Fortnite has over 1,000 skins for players to pick and choose from. However, rather than have them all in the shop all the time where I could spend ridiculous amounts of money, Epic Games has decided to rotate them.
By introducing FOMO, players have a sense of urgency to often check the shop rotations and nab skins they’re thinking about. Should they fail to do so, there is a chance it won’t be available for (checks notes) roughly six years. With that in mind, what are the rarest skins in Fortnite right now?
What are the rarest skins in Fortnite? (November 2023)
When it comes to considering what are the rarest skins in Fortnite, I’m primarily concerned with what is the overall rarest skin available by the last time it was available to players. This encompasses those in battle passes, the item shop, etc.
Overall Rarest Skin – Aerial Assault Trooper
The Aerial Assault Trooper was last available on December 13, 2017, after being introduced on October 26, 2017. After reaching Level 15 in the Season Shop, the skin could be purchased for 1200 V-Bucks during Season 1.
The Aerial Assault Trooper was released alongside the Renegade Raider skin, which was available for purchase after reaching Level 20 in the Season Shop. Despite being released at the same time and having been unavailable equally as long, more players opted to nab Renegade over Aerial, hence this call in his favor.
While overall rarity can be rooted in raw data, value cannot. Fortnite allows players to craft a unique identity based on their character and equipment. For me? I will never stop giggling as Venom fires a tiny pistol with a Destiny Ghost watching his back before he breaks buildings with the Halo gravity hammer. This of course, after falling with grace using the Ariana Grande glider. Rarity does not always equal enjoyment.
