Fortnite is getting a Predator skin Whoever wins. News by Tom Phillips Deputy Editor Updated on 13 Jan 2021 6 comments Predator, star of some decent films and okay video games, is joining the Fortnite family. The toothy extra-terrestrial trophy hunter is the latest crossover, and looks set to become free for current battle pass holders over the past few weeks. Predator's battle pass tab. Today's 15.20 update brought the first Predator-themed challenges to the game, which unlock Predator cosmetic items in the game's "secret" battle pass character tab. You can now unlock a few of these, though the actual Predator skin itself will take a few more weeks to arrive. Predator's announcement received a mixed reaction from fans, who had guessed from the current map's inclusion of a Predator-esque area that the character would be on the way.

Bushranger, who thankfully gets to keep at least some leaves on him. Some bugs have been fixed, though others - such as the long-running issue with Sand Tunnelling - remain. Even with the new patch installed, Sand Tunnelling remains switched off. This week, Spanish Fortnite streamer TheGrefg nearly quadrupled Twitch's all-time concurrent viewership record when he showed off his own skin for the first time. The addition of TheGrefg's skin will come with a return of the popular Floor is Lava mode - expect that next week. And, even better, there's a new winter style for the lovely Bushranger skin.
