What skins inspire the most fear in Fortnite? Let’s take a look at the sweatiest Fortnite skins for 2020.

Terms like “sweaty” and “bot” have become mainstream gamer lingo since Fortnite grew to prominence. They’re words that every gamer explicitly understands without needing a definition.

“Sweaty skins” in Fortnite have been a trend since it first came out. In the early days, all skins were sweaty. They showed that you cared enough to spend money on a free game.

Now, with hundreds if not thousands of skins in Fortnite, the “sweaty skin” tag has narrowed, a bit. It also changes with the times. The sweatiest skins in Season 5 are not the sweatiest skins of today.

Let’s take a look at the sweatiest skins in Fortnite as of April 2020. This list will likely change, but a few of these will always maintain their stature.

OG Skins

We’ll start with the OG skins since these will always be sweaty. Of course, we’re talking about the OG Skull and Ghoul Trooper, Renegade Raider, Season 2 skins, etc.

The players who use these skins have been playing Fortnite since the early days – many of them non-stop. They want to show off, and their skins are the first manifestation of that.

Soccer Skins

The Soccer skin market has ebbed and flowed with the availability of the outfit. It used to be the sweatiest skin in Fortnite, hands-down, but constant releases diluted the space for a while.

Now, the Soccer skin is securely back in its place as one of the sweatiest skins in Fortnite. It’s been in the mix for a while, but it doesn’t look like the “sweaty Soccer skin” tag will ever leave.

Sparkplug

Sparkplug, like a lot of skins on this list, is the skin of a Creative Warrior. It’s not as common as some of the others on the list, but it’s sweaty, nonetheless.

In my experience, a Sparkplug skin is often the real deal. You have a lot of pretenders wearing Soccer skins and Crystal, but Sparkplug skins are killers; more often than not.

Wonder

Wonder is only a sweaty skin because of the number of hoops you would have had to jump through to get it. It was an exclusive skin to those who purchased the Honor 20 phone, but most players bought it from third-party sellers.

This skin was pricey when it hit the open market, and some fans were paying upwards of $50 or $60 to get it. Others got scammed and never saw their money or the skin, again.

Most of the time, the Wonder skin means that a player truly cares about Fortnite, and would go out of their way to secure an exclusive skin.

Bullseye

Bullseye has been one of the sweatier skins since it was first released. The recent re-release and additional variant did little to dilute the pool of players with the skin who are trying their hardest.

In fact, Bullseye is one of the hated-on-sight skins in Fortnite, much like the Soccer skins have become.

Cozy Command skins

Cozy Commander was introduced this past winter, but it’s already rising the ranks as one of the sweatiest skin sets in the game.

Most of the dressed-down skins in Fortnite get the “sweaty” tag, but these are one of the more frequent sights in high-level Fortnite play. If an opponent is wearing one of these, they’ve probably spent hundreds of dollars on V-Bucks only to main an $8 skin.

Banner Brigade skins

Banner Brigade may have overtaken the Soccer skins in terms of the sweatiest set in Fortnite. They offer substantial value for their price – only 800 V-Bucks with the ability to customize the style – but seem to be dominated by those at the top level.

As is the case with all of the skin sets: it’s the female variant that gets most of the clout. Male skins that aren’t OG don’t get much shine.

Dark Bomber

The skin made popular by FaZe Sway has a legion of fans that exclusively wear the Dark Bomber. OG Fortnite players remember when the Brite Bomber was the scariest skin to face. Now, the Dark Bomber has usurped it.

It’s easy to understand why this skin has become such a staple of the try-hard. It calls back to the Brite Bomber days with a twist – being a bit rarer than its Brite cousin.

Aura

Aura was one of those skins that you knew would be ‘sweaty,’ and it didn’t disappoint. For some reason, Aura became the primary skin of several pro Fortnite players and sweats across the world.

Why is this skin so sweaty? It’s hard to tell. All we know is that an Aura either means business or thinks that they’re better than they are.

Crystal

Crystal has, somehow, beat the odds to become the biggest try-hard skin in all of Fortnite. This might be because a ton of pros wear the skin. It’s the primary skin for World Cup Solo winner Bugha, as well.

Out of all of the skins in Fortnite, this one has to be the loudest proclamation that a player is trying. You must have at least 150 hours in Creative mode to wear this skin in-game.

So, there you have it: the top-ten sweatiest skins in Fortnite. Sure, we could have included a few more like the numerous no-skin variants, the Elite Agent, etc. but this list will have to do. Let us know which skins we missed in the comments and on Twitter.
