You could unlock the Slayer Juice WRLD skin in Fortnite for free by logging in to the game before November 30. And from the looks of it, a ton of players in the community have been able to unlock the rapper without much effort.
The result? Any Fortnite lobby you enter will likely be filled with players donning the Slayer Juice WRLD skin. So much so that fans of the rapper have also complained about seeing him way too often in lobbies.
The usage of free skins in Fortnite is interesting, to say the least. Many F2P players use skins like Slayer Juice WRLD because their locker doesn’t contain enough worthy alternatives.
On the flip side, there’s always a huge bunch of sweaty players/veterans who own tons of other skins but go into matches wearing free cosmetics like Slayer Juice WRLD. This lets them surprise their opponents who usually assume that anyone wearing a free skin is a newbie.
A Reddit post on r/FortniteBR perfectly captures the range of emotions players have towards the Slayer Juice WRLD outfit.
Fans of the rapper are conflicted too. As much as they like his music, they can’t stand seeing him in the lobby because they’ve been eliminated by someone wearing the skin countless times.
Some players also complained about the confusion that arises due to almost everyone wearing the same skin. It becomes hard to track opponents and separate them from teammates.
It is worth noting that cheaters also prefer using free skins in multiplayer games, and Fortnite is no exception. By only playing with free cosmetics, they remove the risk of any financial losses in case they’re banned for hacking.
At this point, veterans are also looking back at the time Chrome Punk was released for free in Fortnite during Chapter 3 Season 4. Like Juice WRLD, this outfit was used heavily, dividing the community.
It is safe to assume that the Juice WRLD will continue to dominate the lobbies for the coming weeks because his concert will finalize the end of Chapter 2 Remix. So, there’s not much that can be done if you don’t like facing it in-game.
