Fortnite isn’t just a battle royale, it’s a fashion show in a war zone. With hundreds of skins available, picking the most stylish or legendary one can feel overwhelming. Whether you’re flexing on the battlefield or just want to stand out in the crowd, skins in Fortnite are more than cosmetics, they’re status symbols. Here’s a look at five of the coolest Fortnite skins that have made waves in the community, and how you can (or could) get them.
1. Midas – The Golden Icon
No list of epic Fortnite skins would be complete without Midas, the golden mastermind introduced in Chapter 2, Season 2. With his sharp suit, glowing eye, and ability to turn weapons into gold, Midas became an instant fan favorite. What made him stand out even more was his “Golden Touch” feature, which added golden accents to items you used while wearing the skin.
How to Get It: Midas was a Battle Pass exclusive, unlockable by reaching Tier 100 during Chapter 2, Season 2. Unfortunately, he’s no longer available unless Epic Games decides to bring him back in special events.
2. Spider-Man (No Way Home Version)
When Fortnite collaborated with Marvel, the internet went wild and nothing screamed “cool” like the Spider-Man (No Way Home) skin. Featuring Tom Holland’s likeness and even customizable styles like the black-and-gold suit, this skin made fans feel like real web-slingers on the Island.
How to Get It: Available in the Item Shop for a limited time during Fortnite’s Winterfest 2021 event. While currently unavailable, there’s always a chance for a Marvel re-release.
3. The Foundation (Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson)
It’s not every day you get to play as The Rock in Fortnite, but The Foundation skin made it possible. Introduced as part of Chapter 3’s storyline, this skin combined superhero aesthetics with celebrity power, instantly making it one of the coolest Battle Pass skins in the game’s history.
How to Get It: Unlocked through Chapter 3, Season 1 Battle Pass quests. Like many story-based skins, The Foundation is likely to remain exclusive.
4. Galaxy Skin – The Ultimate Flex
If there was ever a skin designed purely to flex, it’s the Galaxy Skin. Released as part of a promotional deal with Samsung, this skin features a stunning galactic visual effect that stands out like no other. The rare nature of this promotion made the Galaxy Skin a true icon.
How to Get It: Originally obtained by purchasing a Samsung Galaxy Note 9 or Tab S4 and installing Fortnite. It’s no longer available, making it a legendary collector’s item.
5. Renegade Raider – The OG Status Symbol
Ask any long-time Fortnite player what skin they’re most proud of, and many will say Renegade Raider. Introduced PEH888 during Fortnite’s first season in the Item Shop, this skin was only available for those who reached level 20 and purchased it. Its simple design and rarity have made it one of the most coveted OG skins in Fortnite history.
How to Get It: Only available in Chapter 1, Season 1. If you missed it, you’re out of luck, unless Epic brings it back in a remastered form, which seems unlikely.
Conclusion: Flex Your Style, Build Your Legacy
In Fortnite, looking cool is half the fun. These five skins aren’t just cosmetic, they represent moments in Fortnite history, exclusive events, and a player’s dedication. Whether you’re chasing the next iconic crossover or rocking a legacy look, the right skin says everything about your playstyle and personality. So keep an eye on the Item Shop, finish your Battle Pass, and who knows you might just unlock the next legendary look everyone’s talking about.
