Fortnite skins have taken on a life of their own since the game came out. Back in the early days, we couldn’t imagine spending money on a free game. Now, hundreds of dollars later, we’re still padding our lockers as collectors of in-game cosmetics.

Some skins tell a lot about the player wearing them. A Peely? They’re just trying to goof around and have some fun. A Dynamo? Sweat is probably pouring onto their keyboard at all times.

Today, we’re taking a look at the most hated skins in Fortnite – the skins that elicit an immediate reaction from opponents. You better be ready for some backlash if you post a clip while wearing one of these skins.

5. Female Soccer Skins

Female Soccer Skins have been hated ever since they first came out. This might have been the first “sweaty” skin to come to Fortnite, and it remains in the category to this day. However, it’s been made available in the Item Shop quite frequently so everyone from sweats to casuals owns it.

“Soccer skin” means more than just the skin that someone is wearing, at this point. It’s a term that longtime Fortnite players will likely remember for the rest of their gaming careers. However, because of its frequent item shop appearances, it’s last on the list.

4. Custom Superhero Skins

These skins have cause quite a stir with players and have disrupted the competitive scene on more than one occasion. The actual name of these skins is Boundless, and they are among the most customizable skins in the game. Many players bought them for their versatility at first, but they were quickly abused by competitive players.

Players could set their skins to have an all-black or all-white color scheme which would make them harder to see. These color combos were banned from the game, but players still found a way to make their skins harder to see. This lead to these sweaty skins being banned outright in all competitive play.

3. Anime Skins

This category of skins is pretty new since “anime” skins were introduced in Chapter 2 Season 5. A bundle of anime skins was also released during Season 6 which contains some of the sweatiest and most hated Fortnite Skins.

Chigusa, Megumi, and Yuki are part of the Cyber Infiltration bundle, and Lexa was given to players who reached a certain level of the Season 5 Battle Pass. For some reason, players hate these cell-shaded skins and would rather face off against Soccer Skins.

2. Surf Witch

When we asked Twitter which skins they hated the most, a large number of responses included Surf Witch. It seems this skin is hated because it’s used by “sweats” and also because of its lackluster design.

Surf Witch’s design isn’t much different from many of the other female skins. In fact, she has a very similar design to Haze, a preexisting skin. Many players think that Surf Witch is a cheap rip off of Haze, and their hate is derived from their similarities.

1. Dynamo

Dynamo is – by far – the most hated skin in Fortnite, at the moment. If you post a clip while wearing the Dynamo skin, you’re guaranteed to see the bulk of your replies consist of something along the lines of, “Dynamo, ew.”

We’re not exactly sure why Dynamo has its status as the most hated skin in Fortnite. Perhaps, it’s because Dynamo a very sweaty skin that isn’t difficult to get. Unlike Crystal and Aura, a lot of players think Dynamo is, simply, a bad skin on top of the fact that it’s incredibly sweaty.

Whatever the reason, wearing a Dynamo skin puts a target on your back. If you hit the island wearing Dynamo, then you better be as good as the skin suggests you are.

Does this list mean that you shouldn’t be wearing these skins in Fortnite? Absolutely not. In fact, a lot of players like playing the role of an antagonist in all sorts of games. It can be fun. Wear whatever you want – these are just some of the skins that are in the community’s crosshairs at the moment. We’re sure that it will change in the future. Wear what you want and have fun!

It’s time to look at how the Fortnite Season 5 weapon meta is shaping-up with an ultimate tier list.

Fortnite Season 5 introduced some unique weapons to the game through the new Exotic variant. Unlike Mythics, you may not see these in every game, making them rarer and – most of the time – more valuable.

Ahead, we’re going to rank all of the Chapter 2 Season 5 weapons into a tier list so you know what to pick up and what to leave on the ground where you found it. Here’s a sneak peek of the list before we get into our explanations.

S Tier

In the S Tier, we’re including most of the Exotic/Mythic weapons along with three classics: the Scar, RPG, and P90.

• The Dub: The most powerful shotgun in the game due to its ability to “double pump.” You can shoot it once and move to another shotgun, immediately.
• Boom Sniper Rifle: Gives you the ability to pepper opponents with Clingers from long-range
• Dragon’s Breath Sniper: A normal sniper with the ability to light structures on fire from max-distance. Easy S tier.
• Amban Sniper: The best sniper outside of Dragon’s Breath, but also includes a mobility/melee option.
• Shadow Tracker: Does as much damage as an AR, is arguably more accurate, and marks opponents.
• Scar: Do we really need to explain this one? It’s been the best AR in the game since launch.
• P90: A deadly weapon that can eliminate even the most skilled player with a well-timed spray.
• RPG: There’s only a couple of ways to get an RPG in Fortnite Season 5, making it one of the rarest items in the game. The rarity of this weapon pushes it from A to S, in our opinion.

A Tier

The A tier is comprised of the best shotguns, the SMG, and one of the only Exotics that didn’t make S.

• Storm Scout Sniper: It’s the same exact weapon as it was in Season X – a decent utility item but not amazing in the damage department. For us, it’s not good enough to buy but we’ll pick it up if someone else grabbed it.
• Epic/Legendary Shotguns: This one comes down to personal preference, but there’s a case to be made for carrying either the Tac or the Charge in their Epic/Legendary variants. Whichever you choose, they fall into A Tier.
• SMG: The standard SMG is just a step below the P90. As a controller player, we always carry one of these.

B Tier

The B Tier is probably going to get a bit controversial for fans of the Night Hawk and Heavy AR.

• Night Hawk: This is just a thermal Scoped Revolver. For us, it’s in the same category as the Storm Scout without the utility – a decent weapon but not worth the Gold Bars.
• Other Shotgun Variants: We’re taking a Green Charge over a Blue Tac every time, but plenty of other players would disagree. These are relatively balanced and based on your playstyle. In our opinion, they belong in the same tier.
• Normal AR: The classic. It’s not too flashy, but no one is too disappointed with an Uncommon or Rare AR.
• Epic/Legendary Heavy AR: Heavy AR fans might not like the B tier placement, but the Heavy AR’s bloom is too unreliable to place it any higher. Sure, it deals more damage than the normal AR, but most players will choose a Scar 10 times out of 10.
• Bolt-Action Sniper: The classic sniper – a good weapon that some people use in every match. It might not always be the best-in-slot and isn’t always necessary, but it’s good to have.

C Tier

The C tier is the smallest on this list, with only the Heavy AR and Epic/Legendary Pistol calling it home.

• Heavy AR: Again, the spread of the Heavy AR is too large. Like the Burst before it, we’re always picking a normal AR over the Heavy.
• Epic/Legendary Pistol: The Epic/Legendary Pistol is criminally underrated, but we can’t seem to find a home for it above C. At the end of the day, it’s not an AR. We just don’t feel comfortable without an AR and therefore can’t justify carrying a Pistol.

D Tier

The D tier is particularly stinky in Season 5, with the likes of the Dragon’s Breath Shotgun and Lever-Action Rifle rounding-out our tier list.

• Lever-Action Rifle: The worst Sniper in the game. It would be a great hit-scan weapon but as a projectile weapon, it doesn’t cut it.
• Tactical AR: The worst AR in the game dropped by the worst NPC enemies in Fortnite history
• Pistol: The perennial D-tier weapon. Need we say more?
• Dragon’s Breath Shotgun: The worst Shotgun in the game. Sure, you can set things on fire with it, but that doesn’t make up for the long reload time and one-shot clip.
• The Big Chill: Does 0 damage and puts ice on enemies’ feet. It’s a meme weapon and nothing more.

So, there you have it, out Fortnite Chapter 2 Season 5 weapon tier list. We may see some new weapons, buffs, and nerfs by the end of Season 5, but this is where things stand as of the holiday season.

We’re sure you disagree with a few placements on this list. Make your voice heard on Twitter @FortniteINTEL. Who knows, you may even change our minds.

Galactus is coming in hot to close Season 4. Here are our top 5 wishes for the new Season of Fortnite.

Fortnite Season 5 is only days away, and fans of the game are eagerly anticipating what the new season will bring. We can expect some map changes, returning items, new weapons, and a developing season – just like we got in Season 4.

Of course, we have a few things we’d like to see in Season 5. Here’s our wish list for the next season, including some fan-requested changes and some personal points of interest.

Revamped Arena

Long-time readers will recognize this point from previous seasons, and we’re going to continue to put this on our wish list until we get it. We want to see Epic Games revamp the Arena system in Season 5. Consequently, this was one of the main changes that streamer SypherPK mentioned during our interview last month.

The Arena system is inherently flawed. You can’t de-rank, which means players who make it to Champion League have no reason to take competitive Fortnite seriously – at least, outside of tournaments.

Anyone who has made it to Champ’s knows that the matches before entering the top division are always harder than they are in Champion League. This is backward and isn’t the same in any other competitive game.

It’s high time that Epic changed this system, added a leaderboard, and made other changes to encourage people to care about ranked Fortnite. We hope that this finally happens in Chapter 2 Season 5.

‘Disable Pre-Edits’ Setting

This seems to be a small change to the game, but it would be a massive update for long-time Fortnite players. Pre-editing is one of the most annoying parts of playing Fortnite at a high level, and changing this mechanic into a setting seems to be a simple fix.

We’re not game developers, but it’s hard to imagine that changing pre-edits into a setting that you could toggle on and off is more difficult than some of the other things Epic have done.

Finally, after years of requests, we may have some good news on this issue. A Fortnite developer commented on a Reddit thread, suggesting that a “Disable Pre-Edit” setting is still in the works. Again, we can only hope that it’s ready for Season 5 – even if it doesn’t come on the first day of the new season.

A Fortnite-Themed Battle Pass

The Fortnite promotions are awesome for players who like Marvel, Star Wars, Stranger Things, etc. Most of these have been one-off collaborations that included a couple of skins.

In Season 4, as most of you know, Epic went all-in and brought a Marvel-themed Battle Pass with no original Fortnite characters. We hope that the Season 4 Battle Pass will be significantly different from all others around it and that Epic go back to the Fortnite-based Battle Pass from all previous seasons.

We have reason to believe that this will be the case. There was a leaked Mandalorian skin and Baby Yoda back bling, but early indications are that this will be the “Secret” skin like Deadpool and Aquaman.

All-New Locations

If Season 4’s event is set to be the biggest in Fortnite history, then we should be able to expect the map to change more than ever before (outside of the shift from Chapter 1 to Chapter 2).

We don’t expect Epic to bring us to an all-new map, nor do we expect to return to the old one. However, what does seem likely is a fusion between the old and new maps with some new locations sprinkled on top.

It would be disappointing to come back to Fortnite on Wednesday morning and see a largely unchanged map. Galactus is poised to make his mark on the game, and we expect it to be significant.

A New Shotgun Meta

The Pump will always have a place in Fortnite, and we aren’t calling for Epic to remove it, once again. However, the shotgun meta has been relatively stale this season, with the Pump as the only viable option.

The Combat is OK at best, and most players only carry it until they find a Pump. Epic has already introduced several viable shotguns into the game, and we’d like to see them return in Chapter 2 Season 5.

For all of the hate the Charge Shotgun gets, we liked the Pump/Charge meta of early Season 5. It would be even better if Epic added the Heavy Shotgun to the game, along with the return of the pre-nerf Tac.

There are a lot of combinations, here; along with the always-possible addition of a new weapon. We only hope that the Season 5 Shotgun meta is fresh and balanced, with more than one viable option.

Fortnite is in a great spot right now. The wish list for Season 5 was a lot more difficult to make than it was for previous seasons. In essence, our wish list boils down to longtime quality-of-life requests and more of the same content Epic have been giving us.
