The Predator skin has been one of the most-anticipated bounty hunter skins in Fortnite Season 5.

This hunter's pod has already arrived at Stealthy Stronghold, and the Predator challenges are also live in the game. Given that the banner and spray are out, everyone knows that it's the Predator skin coming to Fortnite.

But the entire community is excited to know when exactly it is going to make its entry.

The Predator skin in Fortnite was confirmed via the banner and spray, which arrived with the 15.20 update. Both were tied with the first set of Predator challenges in Fortnite.

These challenges are straightforward and can be completed in a single run. The next couple of Predator challenges, however, haven't been unlocked yet. When it comes to this new character's skin in Fortnite, it will also be linked to a quest.

According to the battle pass section right now, the Predator skin drops in Fortnite in one day.

It's been estimated that the Predator skin in Fortnite will be available with the 15.21 update. So, if the skin drops in one day, which is tomorrow, then fans can assume that the 15.21 update will be arriving tomorrow as well.

v15.21 has been added to the staging servers, so it will release very soon! Maybe even next week!

On the contrary, data miner iFiremonkey believes that the new 15.21 update will increase the number of days taken to unlock challenges.

The leaker believes Epic Games loves a high player count, and it does not make sense to drop so many free rewards in such a short span.

The only reason Week 7 released a day early was because it was "on Schedule Granted" and not "Days Since Start"Image has my thoughts on the Predator quests. pic.twitter.com/aCBuhjtTK9

The Predator skin in Fortnite isn't the only new bounty hunter skin coming to the game. Rumors say that the Terminator will be coming to the island as well.

Why the Terminator? Well, because the reload animation on the Lever Action Shotgun resembles the way the Terminator reloaded the weapon. Secondly, the actor who played the Terminator, Arnold Schwarzenegger, was also the character responsible for killing the Predator in the original movie.

The Predator skin will likely be in Fortnite tomorrow. Even if it does not reach the game on the day, it'll be there in-game soon enough. And once this hunter has made it to the island, no one will be safe.
