Fortnite 6.21 Update Reveals New Character Skins, Gliders, and More
The latest update for Fortnite, version 6.21, has brought new surprises for players to discover. Dataminers have already uncovered various character skins, gliders, back blings, and pickaxes hidden within the game files.
Among the new character outfits are a post-apocalyptic man and woman, a Halloween-themed version of the Cuddle Team Leader, and a female character riding a Fortnite llama in the Giddy-Up outfit. Additional skins include special ops agents in blue and green outfits, a shogun skin, and a scary blue and red bunny and dog—despite representing different animals, they share a common theme.
In addition, dataminers have discovered a set featuring a V-Buck image, which could potentially be part of a new console bundle or an in-game V-Bucks promotion.
The bunny and dog skins also come with unique back blings. While a pumpkin filled with candies may be late for Halloween, it will still make an appearance. Other back blings include a set of wings and some mechanical devices, as well as a cracked black block with two white circles resembling CDs.
Furthermore, gliders that were found in the game files correspond to some of the newly discovered skins. There’s one for the shogun, another for the bunny and dog set, a steampunk glider, and a modern mechanical glider that perfectly complements the special ops outfits.
The pickaxes that were also discovered likely belong to the same set as the gliders, as they share a similar theme.
Historically, datamined items have proven to be accurate, with most items becoming available within a week after the update is released. Players can expect these new skins to rotate in and out of the in-game item shop over the next few weeks.
