Who in Fortnite: Battle Royale has certain Christmas skins now gets additional goodies and variations for them. So far, this seems to apply only to loyal regular customers.
Which skins are we talking about? Last year there was a series of cool Christmas skins for Christmas 2017. Among them, the two gingerbread outfits Merry Marauder and Adventsagitator, as well as the legendary nutcracker Crackshot, were the most popular. At that time, there were no back bling or skin variants.
New variations only for loyal customers
What is the bonus? Therefore, Epic is now gifting all players who already have the gingerbread skins with additional versions of the outfit. There is now a burned version of the gingerbread skin. Additionally, you can now choose the facial expression to be either happy or sad.
There are also additional items for the skins: Additionally, there are suitable back bling, as is customary for epic and legendary skins. The nutcracker gets a wooden bird, and the gingerbread guys each get a matching mini-gingerbread man as decoration.
How do I get the new skin variants? As with the Skull Trooper at Halloween, you will automatically receive the new features if you already have the skin. So you don’t have to do anything additional.
Do you also get the bonuses if the skin is only purchased now? So far, the gingerbread skins have not been available again in the shop; they were last available in February 2018. Since then, fans have been waiting in vain for the popular outfits.
However, if Epic behaves similarly to the Skull Trooper, then there should be another version for the early customers who were already there back then. The so-called “OGs” would then, like with the Skull Trooper at Halloween, get a special version just for them.
Or Epic limits the new versions only to the original versions of the skin, which would be quite unfair to new customers.
We will only know more when the skins return to the shop, which should certainly happen around the holidays.
What do you think of the new variants of the gingerbread and nutcracker skins?
