Fortnite is always throwing something new into the mix! This time, Epic Games has decided to sprinkle some nostalgia into our gaming lives with the return of the Renegade Raider and Aerial Assault Trooper skins. But before you dash off to grab your V-Bucks, let’s delve into what this means for players old and new.
Renegade Raider Makes a Comeback to Fortnite
The legendary Renegade Raider skin, known as the rarest outfit from back in the day, graces the Fortnite Item Shop again. Priced at 1,200 V-Bucks, it does come with a catch, you’ll need to unlock it by accumulating XP first. The OG Season Shop now features four exciting cosmetics: the Aerial Assault One Glider, Aerial Assault Trooper Skin, Renegade Raider Skin, and Raider’s Revenge Pickaxe. Each item requires a specific amount of XP before you can buy them.
- Aerial Assault One Glider: 500 V-Bucks – unlocked by collecting 500,000 XP
- Aerial Assault Trooper Skin: 1,200 V-Bucks – unlocked by collecting 1,000,000 XP
- Renegade Raider Skin: 1,200 V-Bucks – unlocked by collecting 1,500,000 XP
- Raider’s Revenge Pickaxe: 1,500 V-Bucks – unlocked by collecting 1,500,000 XP
If you’re one of those lucky early adopters who rocked the Renegade Raider or Aerial Assault Trooper back in 2017, congratulations! You’ll be rewarded with an exclusive style for both skins, set to drop in spring 2025. Remember: all these shiny new items will vanish from the shop on January 31st, 2025. So get grinding!
X(formerly Twitter) reveals a chorus of discontent echoing through the comments section. Some veterans are urging newcomers not to buy the Renegade Raider skin since it’s become a symbol representing their early commitment to Fortnite’s grind culture.
This sentiment speaks volumes; many see it as a badge of honor for being part of Fortnite’s journey right from its inception. It raises interesting questions about rarity and what it means when something once considered unique becomes widely accessible.
If you’re feeling adventurous after this news hits your screens, why wouldn’t you? There’s also talk about how Fortnite players can snag their share from a whopping 72 million dollar refund deal. Plus, Messi skins are fresh on offer, too!
