At Fortnite, there is now new information about the coveted Halo skin in the Battle Royale Starter Pack. The affordable offer could be available next week, on Tuesday. If the starter pack comes as expected, it will likely be a huge hit.
At the beginning of March, we reported on the new “Halo skin” at Fortnite. A picture of a really nice skin briefly appeared, which was supposed to be available at a low price.
At that time, it was said that this was the “Battle Royale Starter Pack” and it would cost $4.99. This starter pack includes the exclusive skin, a cool backpack, and 600 V-Bucks. For comparison: 1000 V-Bucks usually cost €9.99.
Therefore, the starter pack seemed to be a particularly attractive offer – designed to encourage players to make their first purchase.
However, it turned out that a bug was responsible for the offer being visible early. The package could not be purchased. Since then, fans have been waiting to grab the exclusive Halo skin “Rogue Agent Outfit”. Now there is news.
An announcement has surfaced in the PS communities
As several players report on reddit, this offer has appeared in the PS communities.
When: The offer starts in the afternoon on Tuesday, March 27. According to our time, it will probably be the night into Wednesday. The offer will end on Sunday.
What: Currently, it is only known that it is supposed to be a “starter pack” – apparently featuring the Halo skin. In any case, the skin is featured. Additionally, there should be “V-Bucks” – the premium currency of Fortnite. If the leaks from early March are to be believed, it is a good offer with 600 V-Bucks for about €5. Plus, there’s the exclusive skin.
Currently, everything is still a bit shaky, but it looks like the long-held wish of some players will soon come true.
The Halo skin is likely to be a blockbuster at Fortnite
The special thing about the offer is the combination of affordable V-Bucks and a really cool skin modeled after the “Orbital Drop Shock Troopers” from the Halo universe. If the offer goes live as planned, the cash registers will surely ring. After all, millions of players play Fortnite.
An offer like this is economically smart for Epic: Once someone has made a purchase in the shop, they are more likely to spend money on Fortnite again.
But is this really a Halo skin? Not exactly. The skin is called “Rogue Agent Outfit.” Fortnite has a tendency to draw inspiration from popular things and create skins that resemble the originals without having the license to do so and naming it accordingly. Recently, the “John Wick” skin from Fortnite caused a stir.
Update: The offer is now live! Now at Fortnite, the exclusive Halo skin and 600 V-Bucks for €5
