One of the more exciting leaks to come out of 14.60 revealed that pro player Benjyfishy and content creator NickEh30 would have their skin bundles. These packs come equipped with a character cosmetic, back bling, glider, wrap and harvesting tool. Many associate the Siren skin with Benjy and the Alpine Ace skin with NickEh30. Perhaps Fortnite will collaborate with even more players in the future. Here are some other skins that also leaked from this patch.
