Rare skins that Fortnite players hope will return

1) Renegade Raider

The female counterpart of Rust Lord was first released as part of the Storm Scavenger Set in Season 1. Players purchased the skin for 1200 V-bucks after reaching level 20.

She is perhaps the rarest skin in Fortnite and definitely the most beloved. Unfortunately, based on online rumors, there is a good chance that this skin will never make it back to Fortnite.

2) Aerial Assault Trooper

Similar to Renegade Raider, players regret not having this outfit in their Fortnite inventory. However, when it was first released in Season 1, very few bought the skin, making it sought-after many years later.

3) Ghoul Trooper

The Halloween-themed skin has not made its way back into the shop since 2020. This was another Season 1 original skin that players missed out on and now wish Epic Games would bring it back.

4) Recon Expert

While this is not rare and has made it back to the shop multiple times, players without this skin are missing out on the original Fortnite experience. Recon Expert is a Season 1 outfit and was last seen in the store on May 13, 2021.

5) Merry Marauder

First released in Season 2, Merry Maruader was a part of the Gingerbread set. Available for 1500 V-bucks, this Epic outfit has become rare. However, players who cherish engaging in the Christmas theme will regret not having this in their inventory.
