Fortnite: Skins that make you lose games, a specialty of Epic Games?

It seems that Epic Games loves to differentiate from other publishers. While most online games have to defend themselves from the accusations of Skins of pay to win (that is, they increase the chances of winning for their users), Fortnite does the opposite and achieve sell skins that is Complicated to see how they could favor your master victory.

By cultivating a little more every year its lively and fun side, Fortnite produces skins in bright colors, or with templates and accessories that come out of the hitbox of the characters. The problem is that Fortnite is still a shooter in third competitive person, and that use certain skins is equivalent to using a giant target in which you could read shoot me .

The myth of Hitbox change

Let s start by deactivating a small urban legend: No, your Hitboxes do not change depending on the skins you choose. Use the brutus skin does not make you easier to hit than with dark ruby ​​skin. Epic Games Rinse this topic for a long time, and several Internet users have verified it: The Hitbox of the Avatar of Fortnite is strictly the same for all.

This is even the reason why some players, who use fine skins, are deceived because their character s hitbox can, in certain situations, be larger than the very narrow image of the skins.

So, Epic Games does it well? Not quite, because a large skin is easier to detect. This dear Brutus, with the colossal complexion of it, sometimes has problems hiding behind a tree or any other element of the landscape.

And in competitive?

Professional players move away from large skins in high-risk matches. Competitive threesomes Most of the time they prefer to use the same skin, often feminine because their silhouette is thinner, and stand out less. You will never see in the FNCS final a trio of giant Skins.

In the same way, professionals prefer discrete back accessories (when they risk having them). No more floating and colorful layers, or XXL bags. The silhouette must remain cleared.

Fashion or win, you have to choose

Some competitors even avoid using skins with colors too chillions or with animated patterns. The colors that are too bright are striking and can become an easy target against a green, orange or brown background, as will be 99% of Fortnite situations.

Strategically speaking, it is better to wear a solid color skin, not to stand out too much with the colors of the game. To demonstrate this tactical criterion, we may even unearth the controversial of the Skinsde Superhero, in September 2020. At the time it set out because the matt black variant of the hero s Skin No Limit is invisible in the shadows.

Ultimately, Skins can influence your chances of winning, but keep in mind that this is a small factor in the flow of a normal heading. Your ability has an infinitely greater impact than your attire in a duel or skirmish. Of course, professionals will pay attention to this type of detail, because they must maximize their chances of winning using all available media. But even they like to dress with non-optimal skins in the podes of the tournaments.
