As of writing, there are 14 different Peely skins available in the game. Reactions to the “robber pickle” have been mixed. Some players are complaining about Peely fatigue, as Epic Games regularly creates variants of the popular character. However, many fans seem happy to see the mascot return, stating that the concept is a creative spin on an old favorite.
