White Skull Trooper Fortnite Appears in Data Mine

White Skull Trooper Fortnite skin style has been uncovered in the game's files following the release of Update 11.01. The skin style is Epic Games' latest attempts to capitalize on the Skull Trooper skin's near-mythic status among members of the Fortnite community. Here's what we know about the skin so far.

White Skull Trooper Fortnite Appears in Data Mine

The original Skull Trooper first released in October 2017. Available only for a limited time, it became one of the most sought after skins in Fortnite. A year later, in November 2018, Skull Trooper returned to the item store with a glowing green variant. A second, purple variant was given exclusively to original release owners.

The white Skull Trooper skin style — which doesn't yet have an official name — is a fairly rote inversion of the original skin's color scheme. Where the original has white bones over a black suit, the new style has black bones over a white suit.

No information is yet available about release date or pricing. The original Skull Trooper price was set at 1,200 V-Bucks, with the second release bumping the price to 1,500 V-Bucks.

The Raptor skin has also had a skin style appear in the most recent rash of data mine discoveries.
