10 Best Gaming Legends Series Skins in Fortnite, Ranked

9 months 3 weeks ago

One of the best ways to convince new people to play Fortnite is by telling them all of the possibilities, such as having Kratos and Ryu on the same team. Or even Chris Redfield and Leon S. Kennedy fighting back-to-back against a zombified squad. What started as a small and colorful battle royale a few years ago is now a playground full of infinite characters and this unique place where you will see crossovers among the most unusual IPs. After rating the best Marvel and DC skins, it’s now time to rank the best Gaming Legends Series outfits in Fortnite. We’ll stick to one person per franchise since many of them have multiple great skins.

10. Sakura (Street Fighter)

Street Fighter is one of the community’s favorite collabs in Fortnite and with good reason. With 6 outfits in the game at the moment, the partnership between Capcom and Epic Games started with Ryu and Chun-Li back in 2021 and collects some of the best cosmetics in the whole Gaming Legends Series.

First introduced in Street Fighter Alpha 2, Sakura made her way into Fortnite during Chapter 3: Season 2 in a bundle along with Blanka. Her cheerful vibe was brought right to the battle royale with the classic student uniform and the gym outfit from Street Fighter IV. Buying Sakura separately also grants the player the reactive Hanakaze Clawback bling and Sakura’s Victory Sway emote.

9. Ezio Auditore (Assassin’s Creed)

If you’re looking for an elegant yet deadly outfit to go explore the island, Ezio Auditore’s is the one. One of the most iconic characters from Assassin’s Creed was released in the Item Shop during Chapter 3: Season 1 to promote the series’ latest game at the time, Valhalla.

From the hood to the boots, the outfit is incredibly detailed and faithful to the original seen in Assassin’s Creed II. Ezio also has a built-in emote that allows players to summon the infamous Hidden Blade, the signature weapon of the Assassin Brotherhood. If you’re not a fan of the hood in the version shown above, there’s also the option to remove it — giving this one a bonus point for being a little customizable.

8. Doom Slayer (DOOM)

One of the most anticipated collabs in Fortnite, Doom Slayer — or Doomguy if you like — landed on the island in Chapter 4: Season 1 and made it totally worth the wait. Based on the design from DOOM Eternal, the outfit was unlockable through the Battle Pass in that season.

Besides its size and the awesome textures, Doom Slayer’s highly detailed armor had a reactive feature when players aimed, perfectly imitating the most recent Bethesda games. Three other styles for it were available for players to grab after completing the Battle Pass, including an entirely black costume. The full set for Doom Slayer had some great cosmetics overall, such as the Crucible Blade pickaxe, the Cacodemon glider, and the Fall To Their Doom contrail.

7. Lara Croft (Tomb Raider)

Another Battle Pass skin, the protagonist of the Tomb Raider series was part of Chapter 2: Season 6 and a perfect match to that season’s adventurous theme. It may look too simple for some people, but the work behind Lara Croft’s skin pays a singular tribute to this beloved franchise with each style being inspired by a different era of Tomb Raider.

While the default skin is based on the most recent trilogy, the second one is based on the games from the 2000s and the third style is a treat for the fans of the first games — by being as polygonal as possible. Lara Croft’s full set included the two-style Survivor’s Pack back bling, the Pry Axe pickaxe, and the Salvaged Chute glider.
