Boss Obsidian Fortnite Skin
The Boss Obsidian Skin is a new and exciting outfit available in the Item Shop. It boasts a brand-new model, making it a truly unique addition to the world of Fortnite skins. As an Epic original skin, it also comes at a more affordable V-Buck price.
You can purchase the Boss Obsidian skin on its own for 800 V-Bucks or opt for the bundle with additional cosmetics for 1,400 V-Bucks. While not the cheapest option, it still falls below the price range of popular collaboration skins like Deadpool and Wolverine.
One aspect that has puzzled players upon its release is the gender of the Boss Obsidian Fortnite skin. The character model is male and is typically referred to as such, yet some international versions of Fortnite use feminine pronouns. Whether this is intentional or a translation error remains unclear, though the latter seems more likely.
Although the Boss Obsidian skin features a fresh in-game model, it appears to be a revamped version of the Gildhart skin, originally released as part of a Fortnite Crew Pack. However, this iteration takes on a more knightly appearance.
To add this unique skin to your collection, simply visit the Item Shop for purchase. Unlike some collab skins that require completing quests, the Boss Obsidian skin is exclusively available for purchase. While collaborations are entertaining, the introduction of original skins like this one adds diversity to the ever-expanding item shop.
