33 Sandshark Driver
- Cost: 800 V-Bucks
- Rarity: Uncommon
- Release Date: August 2020
The Landshark Driver outfit was introduced to the Item Shop in the summer of 2020 and has returned multiple times over the years, with over 29 appearances in 2025. She is alone in the Tank Squadron set, but hopefully, this means more stylish tank drivers will be added.
In 2024, Sandshark Driver was given a makeover, increasing the details and getting a new lease on life. This could account for the uptick in popularity during that time, currently appearing in 5.6 million players’ inventories.
32 Chaos Agent
- Cost: 1,500 V-Bucks
- Rarity: Epic
- Release Date: October 2019
The Chaos Director, added to the inventories of 5.6 million players, is one of the few male outfits on this list, as most male skins are bulkier and less likely to be chosen by players looking for a slim frame.
He seems to be connected to the Shadow Agency, working with Midas until he apparently killed him (his mask ends up on Midas’s wall like some sort of trophy…), and falling out with Jules and the rest of the Shadow crew.
31 Nog Ops
- Cost: 800 V-Bucks
- Rarity: Uncommon
- Release Date: December 2017
Nog Ops is one of the original festive skins in Fortnite, and it is easy to see why she is one of the more popular skins. She returns with her less popular male counterpart, the Yuletide Ranger, every Winterfest.
She isn’t the most popular Fortnite Christmas-themed skin, but she has lasting potential, and 5.8 million players seem to agree.
30 ISO
- Cost: 1,500 V-Bucks
- Rarity: Epic
- Release Date: January 2021
ISO has a less-popular male version called Hedron; however, he doesn’t even hit the top 1500 most popular skins, which just shows the wild difference in popularity between male and female skins.
ISO, bought by 5.8 million players so far, has climbed in usage since its release, apart from a sharp dip during Chapter 5 Season 3, perhaps because the bright skin didn’t fit with the wasteland theme.
29 Crystal
- Cost: 800 V-Bucks
- Rarity: Uncommon
- Release Date: August 2019
Crystal could be popular for a number of reasons: she is cheap, she looks good, and she was used by top esports players, Bugha. This must have had an impact on the 5.9 million players who picked her.
Although she comes with an alternative pink and white style, her main blue and grey look is the most popular. She’s also had a few reskins, also available from the Item Shop, but none have become as sought-after as the original Crystal.
28 Lyric
- Cost: 1,500 V-Bucks
- Rarity: Epic
- Release Date: April 2022
Lyric is a part of the Coachella Set, giving effortless festival chic realness with her simple black sunhat and removable sunglasses. There’s also a reactive blue style, but that’s not as popular with players.
This skin returns every year during the Coachella season, and is regularly chosen by 6 million players as their favorite skin.
27 Dummy
- Cost: 1,200 V-Bucks
- Rarity: Rare
- Release Date: August 2020
Another one of the few male skins showing up in this popular skins list, Dummy is the first choice of over 6 million players.
He comes in two styles: a classic yellow crash test dummy style and a grey carbon fiber version. His yellow style may be the most popular version, but his Supreme and Wastelander reskins are pretty great too.
26 Desert Dawn Lyric
- Cost: 1,200 V-Bucks
- Rarity: Epic
- Release Date: April 2023
Desert Dawn Lyric is a light, summery reskin of the previous Coachella outfit, with a similar reactive glowing style.
6.3 million players have chosen this skin to add to their collection, and it has been in the top 30 most popular skins on and off throughout the seasons.
25 Sparkplug
- Cost: 1,200 V-Bucks
- Rarity: Rare
- Release Date: February 2019
Sparkplug is known among the competitive circles as a bit of a sweat skin, chosen by some players who don’t give up a fight and take out every player they come across.

She’s had a few remixes, with the Champion remix being the most popular, but her classic version in the black ink style seems to be the most popular with 6.6 million players since 2019.
24 Zadie
- Cost: 1,200 V-Bucks
- Rarity: Rare
- Release Date: February 2020
Zadie’s fierce metal mask outfit is a top choice for more than 6 million players in Fortnite, and she’s stayed in the top 30 skins pretty consistently since her release.
Her arctic and jungle styles give players a bit of variety when using her skin, plus she has a few amazing reskins, although those aren’t as popular as this original outfit.
