Fortnite is currently in the fifth chapter of its OG season. As players are dwindling in the nostalgia of the game, why don’t we take a look at top 10 rarest Fortnite skins? Many skins in Fortnite are courtesy of the phenomenal collaborations it has overtime. Whether its a popular TV show or a sensational popstar, they have all crossed paths with Fortnite, releasing a line of their own skins in the game.
But some continue to remain timeless. And as we look back on how far the game come, some skins have left a mark on us, but they continue to be rare. So, here is our list of the top 10 rarest Fortnite skins.
Keep in mind that this is a very subjective list and could change from one person to another.
The Rarest Skins in Fortnite
There are many skins that players like to don and show off. Whether its a skin from a favorite anime collab or a celebrity, one chooses it because it appeals to them. However, a skin that not many own and is widely sought after, has already created quite the buzz. And that is why having a rare skin in Fortnite often becomes a subject of discussion.
But, the rarest skin at the time of writing continues to be the Aerial Assault Trooper. It was introduced in the very first season of the game and only veteran Fortnite players are likely to own it. The skin made its first and last appearance in the first season and hasn’t been back yet. But this still does not stop old and new Fortnite players from praising the valor that it brought to the game.
Others believe Renegade Raider to be the rarest as well, since it was available in the first season battle pass at Level 20, but hasn’t made its way back yet.
