A glitch in Fortnite displayed a player’s skins in a cel-shading look. The player filmed his skin collection with the new look and players are excited. This graphic style is very well received.
What kind of error is this? The reddit user coldasaghost experienced a graphic error while viewing his skin library on his Xbox. The cosmetics that were supposed to be shown in the “cel shading look” (i.e., in the Borderlands style) suddenly looked more normal. The community is so pleased with this that they are asking Epic to set up an option for it.
We are showing you the “broken” cosmetics and the community’s reactions to them.
“Seriously, this looks amazing”
This is how it looks in the game: In a 30-second clip, user coldasaghost shows some content that should have a cel-shading look. This includes:
- Naruto Uzumaki
- Sasuke Uchiha
- Rick Sanchez
- Reina
We are embedding the reddit thread with the video here:
It is unclear what exactly triggered the glitch and how to reproduce it. Nevertheless, this “error” is well received by other players. The difference from the original appearance of the skins is mainly the brightness. In the glitch video, the skins appear darker and without reflections.
This is what players say: There is a lot of support for the cosmetics in the comments on reddit.

Others write:
- “They look like clay animation”
- “I don’t know if I should hate it or love it”
- “It looks better than running across the map as a light beam”
- “This looks better and is still cel-shaded. It’s the light and the textures that look better”
- “God, I would love this. Especially because it would make it easier to combine skins with cosmetics that have no outlines”
- “Uh, I don’t know. It looks good on Naruto and Rick, but absolutely terrible on Toonafish. If they add it, I’d definitely be more willing to play Naruto and Sasuke, as the cel-shading kind of puts me off”
What do you think of this “new” style of cel-shading cosmetics? Do you think it’s a good improvement and wish for an option to toggle it on and off, or do you prefer the skins in their original form? Let us know your thoughts here on MeinMMO in the comments.
