Fortnite is the most dynamic battle royale game when it comes to releasing new items and weapons. The developers regularly add new features and weapons to make the game more interesting and relevant with respect to current pop and film references. The character skins are the prime example of this phenomenon.

The variety and the attention to detail given to some of these skins is truly incredible, and the all-new Blaze character skin is no different. The skin was first released in Fortnite in 2017 as the “Renegade raider” skin, but as the game and character skins were new to the scene, most users did not purchase it, which led to it becoming one of the rarest character skins of the game.

As of now, the molten version of the skin is available as a separate item costing 1500 V-bucks, and has been released as part of the Lava series. It has been bundled with the Firestarter back bling, as of now.

This is in contrast to the speculations that suggested it would be released as part of a bundle or an OG variant. As of now however, players who already own the original Renegade Raider skin will have to buy the new version to use it.

The fact that the skin is not available for free to Fortnite users who own the original version is a change of stance from Epic Games, but is actually quite sensible.

It is an overall better strategy to increase sales, and the fact is that the Blaze skin is not just a re-coloration of the original skin. Many features have been added, as you can see from the pictures.

The new molten version is quite different from the original, and has a fiery red costume with glowing stripes. The skin is far from a simple recolor of the original, with various details such as the helmet and random fire strips on the costume. The gameplay has already been released, and needless to say the skin looks set to become one of the most popular ones available in Fortnite.
