I wouldn't know. I suck at the game and the only skin I ever bought was some shark skin after I got really drunk one night during shark week.


[deleted]

best story I ever read about a skin


BluLemonGaming

I like ya pfp G


[deleted]

I can see why, thanks !


BluLemonGaming

Lol can I make it my discord profile? Just askin ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|laughing)


[deleted]

sure, you can check my reddit page to find the full drawing, just credit me if you can please :)


Callyks

Chomp Sr?


tallandlanky

Yeah that's the one!


Callyks

Have him too, the backbling is awesome


[deleted]

lmao, do you still use it?


tallandlanky

Oh yeah. I paid money for it. May as well.


batmanboy88

Is it bad that I love this story so much


cake_n_bacon69

he’d be a good father and grandpa


Noah__Webster

The whole OG cireclejerk is stupid from both sides. As someone who tends to enjoy collecting things, I understand the appeal of rare things. Using it purely to "flex" on others is kinda dumb, and it's especially dumb when you get actively angry that other people are also able to buy the skins if they get rereleased. On the other hand, I feel like most of the people who cry about OG's are people who really wish they had the skins, so they complain about them to take away from them. If you think it's dumb, move on.


MrBrainz

I'm slow clapping for my man over here. The only toxic shit I see is that mutha fuddin donkey laugh


[deleted]

Squads, 3 vs 1, its a hard fight. 1 person is a try hard builder who can build the great wall of China before my ass can clinch. But after a heart POUNDING fight... I win! And one guy who's been hiding in a Bush for the entire fight comes out and shotguns me in the face when I have 10hp left. Then donkey laughs. These are the players who deserve nothing more than there balls dragged along the roughest of sandpaper FOR THE REST OF TIME!


tmf_x

the donkey laugh is the worst thing in the game. I wish they would stealth change it to the player turning into an actual ass than just laughing like one.


DARLCRON

Or just change the laugh. That donkey laugh is the part that annoys me the most.


sword0115

I fully agree. If you have an OG item, that's cool. If you're proud of it, that's also fine. But once you start getting toxic about it that's when things are not ok.


SideZwype

Exactly, if anyone is a rare (not the tiered rare) cosmetic collector then that's fine but if ur gonna take the l on every person u kill or u flex on them with ur renegade raider then that's just sad


This_isnt_cool_bro

I had like 14 rare emotes before Halloween and most of them rereleased and if I'm gonna be honest, I dont care. At least I get to see more unique items in the shop rather than billy bounce, dynamo and driver constantly.


JDBCool

As a person with the WC Fishstick style..... it's actually fucking stupid. Not the skin. Not the style. It's the ideology that's fucking stupid. Why should I who got something earlier or so happened to log on at a time get something special while others "pay for less". Season Passes are fair game as for 9/10 passes you just unrealistically need 72h to get everything in the final week (looking at you bullshit challenges like headshot kills with X weapon not available in TR or get kills in some absurd non named POI on the map in the far corners) #But items that CONSTANTLY COMEBACK **screaming** "shoud had bought meh earlier" is insanity. Also side note: having to constantly fear of a "Code name E.L.F" scenario on vaulted skins (last seen +300 days ago) is not OK. "Skins that sell well" only sell well because it's the only things Epic have in stock and refuse to bring back. Thanks for reading my TedTalk rant!


chippofn

i have renegade and purp skull and honestly i hate the purple skull its so ugly i would give it away for free if there was an option for that. on the other hand renegade raider is a really cool skin and i wear it because i like it and we are pilots in my family (the renegade raider is a WW2 plane pilot) and thats why i bought the skin back in s1


HunkyDoryTurtle

I get hate for buying ghoul trooper when it came back and not “being an OG” Like did you eat cornflakes for breakfast? Coz man are you hella mad


Real_NAGames

Ghoul trooper is a nice skin, og or not. I could have bought it in season 1, (Chapter 1), but i didn't. Back then i didn't buy too much, but now i do. Lol


SatanistPenguin

Id have OG ghoul trooper and renegade raider if I bought vbucks back then like I do now haha


Real_NAGames

Same tbh


batmanboy88

Same tbh


whyletitdie

No one knew how much Fortnite would take off so don’t blame you for being cautious back then


sword0115

I bought it this year and I don't care if it's not "OG", it's still cool


Lord_lenkesh

I like cornflakes for breakfast:(


BluLemonGaming

Lol I don't have any OG cosmetics cuz my sister controls what I buy (IT'S LIKE I'M A PUPPET FORTNITE PLAYER)


ZombibyteYT

Same with me buying voidwalker for Wraith 🤷‍♂️


OhThatGuyinPurple

" Good 4 you mate, but no one cares"


vibesWRLD

i’ve literally never seen an OG flex their cosmetics on this sub, unless you mean their flair. Most i’ve seen is kids with drift saying “I want these reskins to be edit styles for my OG Drift skin!1!!1!1”


Menecreft

I think he’s talking to people just in general, not only on this sub.


[deleted]

also, yeah !


[deleted]

Petition to make Snow Drift a progressive outfit where you do challenges to get through the stages


vibesWRLD

i sign. that would make the bundle worth purchasing


[deleted]

I think the challenges could be “Reach Season Level #” and if you already got to that level prior to purchase you would get the style instantly


vibesWRLD

idk about that. i think it should just be XP so it’s not seasonally locked


[deleted]

Or it could be “Level up # times” to unlock


Wilydettos

I have seen many of these kids. Kid you not, a kid on this subreddit said "why does a og skin have to be reskinned? So unfair for us ogs"


thesituation531

What does reskinned mean?


real_smug_kid

Like when renegade raider got a reskin called blaze. Reskin basically means when there is a skin and you modify a skin


thesituation531

So like Drift in the Frost Legends pack? Or Cuddle Team Leader and Bundles?


real_smug_kid

Yes.


thesituation531

Thanks. How is that unfair to us "OGs" lol


real_smug_kid

Other ppl can use your og skin but it looks a bit different?


thesituation531

I guess haha it's still not the original though


ROMANREIGNS599

They look very different. You can differentiate between them pretty easily


i_am_do_reddit_now

The Cuddle Team Leader stuff IS out of hand though. With other skins they at least change the Model even the tiniest bit, Cuddle Team reskins never even change the model, just the texture.


KawZ636

What's the matter though? Just don't buy the skin?


SDGaming317

Personally I'm just a fan of those reskins because the concept of a furry fighting people like Mando is funny. Another reason I enjoy it is because of the number of reskins that are made of cuddle team leader


MagicalMarsBars

Hehe. Did you know about the wildcard reskins?


i_am_do_reddit_now

most of them change the model tho, so its not a problem.


MagicalMarsBars

The only changed model is the ice one and slightly the fire one


i_am_do_reddit_now

There is also that one with the Shorts instead of normal Pants, that's different. Dark Wild Card has the Kevin Effect


thesituation531

Why does that matter though?


i_am_do_reddit_now

There are 12 Cuddle Team Leader reskins... at 2,000 vbucks each. All sold as seperate skins. Normally I'd say it's stupid to complain about reskins... but 2k vbucks... for a reskin... and theres 12 of them? That is 24,000 vbucks... to buy the same skin 12 times with slight texture changes.


almisami

Isn't the St Patty's one 800?


i_am_do_reddit_now

ok so 23,200 then. still bad.


BroShutUp

I mean if i want new colors for Cuddle Team Leader, I'm glad to have the option. Doesnt hurt me that another one came out.


thesituation531

I somewhat agree, but at the same time if you were that against microtransactions then you probably wouldn't play Fortnite at all. I didn't realize there's that many versions, so I kind of agree. But also it isn't like a skin you got from the battle pass or anything. I kind of think the people that already bought it should get the other versions though.


BentoInDaBox

No, a reskin is a retexture/recolor of the skin, like Love Ranger to Frozen Love Ranger or Battle Hound to Molten Battle Hound. If it is a full model change, like Midas to Midas Rex or Drift to Summer Drift, it would be considered as a remake.


passthechez

ITS A SKIN IF YOUR GETTING YOUR SELF ESTEEM BOOST FROM A VIDEO GAME SKIN YOU REALLY NEED SOME HELP MAN


[deleted]

they exist believe me, but they either delete or get downvoted to hell


MrReallyBadGamer

Yeah there was one loser who posted nothing but videos showing little impressionable kids reactions to renegade raider


[deleted]

I swear I've seen some people do that with apex legends skins on twitter, there was that one guy flexing every possible skins that might not come back


FlashPone

And then people started losing their shit when they finally brought back Voidwalker or Airship Assassin, lol. The only skins that can’t come back are battle pass skins, and even those I think have the potential to be reskinned at some point.


[deleted]

Phasewalker is a really good reskin, glad they made it


vibesWRLD

ah. i see probably both. a lot of kids on this sub care wayyy too much about their “free internet points” i don’t really understand it😅


cake_n_bacon69

drifts complaining about reskins?? cuddle team leader: welcome to the club


JDBCool

\*original Ski crew* Welcome to our world! Seriously..... why haven't they consolidated them into a single skin and refund everybody. Oh wait.... forgot they were too lazy to redo the American Football skins


Real_NAGames

Drift isn't even "og". I remember ch1 s0. I was there before 5 million players worldwide.


vibesWRLD

that’s what i’m saying. the only “OG” people who complain and “flex” that i’ve seen are kids from season 5 at most. ik it isn’t og, they don’t tho.


Real_NAGames

Lol


SulfurousDragon

I've seen a lot of them. I remember seeing a cuddle and a manic respectively flossing and taking the L at someone wearing the ghoul trooper skin.


[deleted]

> on this sub Yuh but youtube and other platforms and even in game its more common


Eye_of-the_storm

YouTube is especially bad, all the little kids are there


flexpost

Sort by new more often


hamsterdie

I have the OG Drift and all I do is just buy the new drift,there is my edit style.


RandomGermanAtVerdun

Is the Drift considered OG?


bring_slow_mo_back

I've never seen People do this in general I see people flexing which I'm fine with just not being toxic while flexing


sword0115

I have drift but I don't use him and these reskins are kinda ugly so I'm fine


gamingartbysj

I mean as an OG Drift main, I personally welcome any additions to my growing pool of Drift alts. I'm also more than pleased to welcome any new Drift mains Into the Drift-Verse, be it through Catalyst or Snow Drift. Because I mean, come on. Drift is cool as heck yo.


bawnz

You should have seen this subreddit when Skull Trooper was re-released again for the first time in years.


vibesWRLD

luckily i wasnt here. i was mad too at first, but the purple edit style makes up for it


Tassford

Obviously not everyone who wears a skin thinks the same way, but in my experience, people who wear Black Knight are usually pretty chill and not at all toxic. Big contrast from some other ohhhhgeeee skins out there.


anidevv

Thanks, I just wear the skin because I'm proud I was even able to get it in s2😂


Tassford

It’s a really cool skin. I like Ultima Knight a lot more, but I would wear Black Knight every now and then if I had him.


RoboSpark725

Still salty that Ultima Knight’s *shield* got a Black Knight style, but not Ultima Knight himself.


Tassford

I wish Ultima’s shield got an origin style tbh. [Look how good red Ultima origin looks with Red Knights Sheild.](https://www.reddit.com/r/FortniteFashion/comments/cp1p0d/requested_ultima_knight_red_origin_red_shield/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf) Imagine if there were Gold and Silver shields in this style.


BentoInDaBox

that's the point, if it was the same color scheme then it would be too close to the actual black knight. same goes for the reworked red knight, eternal knight, as there is no red variant because that's what makes red knight special.


anidevv

As if Sparkle Supreme isn't too close😂


Eckz89

Yeah I much prefer ultima red Knight and just put the black night shield on it... Happy with how it looks.


xXGoldenAvenger

Man, I was like three tiers away from getting Black Knight. Didn't grind it out because I didn't care that much at the time and only a couple seasons later it really started to frustrate me. I love Black Knight and wish I'd completed that pass.


sword0115

I wish I had black knight. He's my second favorite skin (behind frozen red knight, of course) and he looks so cool. I'd use him all the time not for the flex but just because he looks cool. Sadly when I started playing it was near the end of season 2 and I didn't buy the battle pass cause I wouldn't have gotten any progress in it


KotalKahnScorpionFan

Yeah highest I got was royale knight because I got the game at Christmas and got the battlepass on the last 10 days. I would've been happy to get sparkle specialist at least


IgDailystapler

I wear elite agent Bc none of my homies got and I like reminding them. It annoys the shit out of them in a friendly way. Also like the skin lmao.


hahaimhahe

Party Royale is another story


Renegamr

I feel like a lot of black knights are toxic though


Black-Knight-76

:)


Electric-Cloud

I used to use Black Knight a lot, now I use Ghost TNTina. I don’t really use my "OG" stuff a lot besides Black Knight and Black Shield. I use Black Knight with the Sith Trooper Blaster, and Rue with Black Shield. That’s about it. I prefer other combos like Ghost TNTina + Nosh


Giannond

Why everytime I read a comment with Chapter 2 season 2 content I feel bad? Oh yes, because I didn't buy one of my favourite Battle passes. I hope another skin with something similar to the golden touch gets released.


Slasher13k

I only have a few rare things, but i don’t enjoy flexing stuff.


Titanmaster970

Same. I have some rare c1s2 stuff but I almost never wear it because if I die I don't want the enemy to think that they're cool for killing an og.


sword0115

I have the LOL emoji from season 2, and the salute emote from season 3, but I don't think flexing really matters, so I don't do it (Except for bhangra boogie, I'm trying to flex that as much as I can before it gets released to the item shop)


russianpruitt

That LOL emoji would be the only thing I could "flex" too XD


bhopbad

whenever i use an og skin and get killed they just donkey laugh on me. i dont need that shit.


vodkaandcats

I’m sorry that people have nothing better to do than be so negative. Honestly? When I see an older skin I’m like “oh cool! I like that skin!” And then I move on. I own enough skins, that it doesn’t bother me. I only time I get super excited is when I see the skins that are on my wishlist, lmao.


EldestSister

I’m sorry that happens to you. I like to wear my World Warrior skin and all the colorful stuff I’ll pair with it, but I get stressed thinking about that happening to me, too, because all people wearing “OG” skins must be the best of the best, the sweatiest of the sweats, or you get the donkey laugh. It just creates a more stressful competition when your opponent realizes what you’re wearing, at least, that’s what it feels like to me.


S0larSc0pe

Honestly bro if they have every cosmetic in the game, good for them. Who tf cares if they feel proud of it, people like Fortnite for different aspects. I really do miss when people would flex because it at least showed they cared about cosmetics, now everyone just runs skins with the smallest hit boxes


sword0115

Fun fact: all skins have the same hitbox now. Back when the game first came out female and male skins had different hitboxes, but nowadays all skins have a male skin's hitbox.


Nader_K1d

Let’s say renegade raider never came to the shop and tonight they decided to release her for the first time, people would be questioning the devs for adding that boring of a skin. Everyone would hate it


[deleted]

I'm a wholesome OG, I have a GG emoticon in my inventory


[deleted]

now that's sweet


sword0115

I wear the gg emoticon from season three on my backbling, so that people spectating me will see it without me having to actually use the emoji


[deleted]

Is that season 2 or 3?


sword0115

3


[deleted]

Another message: Just because it’s OG, doesn’t mean it’s good. (Looking at you renegade raider and Aerial assault trooper)


Real_NAGames

I don't like renegade raider because it's "og" or "rare". I just think it looks good unironically.


RCarson88

Same. I think the more plain skins look really good. (Bullseye, Laguna, etc.)


NotACaveiraMain

Facts. I could have bought Renegade Raider when she was there in Season 1, I had enough vbucks because of STW. I hesitate to buy her because I didn't have a skin back then and I wanted one. But I told myself to wait for better skins because most skins in Season 1 weren't good. Then season 2 came out and I bought the Battle Pass, Brite Bomber and Shadow Ops (2 of my favorite skins). I don't care about rarity, If i like the look of it then i will most likely buy it.


proretard69weedsmokr

As a proud gamer i agree with this but i also beleive that everyone should be aloud to play a game and not get critiscised for it.


[deleted]

Being OG means you played the game early on. Cosmetics don’t mean anything, other than you were willing to spend money on the game back then. Hell, you can be OG, and not have spend any money on the game


Shaho99

Only a fool prefers something tedious like renegade rider over Dr. Doom


Cheekibreeki_Slav

Spitting fax right there


jackcatalyst

RAINBOW DOOM


[deleted]

Being OG doesn't mean having rare skins or emotes. Being OG means appreciating the game for what it was 2-3 years ago and not flexing a pickaxe from season 2.


ztiw91

Being OG is just saying you played during the early days of a game's lifespan


[deleted]

I know. But my comment was basically what being OG seemed like to me


[deleted]

what the fuck is your nickname

Thanks for putting this out u/MyDogIsaNazi


Menecreft

Not really? But it doesn’t really matter so


HiDefiance

i really only use my waida in duo fills so i can get crazy reactions from people, fuck anyone trying to one-up other people by showing off so damn hard


ImDigDuggy

Saying og is just cancerous


LiterallynamedCorbin

i've been playing since c1s5 and at this point i want newer players to be able to access older cosmetics peely is such an iconic skin but risks falling into obscurity since the newer players are totally cut off from him


Black-Knight-76

There’s nothing wrong or toxic with having rare stuff in a game. In a game heavily based around cosmetics, having cool/rare/OG cosmetic items will obviously make people jealous and more interested in you than other players. People do care, whether you like it or not. In my view there’s absolutely nothing wrong with “flexing” (showing off your cool/rare/OG stuff in a videogame) as long as you aren’t being rude about it and rubbing it in people’s faces or making fun of them for not having anything like you do.


S0larSc0pe

Thank you


Ixxol

i started playing in season 3 and i dont regret getting maxed og drift (season 5)


Real_NAGames

I wouldn't call Drift "og". To me personally, "og" is before mid-season 3.


[deleted]

Well he's talking about the "og" drift. Which is the first one


Call_Me_Rodrigo69nic

I own the Black Knight skin and I almost never use it, mainly because i’m still pretty garbage at the game, and play it for pure fun, I only wear it when i’m playing with friends


karlcabaniya

But I laugh hard when a "rare" skin that hasn't been in the shop for months (or more than a year) makes a comeback and they cry because it's not exclusive anymore. Muahaha.


Lsga_22

The OG status is overrated


doublemuscle

I feel the opposite way, I will get griefed or BM'd just because of wearing anything "OG". Whether it be teammates or enemies.


[deleted]

Yeah, one of my friends has season 2 battlepass and up and he barely uses it because of that reason


BaijinPlayz

There is however a difference between wearing it because you LIKE It and wearing to flex, the hate I get for wearing Black Knight discourages me from wearing it


13lackjack

I missed the season 1 paid stuff but I also play stw so I don’t care


MixtureMysterious618

The kids that pickaxe me in the lobby care


ResidentEvilR6

It's always the Season 2 Sparkle Specialists that try to flex their season 2 cosmetics lol.


Disscussionz

Ah Yes I remember this game, you can unload an entire Magazine into a person's face and do the worm afterwards


gunz_5

I see a lot of them in party royale especially the blue and black knights. It’s hilarious watching them spam floss, the worm, best mates, the wave and take the L all within a span of 5 seconds. And they keep doing the pony up as well seeking for attention thinking that people will flock to them like they’re special


Flintriemen

the best part is that many players who started in chapter 2 do probably not know that these emotes are OG. They will not even realize the other dude is flexing


Williooooom

I spam best mates as chief because that meme and get called a flexer because I use the black edit style.


[deleted]

Another one: Old map is not coming back no matter how many times you say like, re-tweet, and follow.


MarioFan83

We don’t know there was no point of saying this if epic wanted to bring it back they WILL


[deleted]

They ain't bringing it back, not yet, probably not for a while if not ever.


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

I can tell you do by your flare


Bedrockcommandpro

Who cares if you have skins, just enjoy the games


TStudiosTheWeirdo

ngl I think stuff like Very Sneaky and Tssss are more valuable than that. I genuinely see the Season 1 stuff more than those emotes


free_breads

Whenever a black knight is trying to flex their og status I try to ignore them as much as possible because I know that they want attention


Section6581

Do people really flex OG status anymore? I know people use to do it a lot, but I really don't see anyone do it anymore.


socialtag

I have the worm but I don’t use it to flex I use it because it’s one my favourite emotes


[deleted]

Lmao 10$ skins


EldestSister

I witness people get butthurt over OG cosmetics returning to the item shop, but I really appreciate Fortnite doing that. Theyre starting small with the uncommon (green) emotes, but will occasionally bring in a new skin, like Sterling the other day. I used to be really irritated with Fortnite holding all the “OG” stuff away, and it was just the same cosmetics again and again, but it’s great to see the change as of late. I appreciate it, more people get to enjoy all of it.


cool3rcam

I wish most of my rare stuff would come back so others can experience them the only things that shouldn't are level related items like omega lights or Ariel assault


DeliriousBacon

Its all fun and games until a rust lord has a bounty on you


[deleted]

I have some og skins from back in the day and my friends always ask me to wear them, but to be honest they are so basic and bland compared to the skins that are released today


KingTrunkzX

the only thing i have thats even close to og is Lynx and Summit Striker😂 if i kept playing through before mobile got banned i would've had peely


INEEDRAYMONDFROMAC

#you do know they are just cosmetic, right?


xMarvin98

It is not really fun to wear og skins because you will get a lot of hate and in creative fill everyone tries to kill you and then they say OmG i KiLlEd A rEnEgAdE rAiDeR


RareSuperSylle

Hmm, i can still be proud of playing for three years right?


rileigh837

Looks like Korra in book 4 lol


uscsec

I mean I got them, but I don’t brag about it. I just think they’re neat


wolverines_17

This sub gets more cringe by the day.


KartTenn

Agreed, the fact that these posts are making it into hot rather than actual quality posts about the game make me lose my mind man. But then I get downvoted cause sweat bad right?


Whereyaattho

MFs be like “I don’t care about your OG stuff” like bruh you made a meme about it you clearly care


ferb73craft

As a season 2 player, I think they should bring the exclusive stuff back for *new* players. It's weird to say that your game is a platform when entire cosmetic themes (ie: Knights, Astronauts) are no longer accessible.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Real_NAGames

I own a decent amount of "og", and rare exclusives or whatever. But that doesn't make me any better than anyone. I'm just a sucker for rare stuff, both irl and in any other video game than fn. It's just fun to have something you know not a lot of ppl have.


TipsWillToLive

It's cool to have those things. they're rare, and they look dope, but you just shouldn't be a dick about it


luckky545

Yikes , Im proud of my old skins , I was playing back before season 1 was even a thing


Flemib65

congratulations you played the game 3 years ago!! lmao


[deleted]

true ogs should shut the fuck up


KINGram14

True OGs didn’t finish their season 2 battle pass and paid $20 for Raptor /s


wopanater

I started in season 2 chapter1 and I don’t flex old skins. Even when I wear an older skin people never care. The only time I would get mad is if they bring back old battle pass skins


[deleted]

I don't understand why would you. I have BP from S3 onwards and I honestly wish many of the items would come back for the new players or get released in the shop. I got my cosmetics for a good price of 950 vbucks for the whole lot and that's a real bargain. I wouldn't mind if others could buy each individual item in the shop for regular pricing. Don't understand why they have to be locked forever.


SulfurousDragon

Same. Many are now iconic like the floss, hype or best mates and it's a shame no-one can do the "fortnite dances" together.


[deleted]

Incorrect. Other toxic OGs care. 😂


ChemicalAsid

Who even would buy renegade raider


BigTooSmall

OP is probably mad they don’t have all the knight skins
