In Fortnite, the coveted Spinnenritter and Arachne skins are finally available in the shop today, October 21st. In addition, a new Halloween event called Fortnitemares is likely starting soon.
Here’s what’s in the shop today: Finally, the two coveted skins “Spinnenritter” and “Arachne” are in the Fortnite shop today, October 21st. They had already been discovered by data miners last Tuesday and players have been waiting since then for their arrival in the Fortnite shop.
Fashionistas and skin enthusiasts can purchase the two new skins for V-Bucks. The premium currency V-Bucks can be earned for free in Fortnite or can be bought with real money.
Here’s what the new skins cost in Fortnite and what they look like:
- The skin “Arachne” costs 2000 V-Bucks.
- The glider “Flugweber” is priced at 1200 V-Bucks.
- The skin “Spinnenritter” also costs 2000 V-Bucks.
- Additionally, there’s a harvesting tool “Netzfetzer” for 800 V-Bucks.
What makes the skins so special? Data miners had already discovered both skins in advance. The outfits had created high demand in the community.
- The female version “Arachne” resembles the Overwatch hero Widowmaker and is generally considered a cool skin.
- The Spinnenritter has even been compared to the “Black Knight,” a classic and popular skin from Fortnite’s history that is no longer available.
Both skins could be big hits for Epic, after the “Vampir-Skin” was mostly mocked by the community.
Fortnitemares are likely starting soon
New event announced: Along with the new skins, Epic hints at a new event through an in-game message. Under the hashtag #Fortnitemares, there will be a masquerade.
For the announcement, they post a kind of cowboy zombie.
It is suspected that this could indicate a new duo mode because a accompanying poem mentions partners that you cannot trust. It can be assumed that there will be more skins for the new event.
In Fortnite, the game world is gradually changing towards Halloween. There are already giant spiders and ghosts.
How exactly the Halloween event will unfold is still completely open. Strange things are currently happening in Fortnite, but that seems to be the new norm:
