In Fortnite: Battle Royale (PC, PS4, Switch, iOS & Xbox One) you will receive gifts today. Fortnite is celebrating its 1st birthday and all PvE players with the Founder’s Pack will finally receive two long-awaited skins for Battle Royale.
What are the Founder Skins? When Battle Royale launched at the end of 2017, buyers of the PvE version received special skins for the new mode. However, those were only gliders. Fans have been waiting for months for the two promised skin outfits to be added to the game:
- Rose Team Leader
- Warpaint
What is special about these skins: Battle Royale players have been waiting for almost a year for these two skins. However, there has been no news for months. Until now!
The new skins are coming in update 5.10
New outfits for the birthday: The wait for the desired missing Founder skins has now come to an end. Today, on July 24, 2018, is not only the birthday of the original PvE Fortnite. Today, patch 5.10 is also released, which means fans of Fortnite: Battle Royale will get something, too.
Only for Founders: When the patch goes live today around noon our time and is successfully implemented on the servers, some of you should have the new skins. Unfortunately, the goodies are not available for everyone. According to Epic, the outfits are only available for holders of a Founder’s Pack.
Can you still buy the Founder Packs? The Founder Packs are still available on Epic’s website, and they are currently 50 percent cheaper, which is worth it alone for the V-Bucks for all PvP fans. It is currently unknown if the two skins will still be available after the patch date if you purchase the Founder Pack later.
This is what the new skins look like
Are the new skins worth it? The two exclusive skins are quite subtle by Fortnite standards.
- Rose Team Leader is a variant of the known soldier, just with a pink cap and accessories.
- Warpaint on the other hand, with his bandana and skull face paint, resembles Reaper from Overwatch a bit.
Both skins are considered legendary. Since not every player will have them, they will certainly be among the more coveted skins.
