The Community Speaks on Fortnite's Season 3 Skins
By Nicholas Barth ·
Season 3 of Fortnite is underway and Epic Games introduced six new skins for players to earn through completing their Season 3 Battlepass. Twin Galaxies decided to get the community's thoughts about which of the news skins they enjoyed the most.
With the addition of a wide range of character skins, Fortnite has separated itself from Player Unknowns Battlegrounds in the cosmetic department. Featuring disco themed characters to the recently added astronauts, Epic Games has created a host of wild skins for players to use. This was no different for the recently launched Season 3 of Fortnite, as six news skins were made available for players who made their way through the 100 tiers of the Season 3 Battlepass. With a widely positive reception to the new group of skins, we decided to ask the community which of the new Season 3 skins did they enjoy the most and why.
Two clear nods to pop culture were made with two of the new skins, and this helped to make them fan favorites. From a Guardian of the Galaxy to the coolest hitman to ever hit the big screens, Rust Lord and the Reaper have been enjoyed by players.
“I like the 2 nods to other franchises, Rust Lord representing Star Lord and Reaper representing John Wick.” Said Ricky_Berwick, even though they were not thier favorites overall.
Premekada expressed their excitement over seeing one of their favorite movie characters making his way into Fortnite.
“The Reaper - because its John f*cking Wick!”
“John Wick, because John Wick.” Said _will12
Looking good while fighting was the reasoning behind JocularPig’s choice.
“I would personally say the reaper, because who doesn't like killing people in style.”
John Wick has amassed a wide following of fans from his two successful movies, so it was no surprise to see Fortnite players be extremely excited for the chance to play as the exceptionally cool hitman.
The Elite Agent skin is the most tactically focused of the new skins, and her sleek design has fans grinding away to unlock her.
“Elite Agent is my favorite though, the red laser on the helmet, the scarf, the full black camo armor. It just looks really intimidating.” Said Ricky_Berwick, as they explained what was their true favorite skin.
Andrew76696 has also been smitten by the Elite Agent.
“The elite agent skin is my favorite season exclusive because she looks like a spy/fighter person and Ramirez is bae.”
Finally, the Astronaut clad in all black made his way into the conversation as a favorite of the Season 3 skins.
“Definitely the Dark Voyager- looks intimidating.” Said Lokighwastaken.
A similar style to the Black Knight Skin from Season 2 was all it took for Wamboozled.
“Black astronaut looks legit. It reminds me of the black knight for season 3. Can’t wait to wear that puppy!”
Through the members of the community that reached out, it is clear that the Reaper, Elite Agent and Dark Voyager are considered to be the standout skins for Season 3 of Fortnite.
With so much excitement brewing in the community over getting and showing off their favorite Season 3 skins, Fortnite is at the top of the Battle Royale genre. If the season exclusive skins only continue to get better from here on out, it is hard to say that Epic Games’ Battle Royale title will be slowing down anytime soon.
