Numerous new Fortnite skins revealed through datamining in update 4.5

Fortnite’s New Update Reveals Exciting Skins and Cosmetics

The latest update of Fortnite has just been released, and eager dataminers have wasted no time in uncovering a treasure trove of new skins and cosmetics hidden within the game’s files.

The discovery of these new skins was made by @TwoEpicBuddies on Twitter, a consistent source of leaked content with each game update. The image they posted showcases a total of nine eye-catching skins.

Some of the new skins seem to embrace a patriotic theme, likely in anticipation of the upcoming Independence Day celebration in the United States on July 4. Among them are two men and women wearing red, white, and blue, as well as a teddy bear sporting a similar aesthetic.

Other exciting additions include two detectives with a mysterious vibe, female versions of the Battle Pass skins Carbide and Omega, as well as a stunning new hero clad in orange armor. The Epic skins revealed are Fireworks Team Leader, Sleuth, Noir, and Gumshoe. Vertex and Criterion are Legendary skins, while StarSpangled Trooper and Ranger are Uncommon.

But the skins are just the beginning. TwoEpicBuddies also shared the gliders, back blings, pickaxes, and emotes that complete these sets. There are five new gliders, seven back blings, four pickaxes, and five emotes soon to be available in the store.

The new Epic gliders are Terminus and Viceroy Mark I, while the Legendary ones are Destabilizer and Stabilizer. Forerunner is a Rare glider. The Epic back blings include Blasting Cap, Confidential Case, Evidence Bag, and Cluefinder, with Deflector being the Legendary item. Lastly, Razor Edge, Crimson Axe, and Magnifying Axe are three new Rare pickaxes, and Victory Lap is Uncommon.

The collection of new emotes includes True Heart (Epic), Eagle (Rare), Infinite Dab (Rare), Bring It (Uncommon), and Sparkler (Uncommon).

All of these freshly revealed skins are expected to be highly sought after once they are added to the store in the coming weeks. Epic Games has consistently made these skins available shortly after dataminers uncover them, so players can anticipate purchasing them with V-Bucks in the next week or two. Additionally, more exciting cosmetics are expected to be added to the game in future updates.
