Currently, Fortnite has more than 1700+ skins in the game. But do you know the first 5 skins that were introduced in Fortnite? These aren’t just any skins. They’re the OGs that started it all. The first five skins released in the game hold a special place in its history, symbolizing the early days of Fortnite. All these skins were dropped on the same date with slightly different periods.
