Fortnite Skins Epic Games Has Ruined Over the Years
Follow Us
Over the years, Epic Games has released a plethora of skins for the Fortnite community which include outfits, back blings, harvesting tools, weapon wraps, and gliders. Even though these cosmetics do not provide any skill advantage to the players, they love to collect and flaunt them on the battlefield.
With every season, Epic Games ensures the arrival of several new skins in Fortnite. However, it has also made significant changes in some popular skins in the meantime. While the developer had legitimate reasons to do so, fans who loved these skins for their design are still unhappy with the decision.
In a recent video, NewScapeGames looked back at five such Fortnite skins.

The Skull Trooper released in Chapter 1 and was easily one of the rarest skins in the game up till October 2020. Epic Games re-released the outfit, and as expected, thousands of players bought it without a second thought.
Unfortunately, it was then impossible to anticipate a player’s skill set if they were owning a Skull Trooper outfit. This move certainly elated the new players in the community, but disappointed the veterans who used to flaunt their experience with this outfit.
