Whether you’re diving headfirst into Tilted Towers or Shifty Shafts, you want to look good doing it. Fortnite has plenty of cosmetic skins to deck out your character in, but some are a bit more uncommon than others. Whether they show your dedication to sticking with the Battle Pass to the end, your bottomless wallet or your old-school credentials, each rare skin tells a story. So, sit back with your Loot Llama, climb into your onesie or just glide down from the sky. Here are 10 of the rarest Fortnite skins you can find out on the battlefield.
Most of Fortnite‘s rarest skins come from its seasonal Battle Pass. Every three months, a new With Fortnite‘s massive success, we’ve seen plenty of games adopt this style of skin and loot drops. You can buy a pass in releases like Black Ops 4 and Paladins, each coming with their own rare skin drops and other game-specific doodads. Current new hotness Apex Legends will also be getting a Battle Pass in March, and it will be interesting to see how this game learns from what Fortnite‘s done.
Also, with all the exclusive skins and a year’s worth of backlog, it will be interesting to see where Epic Games takes Fortnite‘s skin drops going forward. Is the Battle Pass the only way people should get seasonal skins? Will the studio tie skin drops in with their new Epic Games Store, just like Valve back in the Team Fortress 2 days? Perhaps most importantly, will Epic ever re-release the most exclusive skins so more people can get their hands on them? Without the benefit of player trading, it seems silly to keep their rarity up, but it could be a system that’s working for them. Either way, it seems like there’s no stopping the battle royale train, so we’ll see plenty of rare Fortnite skins drop in the future.

10 of Fortnite's Rarest Skins
Whether you're dropping into Fatal Fields or Greasy Grove, you want to look your best. Fortnite has countless skins, but there are those select few that prove that you put the work in. Whether you were just an early adopter or racked up the kills, here are a look at some of the rarest Fortnite skins around. -
Dire
Howl at the moon as Dire, the Werewolf Ninja Hero popping straight out of Save the World. It was the Tier 100 reward of the Season 6 battle pass, but that only got you his human form. To get him all wolfed out, you needed to complete a set of six challenges during the season. -
Galaxy
Would you purchase a cell phone just to get your hands on a Fortnite skin? Some people just may have done that to get Galaxy, the skin only available to owners of Samsung Galaxy phones and tablets during the Android beta period. He's shiny, but not that shiny. -
Giddy Up
Show your love for Fortnite's loot llamas by riding an inflatable one into battle. This jokey costume was available at Tier 23 of the Season 6 Battle Pass and comes with a custom emote. The female version of this skin, Yee-Haw!, is purchasable at the item store. -
Merry Marauder
Merry Marauder is an angry looking gingerbread man who released onto the item shop in December of 2017. He's a holiday-oriented fellow, so he only pops up when Santa is done checking his list twice. Purchasing him will also net you the Mini Marauder back bling, although that doesn't seem to make this ginger man any happier. -
Nightshade
Once you reached Tier 86 of the Season 6 Battle Pass, you received Nightshade. A female version of Tomatohead, she and her Night Cloak back bling are all part of the Pizza Pit theme; the perfect complement when you're fighting against the Burger menace. -
Recon Expert
Decidedly less flashy than other skins on this list, Recon Expect is rare solely due to its release window. It was one of the first skins to hit the shop, before the influx of players that made Fortnite the phenomenon that it is today. While it may rotate back onto the store someday, it's a rare find. -
Renegade Raider
Similar to Recon Expert, Renegade Rider only showed up very early in Fortnite's lifespan. Unlike Recon Expert, that apocalyptic melee weapon makes her fit in a bit more with the skull soldiers and vampires we're all used to seeing. Keep a lookout to see if this Raider will ever climb out of the bunker again. -
Royale Bomber
The Royale Bomber is a PlayStation exclusive, but that's not all. You only got this sunglass toting agent if you purchased specific PlayStation hardware. A controller in the U.S. and a console bundle in the European region. It's quite a hassle to look this good. -
The Reaper
Baba Yaga. The Boogeyman. The Reaper. All of these names apply to John Wick and also this somehow completely unrelated skin in Fortnite Awarded at the end of the Season 3 Battle Pass. Just don't tell anyone in Hollywood, I don't think they've noticed yet. -
Trog
Trog is love. Trog is life. Trog is the reward for Tier 71 of the Season 7 Battle Pass. We may never know where Trog is looking thanks to his famous cross-eyes, but we know that he loves all his children equally and also he is going to shoot some fools with a shotgun. Trog.
