Epic Games are constantly adding new skins to the game, whether that’s original designs or crossovers with massive franchises like Star Wars. And while there are plenty of skins that regularly make returns to the Item Shop, there are plenty of others that have made few, if any appearances since their release, making them incredibly rare in the game today.

As such, there’s a fairly high number of skins that have been vaulted for more than three years. We’re here to take you through a list of the 20 rarest skins in the game, with a special focus on the top five. With that, let’s get into it.

These are the five rarest Fortnite skins in 2024

5) Shaman

Shaman is an Epic outfit that was first added to Fortnite in Chapter 1 – Season 8. While there doesn’t seem to be anything special about this cosmetic item, it has become one of the rarest Fortnite skins of all time.

The skin has been in the Item Shop only four times and was last seen on December 2, 2019. To put this into perspective, Shaman was last available during the first season of Chapter 2. No one but Epic knows when the skin will return to the shop, but many players are hoping it comes back soon.

4) Tracker

Tracker is an Uncommon Fortnite skin that only costs 800 V-Bucks. It’s very similar to a default outfit, yet it’s also very rare. Interestingly, this is also one of the oldest Fortnite skins, as it was released in the first season of the popular video game.

The rare Fortnite skin was released on November 1, 2017. However, it was last seen on November 20, 2019. Tracker has appeared in the Item Shop only nine times in more than six years, which makes it one of the rarest Fortnite skins of all time.

3) The Paradigm

The Paradigm is one of the members of The Seven. She is the third member of the organization to come to Fortnite, and also one of the rarest skins. The Paradigm is one of the three skins that were last available in Chapter 1.

Epic Games released a new version of the character in Chapter 3, yet many players would love to have the original skin. Unfortunately, it was last seen on October 13, 2019, shortly before the destruction of the Chapter 1 map. Furthermore, The Paradigm has appeared in the shop only three times.

2) World Warrior

World Warrior is another Uncommon skin. It uses the Ramirez model, which is one of the most popular Fortnite characters, and was released by Epic Games in conjunction with the Fortnite World Cup in 2019. With it being an event skin and so many players having joined since then, it’s no surprise that it’s become one of the rarest Fortnite skins.

The skin was available for three days from July 26 to July 28, 2019. It’s a great-looking skin, yet it only costs 800 V-Bucks. While there have been no leaks regarding the return of World Warrior, Epic may be saving it for another big tournament.

1) Reflex

Epic Games originally intended for the Reflex outfit to be exclusive. However, the developer ended up releasing the skin to the Item Shop, causing a lot of backlash. Before its release, players were able to obtain the skin by purchasing one of a few Nvidia GeForce graphic cards.

The game developer likely released the skin to the Item Shop by accident. To make up for it, Epic released an exclusive version of it for the owners of the graphics card. In addition, Reflex was removed from the shop and hasn’t been out since March 4, 2019.

Reflex will likely stay on the top of the list of the rarest Fortnite skins for a long time, as it’s unclear if Epic Games will ever bring him back.
