How many skins are in Fortnite?

Fortnite Lawless Battle Pass skins

Despite its age, Fortnite has managed to hold its spot as one of the best PC games you can play today. There are tons of other things to do in Fortnite now aside from finding the best ways to win, such as concerts and other events. But, for a lot of people, it is the skins that draw them back for every new Fortnite season. With the game being out for so many years, the number of skins in the game has grown to absurd levels. It has reached the point where almost every fictional (and sometimes real) character has a Fortnite skin. Between regular releases of skins and special event skins involving IPs like Star Wars, Family Guy, Marvel, and more, every player has a very unique locker full of cosmetics to bust out in a given match.

It might feel like there are too many skins in the game to keep track of, but there are folks out there who have been doing just that. Here’s how many skins are in Fortnite right now.

By using the incredibly useful tool over at FNBR.co, an online database that tracks the release of all Fortnite cosmetics and item shop refreshes, we know that there is a total of 2,221 skins that have been available in Fortnite as of now. You can check the current Fortnite skin count yourself by using the database’s Item type filter to view only Outfits. You can also filter based on Battle Royale, LEGO, Rocket Racing, and Fortnite Festival.

This database also allows you to search for skins based on the season in which they were released and their rarity. You can also use the database to track other cosmetic items like back bling, pickaxes, gliders, emotes, and more.

While it’s a bit trickier than recording total cosmetic figures, this website will also attempt to let you know when certain cosmetics might pop up in the item store again. If there’s a certain Fortnite skin you’ve got an eye on, you can search for it in the database and see when it might be available to purchase again.

Remember Flappy Bird? It’s back as an Android exclusive

Epic Games Store has brought Flappy Bird, the viral game where you tap repeatedly tap the screen to guide the bird as far as you can without hitting pipes and other obstacles, back to Android devices over a decade after it disappeared.

According to a report from Polygon, Flappy Bird Publishing relaunched Flappy Bird as an Android-exclusive game with help from Epic Games after game developer Dong Nguyen pulled it from Apple's App Store and Google Play Store in 2014. Last year, Nguyen said he was not involved in the game's revival nor is he making any profit from it.

How to purchase Reboot Cards in Fortnite
Fortnite Reboot Vans

Since its introduction in Season 8 of Fortnite Battle Royale, the reboot mechanic has been a game-changer for team-based modes such as Duos, Trios, and Squads. When a teammate is eliminated, they drop a Reboot Card, a little chip that floats in the location where they were defeated. Teammates must race against the clock to get the card before it vanishes and deliver it to one of the Reboot Vans positioned throughout the map.

Activating the van takes a tense 10 seconds, restoring the fallen player with only 100 health, a Common Pistol, and 100 wood, leaving them defenseless yet still in the fight. This high-stakes concept adds strategic depth by forcing squads to consider the hazards of retrieving cards while under enemy fire vs leaving an ally to push for a Victory Royale. While Reboot Vans are unbreakable, they make a loud noise and emit a blue light when used, which can attract unwelcome attention and add to the challenge.

Fortnite is getting another Star Wars tie-in, this time with Jar Jar Binks
Star Wars in Fortnite

Fortnite's next Battle Pass is Star Wars themed (and appropriately dubbed Galactic Battle), and it will be here in less than two weeks on May 2. It also adds Darth Jar Jar, so get ready for a lot of "mesa winner" jokes in the near future. The news broke during Star Wars Celebration and included a lot of details about what the new additions might bring, including adding Force Lightning as an in-game ability.

Besides Death Jar Jar, other skins like Emperor Palpatine can also be unlocked through the Battle Pass. In addition, there are mashups with existing Fortnite characters like the Wookie Cuddle Team Leader (who doesn't want to cuddle a Wookie?) and more. Players can purchase a Mace Windu skin through the Item Shop and also utilize new vehicles like the TIE Fighter and X-Wing.
