Skins PlayStation Fans Will Love
Fans highly praise Fortnite as an exciting battle royale that has players surviving in an ever-shrinking map using an interesting base-building mechanic to avoid being attacked by others. One feature that fans love in Fortnite is the wide variety of skins they can collect to personalize their avatar while attempting to be the last person standing during rounds.

Thanks to Fortnites popularity, other well-known titles have featured in this survival, supplying their own characters and costumes for players to use. PlayStation is one of these crossovers, featuring a wide variety of skins from personal fan favorite franchises and skins that are exclusive to PlayStation owners.
10/10 Point Patroller
Point Patroller arrived in Fortnite during Chapter 2 Season 2. This skin may look very unassuming, but as a free skin for all PlayStation Plus users, it would be ridiculous to not get it. This is only one of many exclusive skins available to PlayStation players of the battle royale.
The skin also comes with a back bling called the Recon Strike which adds a blue backpack to Point Patrollers back showing a pair of binoculars and a radio to call in strikes. Of course, this is all cosmetic and is only for show, but this rare skin is still a great starter option for new players of Fortnite on PlayStation.
9/10 Guile — Street Fighter
This American major from the United States Air Force is one of few characters lovingly selected from the vast amount of Street Fighter characters that were chosen to be added to the battle royale. Guile soared into Fortnite back in Chapter 2 Season 7 and since then he has occasionally been available to purchase again in the Item Shop for 1,600 V-Bucks.
Tactical players of Fortnite may enjoy using Guile due to his green outfit, which may make him blend better into his surroundings. Not to mention that the military man also comes with an alternate outfit that gives him a more casual look, as well as an emote where he combs through is gravity defying hair.
8/10 Blue Striker
As the first ever Fortnite PlayStation Plus skin is no longer available, many players turn to using the second released exclusive called Blue Striker. Players may argue that this skin has far more detail to it than its predecessor while keeping to its Sony blue theme.
Related: Live-Service Games That improved The Most Post-Launch
When the skin first dropped during Chapter 1 Season 4 there were issues with the skin as players needed to link their Epic Account to PlayStation. Fans had complaints about how this skin couldn’t be used on other platforms due to PlayStation not being available to cross-platform, but the skin is still a valuable addition to a players’ collection.
7/10 Blanka — Street Fighter
Blanka may appear like a monster, but he’s actually quite the docile man in Street Fighter. That doesn’t stop him from being an unrelenting powerful opponent both in Street Fighter and now to be proven in Fortnite by players.
Fortnite presented the skin, alongside its alternate design placing Blanka in a dapper suit, to players for purchase during Chapter 3 Season 2 where he could be bought for 1,600 V-Bucks. Like the other Gaming Legend collection items, Blanka has appeared in the store since then, meaning fans of Street Fighter are still able to play as him for themselves.
6/10 Carbon Commando
Another exclusive for PlayStation Plus users, the Carbon Commando can be downloaded from the PlayStation Store for free before even launching Fortnite. Epic released the skin during Chapter 1 Season 8, making it the fourth PlayStation Plus skin available to players to use.
Players that purchase the Carbon Commando also get his back bling of the carbon tank, as otherwise the skin name wouldn’t make any sense. Jokes aside, players enjoy this skin over the other exclusives due to its intimidating night vision goggles and blue mass that shows opposing players that they mean business.
5/10 Chun-Li — Street Fighter
As the main female protagonist of Street Fighter and an overall much-loved character of the franchise. It is of no surprise that Chun-Li is one of the gaming legends players can purchase as a skin when base-building their way to victory.
Related: Fortnite: Forgotten Things That Got Vaulted
Represented in her staple blue dress also known as a qipao and perfect hair buns, she matches her original design brilliantly. Not to mention, players also have access to an alternate skin which shows her wearing more sporty attire. Players have been able to purchase Chun-Li periodically in the store for 1,600 V-Bucks since Chapter 2 Season 5.
4/10 Ryu — Street Fighter
The final mention of a Street Fighter Character and argued by players as one of the best options of playable Street Fighter characters in Fortnite is the main protagonist of the franchise, Ryu. Both the original skin players can purchase and the alternative that sees a more roughed up version of Ryu look incredible.
Fighting game fans first had the chance to buy Ryu during Chapter 2 Season 5, alongside Chun-Li for 1,600 V-Bucks. Players that missed out the first time do not need to fret, as Ryu has appeared in the store every couple of months since then.
3/10 Lara Croft
Known as a master huntress and the queen of tomb raiding, when Tomb Raider arrived in Fortnite during Chapter 2 Season 6, it shocked players. Unlike other entries on this list, Lara Croft was available through that season’s battle pass, where she came with her iconic tank top and ponytail.

Players were also able to change into other variants of the skin, such as the 25th anniversary and vintage skin, for fans of the franchise to reminisce on. Unfortunately, this skin appears to be Battle Pass exclusive, as the skin hasn’t been in the item shop since then. Never say never, though.
2/10 Aloy — Horizon Zero Dawn
Another skin with great detail is the Aloy skin. Releasing to players during Chapter 2 Season 6 for 1,500 V-Bucks. During its initial release players were able to get the skin for entirely free by ranking high in the Aloy Cup, however, since then it has been a regular to the store.
Players that have a PlayStation 5 and also the Aloy skin will also be able to unlock an alternate skin for her called Ice Hunter Aloy. Fans of this beast master on PlayStation are sure to enjoy the exclusivity when it comes to this alternate outfit.
1/10 Kratos — God Of War
Kratos is by far an amazing skin that PlayStation players will love to use. He looks incredible alongside the Oathbreaker set he was released with such as his glider shield, Leviathan Axe which he uses as his harvesting tool, and his most recent unwilling companion of Mimir as his back bling.
Thankfully, Kratos is also a regular to the store since releasing during Chapter 2 Season 5, which means players wishing to be the God of War can get him for 1,500 V-Bucks or the set for 2,200.

As the latest Fortnite Season 3 update brought players a No Sweat Summer, it left a weird bug in the game where players are getting empty loot chests. Here’s the latest on that.
Fortnite players have finally given up on the game due to its never-ending glitches and bugs that affect their overall gameplay experience. The latest glitch in the game is teleporting chest loot to a different location, and it’s getting pretty annoying for players.
Player feedback is one of the many things Epic takes very seriously that it aims to fix in every major weekly update or minor hotfixes from time to time. Often there are times when these bugs can get pretty annoying as they affect the overall gameplay experience for the player.
Fortnite players have seen bugs ranging from being stuck under the map or taking fall damage after jumping off a launch pad. From pros to content creators, each one of them took to social media to call on the developers to “fix the game”.
However, a recent update, v21.30, left a bug that has tested the patience of every Fortnite player active this season – potentially the most annoying Fortnite bug of all time. Here’s everything we know about it so far.
Fortnite bug teleports chests loots to other locations
Please fix the loot/chest bug from FortNiteBR
A strange Fortnite bug that is going viral right now on social media is the Loot Chests bug. It all began when Epic added the update v21.30 and introduced players to this year’s summer event, No Sweat Summer.

The update also saw the addition of Prime Shotgun which is considered to be the best shotgun in Chapter 3. While all the additions are fascinating and exciting to the players, the bug the update left in the game is still haunting players who are failing to win a game like they used to.
The bug, as shown in the clip above, teleports the chest loot to a nearby location outside if a player opens a chest box inside a building. This is pretty annoying as it doesn’t let the player farm loot fast as they usually would while landing on a hot drop.
Am I the only one with this weird bug in #Fortnite? 👀
My chest looted gets yeeted to another room, building or even into the air?! Please @FortniteGame, fix this bug!
Feel free to retweet or tag! 🔁 pic.twitter.com/xuqDpDDXnd
— RutgerK (@RutgerK_) July 23, 2022
Players have already started uploading their clips of the loot chest bug and are calling out the game to come out and fix this issue. This bug also creates double the work for those players who like to play a fast-paced Battle Royale match.
Not one to complain about bugs in Fortnite but man this loot from chests spawning on the other side of the wall or spawning up a layer is the most frustrating thing. Literally costing games.
Can’t imagine what that would feel like in FNCS grands.
Gotta get that bug fixed asap
— Prodea (@ItsProdea) July 23, 2022
Joining in the conversation are a few FNCS players who feel that this bug might cost them several games where they would end up losing on a major competitive level. The entire community has joined hands together to ask the developers to fix the game at the earliest.

While Fortnite has not addressed this issue on their social media handles or on the Trello board could also mean that players in higher ping regions might be the only ones experiencing the bug. However, the player base is still keeping their hopes high to get these issues fixed as soon as possible.
As bugs and glitches continue to add to several issues Fortnite is filled with, events like No Sweat Summer keep the community excited for more in-game content and freebies that they can get. The challenges for No Sweat Summer are live in-game now and players can redeem their share of rewards upon completing them.

Prime Shotgun is the latest game breaking weapon that has been added to Fortnite in v21.30. Here’s all about the new shotgun.
Prime Shotgun is another addition to Fortnite this season in terms of weaponry that has been added to the game. Here is all about the latest shotgun that was introduced in v21.30 and what players think of it.
Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 3 has been a joyride for both OG and new players alike. The new mechanics, the reality bloom spreading everywhere, and the addition of new weapons to the game have kept the community satisfied so far.
However, during the beginning of Chapter 3, the shotgun meta was deemed to be the worst shotguns the game had added to the game. The Striker Pump, Ranger, and Auto Shotguns were weapons that players had deemed incompetent to other shotguns in Fortnite.

Much so, even the newly released Two Shot Shotgun couldn’t impress the players with its faster fire rate and damage. So, Epic decided to throw a new shotgun into the mix to seek player reactions and improve the messed-up shotguns in-game.

Prime Shotgun was added in the latest update v21.30 to the unvaulted weapons arsenal in Fortnite. The shotguns were the second one introduced to the player base apart from the Two-Shot shotgun.

It holds 4 bullets in a clip and promises heavy damage on the first shot fired from a fully loaded clip. The 3 shots that follow inflict lower damage than that of the first one.

When a player reloads the shotgun, 3 blue dots appear on the gun with the red dot being the first shot being loaded. This brings back the memories of the infamous “One Shot Meta” from the OG days when the community used to perform using a Pump Shotgun.
New fortnite shotgun is actually amazing. Could even replace the striker pump shotgun!
Damage against builds is so good–very satisfying to use too, like the og pump!
— Nick Eh 30 (@NickEh40) July 18, 2022
Pros like NickEh40 sang high praise of the Prime Shotgun as the weapon contains elements of the OG pump in terms of range, accuracy, and firepower. Other pros like SypherPK & Ninja also commented their thoughts on the gun which were highly positive.

how to get free skins (January 2022)
You can get a free skin in Fornite in January 2022. Skins have played a huge role in Fornite’s growth and success. In addition to being a popular battle royale, Fornite has been responsible for some of the biggest crossovers in gaming. What other title allows Kratos God of War , Master Chief Halo , and Aloy from Zero Dawn Horizon to appear in the same game? Many skins in the game are unlocked by leveling up the Battle Pass or by purchasing them from the Item Shop for V-Bucks. Since it is a premium currency, it is not always the ideal situation to get skins.
From time to time, Epic Games holds events where players can receive a free skin. For example, the most recent Fortnite Winterfest 2021 event allowed players to get Polar Peely and Krisabelle for free. Although these events take place far apart, they usually only appear as part of that event with a minimal chance of ever returning. Each skin has a special feeling because they are not always available.
The only free skin available in Fornite is the Sultura costume with the Cybersaber pickaxe. To get it, players must be a PlayStation Plus subscriber on PlayStation 5 or PlayStation 4. They can then go to the PlayStation Store and download it directly. With Fornite Crossplay and Cross Progression, the skin can be used in all versions of the game. You can even rock a PlayStation-style skin on Xbox or Nintendo platforms.
These are all the various free skins that have been available for free in the past. Unfortunately, they are no longer available in the game, but they provide a better understanding of what players can expect from future events.
- Aloy: Finish high in the Aloy Cup.
- Beast Boy: Finish high in the Teen Titans Cup.
- Nearby: Sign in with the Epic Games Launcher.
- Frost Squad: Complete the Operation Snowpack trials.
- Crisabelle: Open the Winterfest 2021 gift.
- Polar Pili: Open the Winterfest 2021 gift.
- Rainbow Rider: Complete «Invite a Friend» missions.
- Ruby Shades: Sign in with the Epic Games Launcher.
- Snowman: Complete Operation Snowfall challenges.
