Eco Fortnite Skin is a tribute to the old Fortnite Chapter 1 map: Loot Lake, Titled Tower, and other references spotted

The Eco Fortnite skin was recently added to the Item Shop. While cosmetics being added to the shop are not out of the ordinary, the new outfit pays tribute to the "OG" days of Fortnite Chapter 1, more specifically, the old Fortnite map.

Created by Nollobandz, the Eco Fortnite skin features a lot of Season 1 map memorabilia that veterans of the game will be able to relate to. Apart from the skin and back bling, a harvesting tool is also present along with the set.

The total set costs well over 2000 V-Bucks but is well worth the money for players wanting to take a trip down memory lane. Players can purchase the Outfit (Eco) and Back Bling (Globee) for 1,500 V-Bucks and the Harvesting Tool (Devourer's Bane) for 800 V-Bucks.

The volcano on the back bling will erupt every time the player gets elimination. However, it's hard to see, as the animation is rather fast.

Now that the basics have been covered, it's time to talk about the skin itself and examine the references that have been made to Fortnite Chapter 1
