The Fortnite metaverse would be incomplete without all the amazing skins that are part of the game. These cosmetic items not only represent the original characters from the Battle Royale and tell a unique story, but they also allow players to create their own persona.

The Battle Royale title from Epic Games has one of the single largest cosmetic collections. So, naturally, some skins are favored more than others. Moreover, fondness for particular outfits keeps changing as developers release new ones. With that in mind, here's a list of the most used skins in Fortnite this year.

Released during Chapter 2 Season 5, Chun-Li was part of the Street Fighters set. The popular character from one of the greatest fighting series ever made entered the Battle Royale game with a bang and still remains one of the most used skins.

Part of the Gaming Legends set, Chun-Li costs 1,600 V-Bucks every time she appears in the shop. The skin was last seen in the shop over 80 days ago, and players will certainly be excited to see it reappear.


9) Skye

A Battle Pass skin from Chapter 2 Season 2, Skye could be unlocked at tier 80. She is a part of the Friends Quest set and comes with multiple outfit styles that fans love. Skye has been an NPC and an integral character to Fortnite's lore, which is why gamers love using the outfit over and over again.

Besides her outfit styles, she also has a built-in transversal emote called Ollie Bounce. It turns her hat into a pet that follows the character around as long as the emote lasts. Clearly, this fascinating detail about the skin is one of the biggest reasons why she remains popular several months after her release.


8) Fishstick

One of the oldest skins in the game, Fishtick will always remain an adored favorite. His contributions to the lore and his adorable nature make him an all-time classic. Although Fishstick is available in various shapes and sizes, his default version remains the eighth most used skin in Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 4.

This is a rare outfit and was first added to the item shop in Season 7 for 1,200 V-Bucks. He has made 30 appearances in the shop since then and was last seen on October 23.


7) Kit

One of the lesser-known skins, Kit is the son of the popular character Meowscles. A cat controls a robot that he built from recycled parts to be stronger, like his dad. Players could unlock him by reaching level 60 of the Chapter 2 Season 3 Battle Pass.

Kit is clearly one of the most interesting-looking skins in the game, which explains his popularity. Even though it's been an entire Chapter since his release, the skin has once again become popular in the ongoing season due to Kit's appearance.


6) Drift

Yet another evergreen skin, Drift was released as a legendary outfit and could be obtained by unlocking tier 1 of the Season 5 Battle Pass. The item came with a set of challenges that players were able to complete and level up the skin through five stages.

From stages one to five, Drift was one of the coolest-looking skins in the game. Naturally, it remains one of the most popular Fortnite skins even in 2022. Given how much players love the outfit, it might continue to be in the top 10 for quite some time.


5) Evie

One of the most recent additions to the list, Evie, was released in the Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 3 Battle Pass. It was available on the very first level of the BP and came with some exciting and super styles.

Evie is often regarded as one of the best-designed skins in the game. It was one of the most popular cosmetics last season, and not much has changed in the current one.


4) Meowscles

Midas' pet agent, Meowscles is a buff humanoid cat that players love. It was released back in Chapter 2 Season 2 and was available on level 60 of the Battle Pass. Unfortunately, the character has seen a rough patch in the last few seasons.

Meowscles has died thrice and has six of his nine lives remaining. However, his deaths have only made him popular, making him the fourth most-used skin in Fortnite in 2022.


3) Midas

If there is one character that has always been popular in the Battle Royale game, it is Midas. Ever since his appearance in Chapter 2 Season 2, the Golden King's charm has swayed players. Only a few gamers had the chance to unlock the outfit at level 100 of the Battle Pass, but it is still the third most used Fortnite skin in 2022.

Midas died a long time ago, but fans still love the character more than anyone else. There have been constant demands to bring back Midas in Fortnite. While Epic Games keeps him in the shadows, players are showing their support by using the skin.


2) Peely

It isn't surprising that Peely is the second most used Fortnite skin, even in 2022. Epic Games released the banana-themed character way back in 2019. Players could unlock the popular skin at tier 47 of the Season 8 Battle Pass.

Peely has seen a lot of character development over the last few years. Unfortunately, his driving hasn't improved at all. It's also worth mentioning he played a massive role in the Chapter 3 Season 2 live event, saving the island and making him a popular skin.


1) Spider-Gwen

The most used Fortnite skin in 2022 is Spider-Gwen. The female counterpart of Miles Morales' Spider-Man is the highlight of the Chapter 3 Season 4 Battle Pass and can be unlocked by reaching tier 100.

Players are rushing to reach the final page of the BP and obtain Spider-Gwen in Fortnite. Clearly, after all the hard work, they would love to show off their new popular skin.
