Fortnite has made millions of dollars for Epic Games by selling players V-Bucks. They are used to purchase cosmetic items for the game like skins. However, there are a few skins that aren't worth the money.

Originally Default skins were only available to OG Fortnite players, and commonly used by Sweats to show off how long they had been playing the game. That changed last year with the release of the Origins set, which re-released the default skins for 800 V-Bucks.

While comparatively inexpensive, the skin's only worth comes from making it look like players are pros.

Havoc and Sub Commander

Havoc and Sub Commander were skins available for members of Twitch Prime, now known as Prime Gaming. In order to get the skin, players had to have a $100 Amazon Prime subscription and a Twitch account. Getting an Amazon Prime subscription for a Fortnite skin seems a little far-fetched.

Blue Team Leader

The first-ever PlayStation Plus exclusive skin, Blue Team leader is a fairly clean and simple skin. It was available only to PlayStation Plus subscribers, a $60 a year service. The PlayStation Plus service is of great value but many Fortnite players don't own a PlayStation and making such an investment for a skin makes little sense.

Galaxy

The most expensive Fortnite skin available and probably one of the most rare. Galaxy was only obtainable for a limited time for Fortnite players playing the game on a Samsung Note 9 or Galaxy Tab S4. Other similar skins, such as Galaxy Scout followed suit, making them $1000 skins to own. This was far too expensive an outlay for something like a skin. That's over 10 times the price of most video games.

Any 2000 V-Buck Skin

If there is a Legendary skin available for purchase, chances are it is 2,000 V-Bucks. That is a pretty sobering thought.
