The latest buzz in the Fortnite community is coming from a well-known leaker who let slip that a “robber pickle” skin might just be part of the Chapter 6 Season 2 battle pass. Fortnite’s current season has stirred things up quite a bit, introducing a fresh map, overhauling how characters move, and launching some intriguing new game modes.
The first season of Chapter 6 wasn’t short on excitement either, especially with some jaw-dropping collaborations. Players had a blast with the chance to embody Godzilla during a match as part of the battle pass. Epic Games cleverly reintroduced some long-missed DC cosmetics with a LEGO twist, and to top it off, they threw in a crossover with Skibidi Toilet, sparking quite the debate among the fans.
Fortnite is known for its frequent surprises, and the chatter about a “robber pickle” skin making its debut is gaining traction thanks to leaker ShiinaBR’s recent Twitter revelation. Set for release on February 21, this unique character is rumored to sport a balaclava and a flashy gold chain, potentially complete with an uncanny emote named “Dill With It” that adds a cool pair of sunglasses. Though seemingly another twist on the fan-favorite Peely, known for being one of Fortnite’s enduring mascots, this playful pickle concept has certainly caught the community’s attention.
Peely, an ever-popular figure in the game, has been around long enough to even feature in the famous lawsuit between Epic Games and Apple. Currently, there are a whopping 14 variations of Peely skins available. While reactions to the “robber pickle” concept are mixed—some feeling a bit of Peely fatigue, others celebrate the creativity. Many players are thrilled at the idea of seeing their banana buddy with a burglar twist, with fans eagerly waiting to snag the skin, should it become available.
Epic Games, meanwhile, has also been in the spotlight with their Peely-themed Kicks. Though these have faced criticism over their pricing—600 V-Bucks for the originals and up to 1,000 for brand crossovers with Nike and Adidas—there’s hope in the community that prices might come down.
Fortnite’s ever-evolving world keeps its players on their toes, always ready for the next big thing. Whether you love or hate the idea of a thieving pickle, there’s no denying that Epic Games knows how to keep the conversation going among its dedicated players.
