Leak Time! All the Skins, Gliders, and Pickaxes Found in the Game Files So Far

A new patch means a new list of leaked skins, gliders, and pickaxes. Check out what's to come in the item shop.

As you probably know, Epic has been clamping-down on leaks with their patches. The small updates - such as the one we saw last week - don't often come with as many cosmetic leaks as they used to.

We're routinely surprised by items in the shop, and Epic is clearly trying to keep us on our toes. Still, with the larger updates like 7.20, some cosmetics are bound to fall through the cracks.

When the new items do fall through the cracks, you know that @Lucas7Yoshi will be there to let us know about it.

Skins

We'll start with what you all want to see: the skins. I'm going to break this down in a rank-style with my favorite first and least favorite last.

Malcore

Even though I prefer the female skins (I like to look like a sweat out there), this is my favorite skin of the bunch. This is one of the more evil-looking skins we've seen in Fortnite, and I might have to grab this one when it comes out.

Rarity: Epic Back Bling: Malcore Wings

Fyra

enter image description here

Fyra is my second favorite. With this and the Jaeger skin, it looks like Fortnite is continuing with the Viking trend with a bit of a futuristic twist.

Rarity: Epic Back Bling: Runic Shield or Emblazoned Buckler

Cobalt

enter image description here

I don't know what it is about this skin, but I like it. If I had to guess, this would be the skin you get for completing the weekly challenges faithfully. The rarety throws this into question - these are usually Legendary - but if it is, it will be the best one of its kind so far. I'm thinking you might even be able to change the color of his face.

Rarity: Epic Back Bling: Reinforced Backplate

Ice Queen

enter image description here

It looks like we have another ice overlord on our hands. This is obviously the female companion to the tier 100 Ice King skin. I like it, but probably not enough to buy it from the store.

Rarity: Legendary Back Bling: Ice Spikes

Jaeger

enter image description here

Jaeger looks like a superpowered Viking - just what Fortnite needs. We'll see this at the same time as Fyra, and I'd take her over him.

Rarity: Epic Back Bling: Runic Shield or Emblazoned Buckler

Verge

enter image description here

The Verge is the only uncommon skin of the bunch, but nothing really stands out with it. This is one of those fringe skins, but it will be cheaper than all of the others and might be worth a look.

Rarety: Uncommon Back Bling: None

Tech Ops

enter image description here

The Tech Ops is one of my least favorite additions to the item shop. There's nothing special about this one at all. This seems like it would be included in a bundle pack or something - not worth it for me.

Rarity: Rare Back Bling: Capacitor

Cabbie

enter image description here

Now, to my least favorite leaked skin. I hate this one. It's a male version of the Whiplash skin and already looks like a pure bot. This guy inspires no fear.

Rarity: Uncommon Back Bling: None

Back Bling

We've already matched the back bling in this patch with the accompanying skins, so here's a look at what you can expect.

Malcore Wings: "Spread your wicked wings."

Emblazoned Buckler: "To the victor go the spoils."

Runic Shield: "Claimed in battle."

Commercial Photography

Capacitor: "Fully charged."

Commercial Photography

Ice Spikes: "Clad yourself in jagged ice."

Commercial Photography

Reinforced Backplate: "Strong and Secured."

Commercial Photography

Gliders

Here are the new leaked gliders and the skins I expect them to accompany.

Diverge: "Break away from the pack."

Commercial Photography

Diverge - Verge - give me a hard one.

Coaxial Copter: "Dual-rotor tactical copter."

Commercial Photography

This one will probably end up coming with the Tech Ops skin, which will be a bundle if my guess is correct.

Tusk: "Wild and windy."

Commercial Photography

The Tusk is obviously a companion to the new version of the Viking skins we're getting.

Winter's Thorn: "Ride out the squall."

Commercial Photography

Another obvious match with the Ice Queen skin.

Pickaxes

Here are the pickaxes that were found in the game files.

Evil Eye: "Always watching. Always."

Commercial Photography

Clean Cut: "Looks Sharp. Actually sharp."

Commercial Photography

Armature: "Experimental prototype."

Commercial Photography

Battle Axe: "Truly barbaric."

Commercial Photography

Flimsie Flail: "Flop til they drop."

Commercial Photography

Icebringer: "Bitter Cold."

Commercial Photography

We also saw some emotes that include: "IDK," "Slick," Flux," and "Whirlwind." These are a bit harder to pin down, though, since all we have are images of them. The IDK is probably going to be a must-cop, though.
