When the Fortnite Season 6 trailer launched, many believed it hinted at the possible return of Skull Trooper. Moreover, it seemed likely that this rare and beloved skin would release around the time of Halloween. While this remains a possibility, it seems like Epic also has something else in mind: a female Skull Ranger.

Although there is no concrete image yet, the Skull Ranger is included in some code for Fortnite alongside other Halloween-inspired skins. It wouldn't be a stretch of the imagination if the skin looked very similar to the Skull Trooper but with a feminine body. Of course, this should be taken with a grain of salt, as according to the leaker, the coding itself isn't in the game yet. Check it out below:

Nevertheless, the coding is quite extensive and ranges from skins to pickaxes and more. The leaked information follows:

Building off the potential of a Skull Trooper return, these files indicate a pickaxe and glider associated with the fan-favorite skin. However, it also could potentially mean that the Skull Ranger would be using these cosmetic items. Regardless, until something official happens, we simply don't know. Considering the popularity of the game and the Skull-themed skin, it would be surprising if neither of the aforementioned skins appeared.

In the meantime, Fortnite players excited for October should also check out this list of vaulted weapons and items for the month As many weapon cycles and seasons this popular battle royale game has been through, there's like something there for everyone to miss. Tell us, Ranters, what do you think about the idea of the Skull Ranger?
