What are Fortnite skins?
Skins are cosmetic items in Fortnite that players can add to their in-game character to change their appearance.
They can be purchased on the Epic Store using Fortnite’s in-game currency, V-Bucks.
Over the years, skins have become more elaborate and today can be used to dress your character up as famous faces.
Recently, Fortnite-maker Epic Games has released skins for Marvel’s Black Panther, the Xenomorph from the “Alien” franchise and even football superstar Neymar.
