Several months ago, the Fortnite Raiden skin debuted in the game. It was part of the ever-growing Gaming Legends series, joining Master Chief, Solid Snake, Chun-Li, Lara Croft, Kratos, and so many others. It quickly became one of the most popular skins, but as all skins do, it eventually became unavailable. Here’s how you can get it and what you need to know about the skin.

How to Get the Fortnite Raiden skin?
To get Fortnite Raiden, you need only head to the Item Shop right now. The gaming icon has landed back in the Item Shop during the rotation. It’s not likely to go away immediately in the next rotation, but you don’t want to miss it. It had been 169 days since it was last seen, and there’s no telling when it will be back once it leaves this time.
It debuted in Chapter 5 Season 1 and has had 15 different Item Shop appearances including its current one. If you head to the Item Shop, you’ll need at least 1,800 V-Bucks to purchase Raiden. The skin comes with a pickaxe and weapon wrap, but those are the only cosmetics it has available. It is sheathed like a back bling as well when it’s not in use.
The skin was part of the Sneaking Set, which includes the skin and pickaxe as well as Solid Snake and all of his related cosmetics. These include the Stun Knife pickaxe, Slider glider, two loading screens, the ! emote and emoticon, and a couple of weapon wraps. Those items, however, were tied to the Chapter 5 Season 1 battle pass.
They remain exclusive since they debuted in a pass before Fortnite decided that battle passes would no longer be exclusive moving forward. That wasn’t added to retroactive battle passes, so the Snake cosmetics are unavailable. It was the “secret skin” like Chapter 6 Season 1’s secret skin is Godzilla. Raiden, however, is available now for those who want to get some Sneaking Set items.
