Fortnite: Kid that designed the Tender Defender skin has the best reaction to finding it in-game Getting your own Fortnite skin concept added to the game would be exciting for even the biggest of designers, but for a child who submitted their own \u2013 and has no idea it\u2019s been added \u2013 it\u2019s even cooler. On September 12, Reddit user \u2018tfoust10\u2019 posted a photo of his son Connor\u2019s request to Epic Games to add his \u2018Chicken Trooper\u2019 skin idea to the game. Well, two months later and, after help from artists who gave the skin more detail and life, the Fornite publishers made his wish come true and added the \u2018Tender Defender\u2019 skin to the game. However, Connor did not know about the in-game skin until his dad posted a YouTube video of his reaction. The video begins with tfoust10 and Connor flanked by family members flicking through the Fortnite catalogue, to see, in tfoust\u2019s words if there is \u201canything good\u201d because he wants to get \u201csomething cool\u201d as his new in-game skin. After a few seconds, Connor\u2019s father \u2013 who is yet to reveal to his son what he\u2019s looking for \u2013 switches on his phone\u2019s forward-facing camera to capture a closer reaction for what is about to come. \u201cTender Defender!\u201d Connor shouts out. \u201cWe\u2019re buying it! We\u2019re buying it! We\u2019re buying it!\u201d The excitement is clear to see as the youngster, with a beaming smile on his face, leaps forward to get a closer look. \u201cWhat the heck? It\u2019s in the game!,\u201d his brother shouts with excitement. \u201cWhat?! No way!,\u201d comes another cry of excitement from the room. The whole room is abuzz at seeing Connor\u2019s creation, albeit with a little polish, come to life in one of the world\u2019s popular games.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
