What Are The Top 10 Rarest Skins In Fortnite? (2025)

Fortnite has a huge roster of skins, with new ones being released almost every week. Collaborations and crossovers add even more content to explore. Some players have insane collections of outfits. Of course, some cosmetics are harder to find than others. Some are available under specific circumstances, while others haven't appeared in the store for years. Let's take a look at the rarest Fortnite skins in 2025.

1. Renegade Raider

The Renegade Raider skin was released in Season 1. It became available for 1,200 V-Bucks after players reached Level 20. Some would argue that Aerial Assault Trooper is rarer, as more people preferred that character model. However, we also have to consider the fact that Renegade Raider was available a few levels after the Aerial Assault Trooper, so they balance each other out in terms of rarity.

2. Aerial Assault Trooper

This skin was released in Season 1 and became available for 1,200 V-Bucks after players reached Level 15. As explained above, many argue that it is rarer than Renegade Rider, mainly because of its earlier release and the fact that fewer players reached Level 15 during Fortnite's early days.

3. Reflex Skin

The Reflex skin, a product of Fortnite's collaboration with NVIDIA, was first available in December 2018 as part of the GeForce Fortnite Bundle. To acquire it, players had to purchase a qualifying NVIDIA GeForce graphics card, which came with a code to unlock the skin. However, in a surprising twist, Reflex was accidentally released in the Item Shop in March 2019 for 1,200 V-Bucks. While the skin was quickly removed, Epic Games issued an apology by offering players the Stealth Reflex skin for free. Since its accidental release, the Reflex skin has only returned twice, making it an incredibly rare cosmetic.

4. Black Knight

The Black Knight skin holds a special place in Fortnite history, as it was the ultimate reward for players who completed the Battle Pass in Chapter 1, Season 2. To unlock it, players had to reach Level 70, which was no easy feat back when the game had a much smaller player base. While today’s Battle Passes have 100 levels, reaching Level 70 back in 2017 required considerable effort. The limited availability of the Black Knight skin means it remains one of the most iconic and rare skins in Fortnite.

5. Honor Guard

The Honor Guard skin is one of the rarest cosmetics in Fortnite, mainly because it was tied to the purchase of the Honor View 20 smartphone. This outfit became available only for those who bought the phone, making it one

of the most expensive skins to obtain. Due to the relatively low popularity of the Honor View 20 compared to brands like Samsung and Apple, the Honor Guard skin is extremely rare and rarely seen in-game.

6. Galaxy Skin

The Galaxy skin is a true collector’s item in Fortnite. Initially introduced when Fortnite launched on mobile, the skin was exclusively available to players who purchased a Samsung Galaxy Note 9 or a Galaxy Tab S4. This collaboration between Epic Games and Samsung produced one of the most sought-after skins in Fortnite history. The skin was available only for a limited time and was later replaced by the Glow skin in 2019. As of now, it’s impossible to obtain the Galaxy skin, making it one of the rarest cosmetics in the game.

7. Double Helix

Another Fortnite skin tied to a limited purchase, the Double Helix skin was part of a special bundle with the Nintendo Switch. Released as part of a Fortnite x Nintendo promotion, the bundle came with the console, a matching DLC code, and 1,000 V-Bucks. Given the high cost of purchasing the Nintendo Switch, combined with the fact that the bundle is no longer available for sale, the Double Helix skin is incredibly rare.

8. Royale Bomber

First released as part of a PlayStation 4 x Fortnite bundle in 2018, the Royale Bomber skin is a rare find. The skin was also later offered with a PlayStation DualShock 4 controller bundle, further limiting its availability. While it’s still possible to find it on third-party marketplaces, the high resale prices and the relatively basic design of the skin mean it’s not as sought after as other rarer cosmetics, but it remains a collector’s item for dedicated Fortnite fans.

9. Rue

The Rue skin, part of the Lil' Red Set, made its debut in Chapter 2, Season 2, and was priced at 1,200 V-Bucks. While it was a fairly affordable skin, its rarity comes from the fact that it has been banned. There’s no way to get your hands on it now! The skin was involved in a huge controversy due to its aesthetics, which some felt were reminiscent of World War II's dark history, with the character even emoting in a similar way to a Nazi salute. As a result, the Rue skin has been permanently removed from the game, making it one of the rarest and most controversial skins in Fortnite.

10. The Reaper

This John Wick-inspired outfit was available to players who reached Level 100 in the Season 3 Chapter 1 Battle Pass. It's part of the Hired Gun set and is considered a ‘Legendary’ skin. Given that it was unlocked at such a high level and is based on a popular movie character, the Reaper skin has become one of the most nostalgic and rare skins in Fortnite.

Conclusion

Fortnite’s huge collection of cosmetics offers a wide variety of choices for players. Some of them are rarer than others. For collectors and dedicated fans, getting one of these rare outfits is a badge of honor, and owning them is a mark of dedication. Fortnite keeps rolling out outfits - who knows, you might get one that becomes rare in the future.
