Fortnite Battle Royale has quickly taken over the gaming world due in part to its plethora of incredible skins, but this new Fortnite skin creator is letting fans design and play with their very own creations. Developed by Reddit user Maux01, the tool allows fans to create custom skins tat can be shared online and can also be imported and used in the actual game. The creator is currently only available on a computer but a mobile version is in the works and bug reports can be sent for further development.
The Fortnite skin creator is incredibly simple to use and currently uses assets pulled directly from the game. Users simply need to pick between a male or female model and the creator will then pull up all the skin options available for each model.
