- [Announcer] Halloween was the very first seasonal event
for Fortnite Battle Royale
breeding spooky skins and a themed rocket launcher
for everyone to play with for a limited amount of time.
The next Halloween is only two months away,
and with it fast approaching,
we decided to take a look at
the top five Fortnite skins that we need
in Fortnite Battle Royale.
So get ready for a scare,
because some of these skins are pretty spooky.
(ghostly voice) Rumor has it,
if you like this video and subscribe to ArcadeCloud,
Epic Games will give you a free Ghoul Trooper skin!
So don't forget to like and subscribe.
- [Announcer] But not a Skull Trooper,
just a Ghoul Trooper.
You don't get two.
You just get one.
- [Deep Voiceover] Number five.
Male Ghoul Trooper!
- [Announcer] You might not have known this,
but when the Ghoul Trooper
and Skull Trooper skins were released,
it was actually still during season one of the game.
Before season one of the Battle Pass started up,
there were no skins available for purchase.
Everyone had to run around with default skins.
So, everyone was pretty excited
when Halloween came around,
and it was announced that there would be
some exclusive Halloween skins released into the store.
That, combined with the fact
that they have never been released again since,
is why the Skull Trooper and Ghoul Trooper skins
are so sought after.
Everyone wants the skins to be re-released
at some point in the future.
And logically, it makes sense
for Epic Games to re-release the skins around Halloween.
But personally, I don't think that's really a good idea.
For a start,
it would make the Skull and Ghoul Trooper skins
a lot less valuable.
Just look at what happened to the Red Knight skin.
You used to have to fear people with that skin.
But now, they've probably just bought it
when the skin was back on sale.
It would also be pretty lazy for Epic just to
re-release old skins without offering fans anything new.
Instead, the Reddit user, Fortnite Wave,
has done the unthinkable
and completely redesigned the Ghoul Trooper skin.
Currently the Ghoul Trooper skin
is a female skin,
with the Skull Trooper being male.
In this skin,
Fortnite Wave has transferred the class Ghoul Trooper skin,
but changed the gender from female to male.
These days, Fortnite is well-known for making skins
that fit both genders.
That way people can play as their favorite style skin,
no matter if they identify as a girl or a guy.
So it'd be pretty sweet if Epic Games did the same thing
with the Ghoul and Skull Trooper skins this Halloween.
You know, flip-flop them.
Do the thing.

The Gray!
- [Announcer] Back in season three,
the whole theme of the game was space.
We had an asteroid ready to slam down into the earth,
we had a bunch of skins
that were based around space explorers,
and we even had a skin that was inspired by
the space superhero, Star Lord,
with the Rust Lord skin.
But it wasn't until right at the end of the season
that we finally got an alien-style skin
in the form of a Leviathan.
But to be honest,
as creative as the Leviathan skin is,
it really doesn't scratch the itch I have
for a proper alien skin.
See when I think of aliens,
I think of people like the Men in Black,
and little gray men crashing to the earth at Roswell.
I don't usually think of fish floating around
inside of a helmet filled with water
on top of a space suit.
The classic gray alien
is something that I would love to see
in Fortnite Battle Royale,
and Halloween would be a great time to add
that style of skin in to the game.
The Reddit user, Zaptron,
created a gray skin concept that is
pretty much exactly what I would want
from an alien skin in Fortnite.
That classic gray head with those beady black eyes,
no nose or ears,
and a thin slit for a mouth.
Oh, and we can't forget that Men in Black suit.
It just screams what I consider to be an alien.
And I would spend as many V-Bucks as Epic wanted
if they wanted to release a skin like this for Halloween.
- [Deep Voiceover] Number three.
The Witch!
- [Announcer] I think the coolest thing
about Fortnite Battle Royale,
is the fact that it doesn't let itself get tied down
to any particular aesthetic or theme
when it comes to making skins.
Sure, everything looks slightly cartoon-y
and over exaggerated, but that doesn't mean
that all the skins look the same.
We have skins from the far flung past,
the distant future, and other worlds entirely.
I mean look at the new super rare skin
that has just been released for Galaxy S9 owners.
Your character is literally a galaxy if you equip that.
What I'm getting at here is yes,
we can totally have a bunch of
sci-fi style skins for the game,
but we can also have some fantasy too.
This is the Witch skin designed by the Reddit user, Wilmenx.
This skin is highly reminiscent of season two's
Medieval-themed Knight skins,
and even share in a sort of
chainmail-ish body armor on her arms.
Other than that though,
the character looks pretty spooky
with a classic witch's hat on her head
to really pull off the aesthetic.
Not only has Wilmenx come up with the Witch skin,
they have designed a Back Bling
and a Pick Axe to go with her
which is smart.
First of all, we have the Broomstick Harvesting Tool,
which is exactly what you would expect it to be;
a broomstick for the witch to gather her resources with.
(laughs)
For the Back Bling, you have the Cauldron,
which again is exactly what you would expect it to be.
A big pot with a dark bubbling liquid on the insides.
Again, that means it's cool.
It works.
Personally, I would prefer to see the witch's broom
as more of a glider,
but I guess using it as a Harvesting Tool
could work as well,
because I mean you'd still need it to be a glider,
so you would have to ride the broom.
And I mean, that wouldn't make sense.

Pumpkin Head!
- [Announcer] The story of the Headless Horseman
is one that has terrified kids at Halloween for years.
The legend has been around in Europe
since at least the Middle Ages.
It depicts a man who rides on a horse
and is missing his head.
In lore, he has either carried his head with him,
or missing it altogether and searching for it.
In the Legend of Sleepy Hollow,
a horror story by Washington Irving
that was published in 1820,
the legendary Headless Horseman
appears with a significant twist.
He has a pumpkin for a head!
It's this image of the Headless Horseman
that most people have latched on to.
You know, Disney did a whole thing about it.
I think that Johnny Depp movie did, too?
I don't know.
Including the Reddit user, ForniteWave.
Oh, they're back!
This skin takes the idea pioneered by Washington Irving
and brings it to life in the Fortnite style.
And to be honest, it's still looks pretty spooky.
This character is wearing ragged clothing,
and it's big bulbous pumpkin head has orange glowing eyes
and a jagged mouth carved into its surface.
Sure it doesn't have a horse to ride around on,
but if I saw this thing running at me
through the Wailing Woods,
(laughs nervously) I'd be pretty freaked out.
- [Deep Voiceover] Honorable Mention!
The Mummy!
- [Announcer] For today's honorable mention,
we're taking a look into the far flung past of Egypt
with this incredibly spooky Mummy skin.
Created by FantasyFull on Reddit,
the mummy is exactly what you would expect
from a skin based on dead people
wrapped up in old bandages.
It's basically a dead guy wrapped up in old bandages.
This guy looks really grimy and dirty
with some of his bandages coming up
a slightly darker color with what I can assume is blood,
or something else?
Probably dirt.
The character also has a single spooky glowing eye
appearing out from between the rags on his face
which really adds some personality
and a feeling of evil from the character.
Alongside the skin, FantasyFull has also created
a boney Harvesting Tool.
This Pick Axe is basically a skull with glowing eyes
tied to a bone by its spine.
It's really gross, really creepy,
but perfect for a Halloween skin.
- [Deep Voiceover] Number one.
The Death!
- [Announcer] Is creating a skin based on
literally the Grim Reaper
something that would be too much for Fortnite?
Maybe, but I mean we had Thanos for crying out loud.
I mean, a guy dressed up in a T-Rex outfit,
and Rust Lords,
and space men,
and a bunny,
and the bear thing that's really creepy.
Ehh, it's still a pretty cool idea to think about any way.
This skin concept is by the Reddit user, Lazy Vladnos.
This Reddit user has basically used the Raven skin as a base
and changed the skin colors from purple to red.
As well as that, they have wrapped a beefy chain
around the character's waist,
and pinned a blood red rose to his front.
The biggest change of course is the character's face,
which has been changed from a pair of glowing purple eyes
to a skull in shadow.
Not content with just creating a seriously spooky skin,
Lazy Vladnos also created a Book of the Dead Back Bling.
This thing looks really insane
with a bunch of corrupted black tendrils tying up the book,
with redness floating away
from the bloody surface of the cover.
(sighs)
It really looks like something
the Grim Reaper would carry around
to figure out who he needed to kill.
Obviously, the Grim Reaper harvests peoples' souls
when they die, and to do that
he needs a badass Harvest Tool.
This Pick Axe is called the Grim End,
and honestly, it's pretty similar to
the reaper scythe we already have in the game.
The only real difference is the human skull
on the back side of the blade,
which is equal parts creepy and badass.
Grim End is a really cool name though.
With Halloween just around the corner,
it would be pretty cool to see any of these skins added
to Fortnite Battle Royale.
I mean seriously,
how cool would it be to score a Victory Royale
as the Pumpkin Head,
or literally the Grim Reaper himself?
Have you seen any cool spooky skins
that you think Fortnite should add
to this year's Halloween event?
