List of Fortnite Rarest Skins
Mission Specialist
This purple skin is over six years old, so it’s a bit dated in fashion. It’s cool that it came with the third season of Fortnite, though. As a Battle Pass skin, this one will never return to the shop. So, you can treat your friends but warning them all that Mission Specialist is still rarer than most other outfits and you’ll need to scrimp and save to get it.
Blue Team Leader
This skin is rare in the fact that only players who are part of the PlayStation Plus subscription service are able to obtain it (sorry Xbox owners!). The skin was first available back in December 2017, so a lot of people out there today will definitely be rocking it.
Fortnite is currently unavailable for PlayStation users, but it is reportedly in the works. It has been announced that Fortnite will be available on PS4, PS3 and PS Vita platforms, with an exclusive launch on Sony’s new PlayStation Plus service.
Recon Expert
The Ghoul Trooper. This is a limited-time skin that came out in May of 2018, presumably for the game’s second anniversary. There was a problem: Fortnite had loads of skins, which were either paid or free, to celebrate its anniversary. Ghoul Trooper came out and was something that players could pay for, but it wasn’t new or unique enough to warrant paying for it.
You could probably find a cheaper skin to impress your friends with. This skin has a lot of history, but it’s really only worth getting on account of that. There are much cheaper skins if you’re looking for something to impress your friends — do not spend too much on this skin for the sake of it being ‘rare’.
Diamond Hanz
The Rare Royale Bomber is a skin that can only be obtained by being among the first players to log into the game on April 1st (along with one other day through a holiday). We based the design on a meme, but also on a trending news topic at the time. It’s unlikely to be used in future April Fool’s events.
Omega
The Omega skin comes from a time when we didn’t have so many options for skin and champion designs. While it’s not exactly “rare” these days, you can still count the number of players that have this skin on one hand. It’s pretty nostalgic because you might have gotten it back in 2015 or 2014, which means you’ve been playing for quite some time now.
Hollowhead
This Epic Halloween 2018 Legendary skin is a real rarity. It’s only been featured once before, when it was released as a part of Fortnite Season 6 last year. However, you can get the chance to own this skin now! This is because the loading screen in Fortnite Battle Royale features the Rare skin this week.
Midnight Ops
The Midnight Ops Skin was spotted inside the shop, alongside some other great skins. While it might not be quite as flashy as some of the others, it’s still a fun skin to use and makes a nice change from the others. Epic Games has announced their latest Fortnite update will bring back a few favorites! In addition to this, they have also brought back the Infinity Gauntlet which will let you smash through everything.
Moisty Merman
If you want to stand out from the crowd, this is your skin! The Kwami Light-Up Salmon is the rarest of Fortnite skins, and you won’t see anyone else wearing it around the battlefield. It’s worth the wait if you can afford it — but don’t worry if you can’t: Epic Games have plenty of fun monster skins on offer, like this one!
Sgt. Green Clover
What better way to party it up than with a glamorous new look? Iridescent is the ultimate St Patricks Day fashion accessory, allowing you to get down, get green, and not have people confuse you for Lady Gaga.
Ludwig
There is no better time than now to pick up the Ludwig skin, a favorite among many of the best-looking skins in Fortnite. It’s a great option for anyone hoping to look sexy for the new year. The rarer than average skin has a surprising rate of appearances. Show up looking great at that party with your friends, and you’ll be sure to become the life of the party!
Jack Gourdon
This is, of course, another Epic skin. You’re probably starting to think ‘huh, come to think of it, I don’t have an Epic skin…’ Well, look no further, because this epic of epic skins is a peach (sorry!) and will certainly make an appearance in the future — it isn’t one of those other legendary skins you hear about on forums such as Reddit and Discord.
Heidi
This is a rare skin, and there are a few lucky people who happen to have it already. Since it was a holiday-centric skin, chances are it’s been overlooked by a few of your cow-orkers.
