The latest round of Fortnite leaked skins has unveiled some of the new skins and cosmetic items that we can expect in the upcoming 8.40 update. The new Fortnite Gemini skins appear to be two rare variants of a rabbit skin that players can equip, with the choice between a darker, vermilion-trimmed outfit, or a brighter blue version. This will be joined by four Supersonic skins that dress players like a fighter pilot, as the new Air Royale mode releases in the same update. In addition, new Cryo Hops back bling matches the rabbit skins, while the new Guage back bling displays your total kills.
Fortnite Gemini skin and Cryo Hops back bling
The new Fortnite Gemini skins are Rare cosmetics expected to be introduced in the 8.40 update, and will likely be available from the item shop for around 1200 V-Bucks, in line with other Rare item prices. Players can choose between either the blue space suit, which has a rather cheery demeanor, but any edgelords among you may prefer the grumpier goth variant. You can also grab the matching Cryo Hops back bling, which comes in both colors, and contains a fluffy rabbit with the same expression as the matching skin.
Fortnite Supersonic skin and Gauge back bling
The Supersonic skin is also expected to be introduced in the 8.40 update, with four variants of the fighter pilot outfit to choose from. While it’s not yet clear what rarity these skins will be, we do know that you can also grab the matching Gauge back bling, which comes with an extra feature. As you stack eliminations in a match, this number will display on the Gauge back bling, if you have it equipped. As such, it will likely be a popular option for streamers, or anyone else that wants to showcase their combat prowess for everyone to see.

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.
