In Fortnite: Battle Royale, the special delivery set is available in the item shop. YouTuber Elliott “Muselk” Watkins explains why the 2 skins contained in it are “Pay2Win”.
What kind of skins are these? The special delivery package is currently available in the item shop. It includes:
- 2 box skins
- One pickaxe
- One glider
- One weapon wrap
The whole set is designed in the style of cardboard boxes. However, it is precisely this appearance that makes them so dangerous.
New skins can provide an advantage
Why are the cardboard skins said to be Pay2Win? YouTuber Muselk explains and demonstrates in a video what advantages these skins can have.
The focus is mainly on the ability to disguise as a cardboard box. The skins can blend in with their surroundings, making the player “invisible”.
This is a clear unfair advantage. That’s why it’s referred to as Pay2Win, as a player pays to gain an advantage in the game.
In his YouTube video, Muselk tests whether this hiding tactic actually works:

How does this tactic work? The YouTuber lands at the packaging factory, where the mini-boss, Musclekater, is located after being chased away by Deadpool at the live event from the yacht.
There he finds many cardboard boxes between which he can hide using his cardboard skin. He then waits for other players to lure them into a trap.
As soon as a player appears and Muselk is hidden behind the boxes, they will not be able to recognize him and walk straight into his trap.
With this tactic, the YouTuber even manages to secure a victory by hiding from the last opponent and attacking him from ambush.
In conclusion, he says:
“Pay2Win skins are definitely back in the game, folks!”
There are even players who only bought an emote because it gave them an advantage in the game:
Why are the skins so dangerous right now? Cardboard boxes can be found in many places on the map. They were introduced with Season 2 and fit the agent theme of this season.
They can be found either at the packaging factory or scattered across the map. They can also be found as loot that can be picked up. You can hide in the boxes.
So, anyone who comes near a gathering of cardboard boxes should be prepared not to be ambushed. However, it is not the first time that players have taken advantage of the skins. For example, a player used the Loveranger skin to trick other players.
