Fortnite For years, Fortnite has enjoyed providing fans with creative outfits, whether they be of an original design, or a collab. Yet, with hundreds of cosmetics to choose from, some of them exist in a position where they are rarer than others.

Although Fortnite has had many real-life celebrity skins in store, like John Cena, Eminem and Ariana Grande, Travis Scott remains one of the most popular and rare Icon Series skins, with fans demanding a comeback. This skin appeared once back in 2020 during an in-game concert and has never come back since. Every year, leakers spread rumors about a possible return of the Travis Scott skin, but none have come true.
Fans of the beloved artist have pleaded with Epic to return this skin in-store, but Epic has not revealed any information regarding a possible comeback. While there is no official statement on the situation, fans can speculate, and the rotation of the Item Shop remains a mystery shrouded in unknown issues surrounding the rights to characters and likenesses.
4 Galaxy
Play 3 Matches On A Samsung Galaxy Note 9 / Samsung Galaxy Tab S4
- Introduced In: Chapter 1, Season 5
- Release Date: 10 August, 2018
Epic first introduced Fortnite mobile for Android users in 2018 and, as part of the collaboration, gifted players the Galaxy skin. This skin was exclusive to Samsung Galaxy devices and required players to buy the Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 or the Samsung Galaxy Note 9.
Only players who purchased these devices received the Galaxy skin as a reward when playing Fortnite mobile, making the skin quite rare. Players can no longer get their hands on the Galaxy skin in Fortnite, but Epic replaced it with the Glow skin. While Glow is almost similar to Galaxy, it has never been as in-demand or popular.
3 Royale Bomber
PS4 Console Bundle Exclusive
- Introduced In: Chapter 1, Season 4
- Release Date: 1 May, 2018
Royale Bomber was a promotional skin in Fortnite introduced in 2018. Players who wanted this skin had to purchase one of the Fortnite PlayStation 4 Bundles. The Royale Bomber wasn’t a popular cosmetic choice for Fortnite players until 2019 when Kyle "Bugha" Giersdorf won the Fortnite World Cup with it equipped.
This feat of victory made the skin so popular that it became a go-to cosmetics for many fans and collectors. Unfortunately, Epic have no current plans to add this skin to the Item Shop, thus, it is now impossible to get it, unless players can find a code somewhere. Despite this, it’s a highly desirable item, and many Fortnite players pay an arm and a leg to acquire the Royal Bomber.

The Renegade Raider is one of the oldest skins in Fortnite, making an appearance in the game before the Battle Pass system was even a thing.

Every Season Of Fortnite, Ranked
Fortnite is one of the most popular games and part of this is due to the game reinvigorating itself with season updates.
Since Fortnite was still new at the time, very few managed to get their hands on the Renegade Raider. Any player who has it and lands in a match with this iconic skin will turn heads and stand out. If players miss out on this skin, then it is not possible to get it by any other means.
1 Aerial Assault Trooper
Level 15 of Season 1's Season Shop
- Introduced In: Chapter 1, Season 1
- Cost: 1,200 V-Bucks
- Release Date: 26 October, 2017
- Last Seen: 13 December, 2017
- Appearances: 49
The Aerial Assault Trooper is the oldest skin on this list, introduced in Fortnite Season 1. Players had to purchase the skin for 1,200 V-Bucks, but it was only available after reaching level 15. When this skin existed, Fortnite was fairly new and didn’t have as large a fan base and player count, so many didn’t buy the skin.
Although the Aerial Assault Trooper isn’t as cool or stylish as the others on this list, it’s quite a rare site, since only a few select players own it. As one of the first outfits ever introduced in the game, not many players rushed to get the skin, especially when it required them to unlock it and then buy it for an absurd price of V-Bucks for a basic Rare skin.
