Fortnite Shop today: The gingerbread skin is finally here

In Fortnite, players are currently paying even closer attention to the shop. After everyone has been waiting for the Gingerbread Skin, they are finally back in the Fortnite shop today, December 22.

What everyone is waiting for this Christmas: The fans in Fortnite are currently most concerned with the question of when the skin “Merry Marauder” will return.

This is the Gingerbread Skin, which features a strangely angry-looking figure made of gingerbread. It has become quite a cult.

What is so special about this skin? According to Fortnite Skins, the Merry Marauder Skin has been in the shop 6 times. However, that was in January 2018. It hasn’t been in the game for 11 months.

A female version of the skin, the “Ginger Gunner”, was last seen in January as well. Overall, it could be purchased 4 times in the shop.

Back then, Fortnite wasn’t nearly as big as it is today. The rise of Fortnite only began in January 2018. Apparently, many players want these Gingerbread Skins back for Christmas 2018 to buy them with saved V-Bucks.
