Fortnite player shocks everyone by creating their own “Deadpool at home” skin
Reddit/Epic GamesA Fortnite player has created their own Deadpool “at-home” skin that left the community baffled. Here’s how they did that.
Among the most unique features of Fortnite when compared to other Battle Royale games is its extensive cosmetics collection. With over 1,700 skins in the game’s inventory, Epic Games’ Fortnite has partnered with recognizable names in entertainment, gaming, and even music to host spectacular in-game events featuring Fortnite characters.
As a result of their widespread appeal in media like comics, video games, and movies, Marvel superhero skins reached an all-time high. Players have been able to grow their locker collections in Fortnite over the previous few seasons by acquiring Battle Royale skins featuring heroes like Spider-Man, Iron Man, and Thor.
Epic Games/MarvelStill, few are aware that the Deadpool skin from Chapter 2 Season 2 was the first of its kind to use Marvel heroes in a seasonal Battle Pass. Even though only half of the current player base was around then, individuals who didn’t get the skin have been calling for Epic to release it back into the game.
One such player took the matter into their own hands and created a makeshift version of the character in Fortnite using a customizable skin.
Fortnite player creates a makeshift Deadpool skin in-game
A Reddit user named Picklebutt2300 shared an image of their makeshift version of Deadpool skin in Fortnite, created using one of the customizable superhero skins in the game. With it, they also attached the actual Deadpool Fortnite skin and wrote, “Do you guys think people will notice?” to further confuse players.
While the detail was arguably on par with the original skin, several players expressed bewilderment. One such player said, “This ain’t Deadpool this is NonlivingAquarium.” Another chimed in, “Nah, it’s the guy from Marvel.”
A third user commented, “‘Mom can we have Deadpool?’ ‘We have Deadpool at home.’ Deadpool at home be like.” A fourth replied, “If you constantly sprint you’ll be too fast for them to notice.”
However, a fifth user admired the efforts and said, “To be honest, it doesn’t matter whether other people will notice, it’s hella cool anyway that you used the superhero skins the way they were intended. As long as you like it, that’s the most important thing about it.”
While the conversation around previous Battle Pass skins re-releasing into the Fortnite Item Shop continues, players are even bashing the shop itself for bringing too many LEGO skins rather than the ones they want.
