Epic Games had teased the reveal of the Fortnite Week 8 Ruin skin previously on Thursday, April 4th in a mysterious teaser image that did not receive much love from many members of the community. However, the awesome design of the Week 8 Fortnite Ruin skin that was shown off fully on April 5th will likely have many players excited to chase Victory Royales as the brand new and menacing character. 

In order to unlock the Ruin skin, players will need to complete a total of 55 weekly Battle Pass challenges before the end of this current season. With there being no specific restrictions on which challenges players will need to complete, individuals can definitely attack the easier challenges throughout the rest of this season in order to unlock the Week 8 Fortnite Ruin skin without breaking too much of a sweat in their battle royale adventures.
