Fortnite's Dark Vanguard Skin is Now Available

One of the major appeals of Fortnite Battle Royale has been the vast array of unique and attractive skins that players have the option of customizing their characters with. From the Monkey King Wukong to the highly anticipated Raven skin that was recently released, Epic Games is leading the video game industry in providing highly sought after cosmetic items. Now the latest skin from the set of cosmetic items leaked by datamining has made its way into Fortnite as the Dark Vanguard skin is now available in the in-game store. 

The Dark Vanguard outfit is the 4th spacesuit based skin that is currently available in the popular battle royale game. The first three can be obtained by advancing through the tiers of the Season 3 Battlepass. With the two basic spacesuit skins having a male and female version, the Dark Vanguard skin brings the female counterpart to the widely popular Dark Voyager skin. Utilizing black, orange and neon purple, the Dark Vanguard appears as an intimidating foe from the outer reaches of space. 

With wild theories of Tilted Towers possibly being destroyed by a comet sometime in the future as a way for Epic Games to remove the area from the map of Fortnite circulating through the community, perhaps players utilzing the Dark Vanguard skin or any of the other spacesuit outfits will have an advantage over players wearing other skins when the alleged apocalyptic event occurs. However, all that we know for sure at the moment is that the Dark Vanguard skin is easily one of the coolest cosmetic items in the game now, and players are most likely purchasing V-Bucks as we speak in order to add the dangerous looking astronaut to their collection of Fortnite skins.
