Fortnite: New Cosmetic Items Leaked – Skins, Gliders, Emotes, And More!

Fortnite

Another week, another leak. The latest game to sustain a bit of information slipping through the cracks is none other than Epic Games’ Fortnite. Currently in its 4th season, the super popular title is continually taking over the world with its success. It recently crossed over with Avengers: Infinity War and brought Thanos crashing down to the island.

Now that the limited event is over, it’s time to start looking forward. 50v50 V2 has made its triumphant return, but it’s the cosmetics we’re after. Thanks to a recent leak, we now know what to look forward to. TwoEpicBuddies took to Twitter to share their findings, revealing a bounty of skins, gliders, emotes, harvesting tools, and more. Each of the items, of course, being more ridiculous than the last. After all, this is Fortnite we are talking about, and if there is one thing Epic known how to do, it’s have fun. Check out the incoming goodies below:

If you thought there would be more, you’d be correct. After all, emotes were mentioned above, and now you can check them out below (side note – we don’t know how these emotes will play out, but we need them):

Unfortunately, we don’t have any names for the above items save for the emotes. In addition to that, we also haven’t the faintest idea as to when all of these goodies will be arriving in-game. However, if it ends up being anything like previous leaks, we can expect the items to begin trickling in within the next few days.

Speaking of new and shiny, the latest Fortnite update has officially gone live. The new patch has added Epic and Legendary Burst Assault Rifles to the mix. Also joining the fun are apples! Yes, the fruit. Read more about that below in the Battle Royale patch notes, and for the full list of everything added to the game, check that out here.
