It’s just another week for Fortnite, which means a bunch of new features have been datamined from the latest build. This week has revealed a set of new Fortnite skins, and they’re no less creative than Epic’s best work to date.
Reliable Fortnite-dedicated Twitter feed @FNBRLeaks posted five skins earlier today: Far Out Man, Musha, Enforcer, Backbone, and Armadillo.
The uncommon Armadillo skin wraps your character in desert fatigues for a commando look, while the rare Backbone skin has a Hell’s Angels biker gang aesthetic. Far Out Man is an epic with a 60s hippie design. Musha and Enforcer are both legendary skins, bringing samurai and ninja flavours to the Fortnite wardrobe.
Over on Reddit, user FortniteBRMods has posted a montage image showing 11 new skins. Among them are Far Out Man and Armadillo, and both appear to have female equivalent skins. While the male Musha shown by @FNBRLeaks is not present in the image, a female version is, suggesting that it two will have gender options.

In addition, the Reddit post shows a Raven-like skin with wings and glowing eyes, a female skin with red-and-black leather clothing and goggles, and a hooded character with yellow eyes who wouldn’t look out of place in Arkham Asylum. There’s also a female skin in white and red pictured with a new back gear item and a +V-Bucks icon, which suggests that the Wingman skin for the starter pack is being exchanged for this new skin.
