In Fortnite, a new Marvel skin is currently available in the item shop. You can now run through the game as Captain America, and the skin also has a cool built-in feature. We will show you the new Marvel skin.
What kind of skin is this? To celebrate Independence Day, which takes place on July 4th and is celebrated in the USA, Fortnite is now bringing the Marvel hero Captain America into the game. The skin costs 2,000 V-Bucks and also includes a back accessory.
The new hero even made his way into the Fortnite world with his own trailer:
But it’s not just the hero available for purchase, as his indestructible shield, which he always carries with him, and an emote: Dramatic Salute comes along. The emote features a heroic pose and a lot of fireworks for 300 V-Bucks.
Captain America’s shield has a cool feature
What is so special about it? If you look at the “Captain America” skin in the item shop, you can see his shield included in the skin twice, but why?
That’s because you can use the shield not only as a back accessory but also as a pickaxe. So if you select the shield for both items, you can use it simultaneously for both functions.
Something similar happened with the Battle Pass skins of Season 2. There were back accessories where the character’s pickaxes were visible on the sides, but when you equipped the pickaxe, they disappeared behind the backpack.
With Captain America, however, this function is much clearer, and to be honest, it looks pretty cool.
The new “Captain America” skin is part of the Marvel series, joining his hero colleagues who are causing havoc in the Fortnite world. In the last Season 2, there were Deadpool and other Marvel skins as reinforcements for the funny hero.
If you want to buy the Captain skin, you should hurry while it’s still available in the shop. It is also unclear whether it will ever be offered for sale again.
