Fortnitechapter four’s first season kicked off with a trailer confirming a handful of new crossover characters for the battle royale game’s already massive roster.Doom Slayer, MrBeast, and Geralt of Rivia among them. Geralt’s quests and cosmetics were saved for later in the season, and now all of them are available to unlock, players have been left disappointed by the incredibly subtle differences between the twoWitcherskins.
As highlighted byGamesRadar, the first Witcher skin you’re able to unlock is simply called Geralt of Rivia. Another pretty impressive effort byEpicto make a character from an entirely different style of game fit its Fortnite aesthetic. The second page of Witcher rewards is now available to unlock, part of which is an alternate Viper School Geralt skin. However, you’ll need to look very closely to notice the differences.

you may take a look at the OG Witcher skin below and then the Viper School alternate a little further on in this article. If you flick back and forth quickly and multiple times, you might notice that yes, they are different. The newer skin is a slightly different color, but as some of you have already pointed out onReddit, even calling it a recolor is a stretch as the two are almost identical.
Others have questioned why Epic couldn’t have pulled different armor fromThe Witcher 3considering the various looks Geralt has in the game. Some would have even been happy with Geralt’sNetflixshow armor being used as an alternate. Effectively anything The Witcher has ever worn that isn’t the armor above would have been a more distinctive upgrade.
Yes, there are differences, but the point of a Fortnite skin is to show it off. Odds are someone gunning you down in the heat of a BR battle isn’t going to stop and notice you’re wearing the slightly different Geralt skin that requires more work to unlock. Maybe stick to the base Geralt skin or pick upthe Sam Wilson Captain America onethat was added as a part of Fortnite’s most recentMarvelcrossover earlier this month.
