New \u2018Bone Chilling Gear\u2019 coming soon to Fortnite, possibly including the rare \u2018Skull Trooper\u2019 skin A brand new set of cosmetic items is coming soon to Fortnite Battle Royale, and it may very well include the highly coveted \u2018Skull Trooper\u2019 skin. The pre-lobby announcement screen in Fortnite has updated on October 9 to display a new message that \u2018bone-chilling gear\u2019 is coming to the game\u2019s Item Shop. The message includes an image of a purple skull emblem against a purple backdrop, and there is a note that the gear will be available in Fortnite \u2018tomorrow,\u2019 which would be October 10. A new Fortnite: Deep Freeze Bundle is on the wayNot only is the emblem of the announcement a literal skull, Epic Games also posted a cryptic tweet on the Fortnite Twitter page with the skull and scythe emojis and the word \u201csoon,\u201d clearly a tease on their part. With Fortnite in full Halloween mode, many had been expecting the rare Halloween-themed skin to re-feature in the shop, with some users even leaking information on the matter. Regardless, Epic\u2019s decision to bring back the Skull Trooper would certainly be a polarizing one and cause heavy commotion in the Fortnite community. Because the skin last featured in the Item Shop in November 2017, it has gained a reputation as one of the rarest and most coveted cosmetic items in the game. While newer players will certainly be thrilled to have the opportunity at purchasing it, many of the longtime players will likely be unhappy at the prospect of their prized possession becoming an everyday item. However, Epic have made it clear that no cosmetic item in Fortnite is exempt from the possibility of being re-featured in the Item Shop, especially since the company would stand to make a ton of revenue by bringing back Halloween skins.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
