'Fortnite' Skull Trooper Makes Its Return With Exclusive Variant

Skull Trooper is back and better than ever, Fortnite players! Just in time for Halloween, the spooky and beloved outfit has finally returned and comes bearing an exclusive variant version for those that already own this outfit!

There is also a sweet Ghost Portal Back Bling reward for those players that take on the Skull Challenges with two main colour options and a purple version for original owners of the Skull Trooper outfit.

In order to unlock the reward for Skull Trooper, players must first complete the below five challenges:

• Complete 7 daily challenges
• Play 50 matches
• Play 14 matches with at least one elimination
• Search 10 chests in a single match
• Deal 1,000 damage to opponents in a single match

From there, you'll unlock the Ghost Portal that leaked a few weeks ago. The above Back Bling can be customized to the green or the blue variant, with those that previously had the Skull Trooper outfit also having access to an exclusive purple variation!

Bug Fixes

• Fixed an issue that caused moving circles to be closer to the previous safezone than intended.
• Fixed some hitches on Switch caused by blocking loads of UI data.
• Increased the texture pool size on Xbox One, which should avoid some issues with blurry textures and improve rendering performance.
• • The Outfit still appears properly in-game.
  • This issue will be fixed next patch.Skull Trooper styles have a visual issue when viewing the Outfit from the Locker.
