Update: Rarities and names have been added, you can view them below. The original story did not have them yet, only the datamined images.
The latest update for Epic Games' Fortnite is now live and just like with previous patches, there were hidden treasures to find! A big part of the Fortnite fun is how creative the cosmetic items get. They're a true testament that this game doesn't take itself too seriously, and it is simply about a good time. You can't go wrong with fun, especially not with some of the new outfits that were discovered because whew, it's time to get space-y.
Though we do have the cosmetic items ready to view below, we still don't have the names or rarities yet. Though if it's like how the datamined discoveries were in the past - we should have those up and running soon enough! So, without further adieu, check out what's new below (including the three badasses above):
We also have a few new emotes to look forward to including ... erm, "YEET":
A huge thank you to Twitter user "TwoEpicBuddies" for the neat datamine. I love the space themes so seeing the new skins is pretty exciting. Plus, you can now go full Rambo? Who wouldn't want to go full Rambo?
