Rarest and “Most Sweatiest" Skins, Emotes, Gliders & Pickaxe…

Fortnite has become massive in recent years. It’s free to download and play, it’s available across all video game consoles including mobile. Players compete in a “Battle Royale” starting with 100 players, in an everyone for themselves elimination style battle to be the last one standing when the storm ends. (There really is a storm.)

Fortnite, although free to play, features “The Item Shop" that entices the player to equip themselves with the latest gear. The shop replenishes every 24 hours with new skins, emotes and “back bling." In my household the revealing of the newest items is an event met with anticipation on a nightly basis. My son will watch live countdowns on YouTube hours in advance. Him and fellow players are capable of live banter while in competition, and players are quick to call you out and come to assumptions about your skill level based on purchases you have outfitted your character with. Your given the title of “default," if your competing with the standard issued Fortnite beginner package. Outside of the action of the game, players compete in a race to collect all the must haves of the Fortnite item shop. My list that follows includes the most sought after of the collection, that if obtained, will put you in the upper echelon of all Fortnite competitors.

Rarest Skins

The default skin is the original skin, but the first available for purchase was the Aerial Assault Trooper and the Renegade Raider in season 1. You had to be level 15 to purchase him and level 20 to purchase her. Renegade Raider is the most infamous skin and inspired by the Headhunter character in Fortnite.

The Skull Trooper is arguably one of the oldest, yet rarest, skins to ever appear on Fortnite. The skin was first introduced in the item shop back in October of 2017.

Rarest Emotes

“Floss,” due to it being the latest in the battlepass, is probably going to be the rarest emote in the game.

Ride the Pony that used to be part of the Season 2 battle pass was given out to players that purchased “Save the World.” Players who owned it from the battle pass were given the “Pony Up” emote as a reward.
