10 Best Legendary Skins On Fortnite | Screen Rant

Fortnite has some of the best character designs on its platform, all unique and covering multiple niches to ensure everyone can find one to their liking. Their Legendary skins are some of their most expensive, 2,000 V-Bucks each,  but intricate options are available in the shop or attained through their Battle Pass.

Legendary skins aren't called 'legendary' for no reason. These skins usually have interchangeable styles or come with accessories such as a matching pickaxe, glider, and back bling. The list for these Legendary skins alone is extensive, but there are a few majorly unique and put-together designs that seem to shine out amongst the rest.

Arachne/Spider Knight

Arachne and Spider Knight are part of the Arachnid set. Arachnophobia fans, beware of this dark set that can be purchased from the shop as it appears. Players may also want to purchase the matching Web Breaker pickaxe and Hatchling glider.

This creepy-crawly set has two individual character skins with spider-like armor. Their helmets have tiny little eyes as a spider would, grayish skin, and dark spiky points erupting from different angles. Spider Knight has a Spider Shield back bling, and Archanid has Long Legs back bling that looks like eight spidery legs. This set was first introduced in the first chapter of Fortnite and continues to make appearances in the shop every so often.

Vi

Vi is another version of the Drift skins that was one of the first Fortnite Crew skins that popped up at the beginning of 2021. Fortnite players had to sign up to be a part of the Fortnite Crew to get this Legendary skin for free with her alternate style and accessories.

Vi seems to be an even more in-depth alternative Drift skin with her open-faced fox helm, long flawing paw cape, and thigh boots. She also came with an alternate style of icy blue that changed her outfit, and the Crooked Claw pickaxe and Foxbow Quiver back bling. She is also one of the few reactive skins, meaning her outfit actually gives off light and glows in certain locations. There is no saying if this set will appear in the shop again, but if it does, it will most likely cost players a small fee.

Eternal Knight

Eternal Knight was the tier 100 skin of Chapter 2, Season 13 of Fortnite. It is undoubtedly one of the best medieval style character skins available so far, with varying color styles for the armor and changeable style for the pickaxe.

Players who reached the very last tier of this Battle Pass could snatch up this Legendary knight skin with her matching glider and pickaxe. Eternal Knight has two different style colors players can change: black, gold, and defaulted silver and black. However, players could active the super level mode on this skin that made the armor evolve and glow vibrantly as they gained levels. The matching pickaxe could also change styles into dual daggers or one large blade.

Ravage/Raven

The Nevermore set, Raven and Ravage, are more skins that entered early into the launch of Fortnite. They are often available in the shop, either combined into the full set or bought separately with their back blings and trails. The Iron Beak pickaxe and Feathered Flyer glider can be bought separately to match.

Raven and Ravage are perhaps some of the scariest skins in Fortnite with their glowing purple eyes and mysterious hooded appearances. The bird obviously inspires their designs with its purplish-blue feathers and taloned fingers. Ravage comes with an Iron Cage back bling that almost appears as a spine, and Raven comes with Dark Wings. Their accessories, glider, pickaxe, trail, and back bling combined make them that much more ominous in appearance.

GLOW

GLOW was an extraordinary Legendary skin that was part of what proved to be one of the best Fortnite collabs ever as players with Samsung mobile phones attained the skin completely for free. It is almost identical to the Fate skin, but the outfit is a shimmering silver-purple color, and she has glowing blue eyes and fingers.

Players could unlock this skin in their locker by logging into their Epic Games account on their Samsung devices, plugging in a valid credit card, and redeeming it. The skin, as well as a special Levitate emote, was included completely for free.

John Wick

Fortnite fans will remember the original Reaper skin that everyone claimed looked like the character John Wick with his beard and suit. However, when this John Wick skin came around, players were given the real representation of the character played by Keanu Reeves, available for purchase in the shop.

John Wick is one of the best fandom outfit skins, added as a buyable set to the shop originally as promo for the third John Wick movie back in 2019. Fans were thrilled to be able to play as the iconic character designed perfectly to look like Keanu Reeves. It also came with the Assassin Pack back bling, Simple Sledge pickaxe, and alternate 'damaged' style that portrayed the character more roughed up and weathered. Players can still claim this iconic skin as it cycles through the shop.

Mecha Cuddle Master

Mecha Cuddle Master was also part of the Fortnite Crew and appears to be a new and improved version of the already beloved skin Cuddle Team Leader. Any players who signed up for Fortnite Crew got this Mecha Anime-inspired skin for free.

Fortnite had teased the entrance to this skin for a while, revealing it in loading screens and casually in the background of different promos. It landed in the game at last during the sixth season of Chapter 2 as part of the Fortnite Crew reward. It was obvious from the trailer's Japanese narration and whimsical music that this was an anime-inspired design. Mecha Cuddle Master is a one-of-a-kind character skin with her mech suit, Nuzzle Jet, and Psytronic bow, and will hopefully make a return to the shop soon.

Galaxy Scout

The Galaxy Scout skin is another extraordinary Legendary skin with all matching accessories. It first made its appearance as part of the Galaxy Cup, one of the best Fortnite events, where players who owned Samsung Galaxy products could compete to win the skin. But now players can find it in the shop up for purchase every once in a while.

This skin is one of the most unique character skins available with its all galaxy-esque 'camo' from head to foot and dazzling blue neon eyes, fingers, and shoes. It's usually found in the Galaxy Pack bundle where players can buy the matching Nucleus back bling, Stardust Striker pickaxe Celestia Glider, and Star Scout weapon wrap altogether included with the skin.

Catalyst/Drift

Catalyst and Drift are some of the most well-loved character skins so far in Fortnite because of their many style options and colors, and because of their zesty, fashionable appearance.

Catalyst and Drift were both parts of Battle Passes and could be upgraded, unlocking new styles options as players completed quests and leveled up. Both begin very simply, and in the end turn out to be these robed, masked individuals with supercharge electricity flowing all around them. They are some of the best tier-one Legendary skins that players received from Battle Pass so far with their high fashion look and varying potential.

Torin

Torin is one of the more recent Legendary skins that players obtained through the Battle Pass. Fans believed she could have been inspired by the character Anna from Frozen with her braids and purple cape.

Torin is another character skin that seems to be one of a kind, with an all-new facial appearance and hairstyle. She has several different style options with different colors, and her special emote allows her to shift into the Sideways Warrior, an alien-looking skin hidden beneath. Her Datafiber Chargepack back bling also happens to be a very unique design that reveals the number of kills the player has while playing. She can wield a pink Lightblade that looks like a futuristic katana.
