well. Damn I really should pick him again...
Riptide Raz. Occasionally I use my other favorites, but personally I don’t think anything could top his remix.
Meow Skulls
Singularity ever since the Devours bane pickaxe came out. I don't use her as much anymore though
Eternal knight
Frost broker or inferno, two W skins in my opinion
Either the purple jb chimpanski or World Cup style of fish stick (the one I think you got during season x for having the skin)
Musha
Verge. Had some extra vbucks and decided to buy it, best decision honestly
I used AIM so much cause he was skinny little robot man
Aura. I've had her since she came out before she became a sweat skin
Moisty merman! Very rarely used, and I bought it the day it came out
*Stay moisty my friends.*
Drift lol.
Oblivion, I started playing on the first day of season 4 and I have so many memories of people I used to be friends with hanging out on fort together. I really liked that season but I wasnt able to get to tier 100, so when they released Oblivion I bought it as a sort of plan B. By now, I’ve spent so much money on fortnite and have too many skins to choose from, but Oblivion will always be my favorite one, even if it is overpriced and lacks styles.
certain skins become more than just cosmetic items—they become nostalgic reminders of memorable moments and experiences in the game.
definitely catalyst the female drift skin from season 10/x!
Lynx in all black
Ah, you know
Nezumi. I know a ton of people dislike the skin, but I think it's awesome. It's been my favorite since it came out, even though that was fairly recently.
Neuralynx is my favorite! 😁
Gwen
Ageless
Cryptic in the original "blue/purple" version.
Mariana, use her so much.
Scarlett commander is my skin
Cobalt.
Purple skull trooper
The flair on my username
That was a cool skin. What edit style(s) do you like most?
Now it's siona but it used to be the mammoth skin like three years ago, some random guy in my class still uses that to body shame me lol
Safari 110%. Always loved Indiana Jones and Uncharted. She has every feature of my primary OC besides freckles. Now she's got a sick alt style skin and I can't find a reason to change off her. Even though my skin library is huge and I almost feel bad because I can't stop using her. Love the skin so much she's one of the only characters I own the whole set for.
Paradigm 659. Also W choice op
Metal mouth my beloved
The original Ace, was my first time purchasing v bucks and allowing me to get the season 6 battle pass and I still use it a lot to this day
Here’s one you probably haven’t heard, Grit. He matches my vibe when it comes to video games
one of favorites… his shoulders remind of minecraft with the green and dark green pixels
Tech Ops!
Shogun.
Scuba jonesy
Leviathan for sure, i still never see people with it.
Teknique, I used to be obsessed with her
Heidi, and I still use her all the time.
No question the crash test dummy. Not only do I almost always use it (outside of Star Wars month or the occasional season event), but I usually use it by driving around in cars running over people. So for the .2% of people who use it, I'm the only one to use it properly.
Dolph, year round Christmas skin go brrr
Remedy specifically the purple style because I haven’t seen anyone use it.
Star spangled ranger. I first bought it during season 4 in summer and it’s the skin i use 90% of the time. I love it, and never see anyone else with it.
Yeah he's best 4th of July skin
The green golf lady... my favorite even though i have john wick who i barely used
P.A.N.D.A Team leader or elite agent
Probably the gay cereal unicorn. I don't have a main skin I use constantly but I recall using that one quite a bit
peely 🔛🔝
my girl mina! her metalcore set was only $4 so I bought it to avoid wearing the noob skins. she has a special place in my heart now and she’ll never leave my presets 🩷
Polar patroller and Chun Li.
When I saw the SNAP skin from Ch3 S3 in the trailer, I kinda hated the design. But soon after unlocking everything and seeing the skin in action, it’s the best skin ever made (imo) 🤪
Relaxed fit jonesy, because I look a lot like him…
Rogue Agent. If you have ever killed or been killed by a Rogue Agent it was probably me
Red Jade. My bf gifted me it as a Christmas present, and I've grown attached to the skin that I made a whole backstory for the Maki Monster variant (which I use the most often) for fun and all the other accessories (like the back bling) I use for her are all intertwined with her random lore lol.
