Given the $73M demand from Apple, players have started poking fun at Epic and suggesting that they should bring rare skins back. Renegade Raider and Paradigm are just some of the highly requested ones.
The legal battle between Epic Games and Apple can be traced all the way back to 2020, which resulted in Fortnite eventually getting removed from the App Store. After the recent court order, it has recently been made apparent that Apple has demanded Epic Games to pay $73M for legal fees.

Since it was first posted, the comments have been flooded by players who are keen on the idea. After all, it’s no secret that certain Fortnite skins don’t come back, especially if they’re part of an old Battle Pass or Crew Pack.
One of the top responses was, “Here at Epic, we are pleased to announce the return of old battle passes.” This was followed by another user replying, “I’d happily lend my kidney for this.”
On the other hand, others who joined in the comments begged Epic to bring back some notable skins that have yet to return to the shop, such as Spider-Man, Kratos, and Chun Li.
Renegade Raider is one of the OG skins from Fortnite which is highly sought-after in the black market.
Collab skins aside, original character skins such as Meowskulls and Paradigm seem to be highly requested by players as well. It’s likely because they play a part in Fortnite’s lore, similar to Midas and other well-known Fortnite characters.
Another user also mentioned adding a specific emote back would be a good idea. “They will make it back in 36 hours if they put the griddy in,” they said.
It’s unclear whether or not Epic will decide to bring these skins back, but seeing the rare Black Widow and Stranger Things skins treatment recently, looks like anything is possible.
