Those sneaky dataminers have been at it again. A Fortnite Wilde skin starter pack has been found within the game’s files before its actual release. If you want to know how to get the Wilde outfit and its Palette Pack back bling, we’re here to help. Learn everything worth knowing about the Fortnite Wilde skin below.
Fortnite Wilde Skin | Release date
The Fortnite Wilde skin was discovered by prominent Fortnite leakers, such as Lucas7yoshi, ahead of its official release date. This leak came after the 9.10 update went live on Wednesday, May 22 as dataminers scoured the game’s files for new finds.
In terms of when its expected release date, we’re not sure yet. It shouldn’t be too long before we find out when it will be available to get. It’s always possible that Epic Games will patch it through when the Season 9 Week 3 challenges go live on Thursday, May 23. For now, we’ll have to wait and see.
Fortnite Wilde Skin | How to unlock
If you’re curious about how you can get the Fortnite Wilde skin, you can wonder no longer. It will be coming to the game’s store as soon as it’s officially patched into the game, so you won’t have to complete any tasks in order to unlock it.
The starter pack will come with the Wilde outfit, a new back bling cosmetic called the Palette Pack, and some V-Bucks to spend in the item shop. The skin itself, as you can see from its leaked image, is a female outfit. It comes equipped with a snazzy white jacket with fuzzy black lightning lines across it, and a black tank top. Purple and light blue shorts, a pastel pink holster with turquoise spikes on it, and contrasting pink and white socks and boots complete the look.
The Palette Pack back bling, meanwhile, is a purple and light blue backpack that comes with a meaty looking knife and a cool black and white logo at the bottom. Starter kits typically cost you around $4.99 (£3.99), and normally come with 600 V-Bucks included if specified.

10 of Fortnite's Rarest Skins
Whether you're dropping into Fatal Fields or Greasy Grove, you want to look your best. Fortnite has countless skins, but there are those select few that prove that you put the work in. Whether you were just an early adopter or racked up the kills, here are a look at some of the rarest Fortnite skins around. -
Dire
Howl at the moon as Dire, the Werewolf Ninja Hero popping straight out of Save the World. It was the Tier 100 reward of the Season 6 battle pass, but that only got you his human form. To get him all wolfed out, you needed to complete a set of six challenges during the season. -
Galaxy
Would you purchase a cell phone just to get your hands on a Fortnite skin? Some people just may have done that to get Galaxy, the skin only available to owners of Samsung Galaxy phones and tablets during the Android beta period. He's shiny, but not that shiny. -
Giddy Up
Show your love for Fortnite's loot llamas by riding an inflatable one into battle. This jokey costume was available at Tier 23 of the Season 6 Battle Pass and comes with a custom emote. The female version of this skin, Yee-Haw!, is purchasable at the item store. -
Merry Marauder
Merry Marauder is an angry looking gingerbread man who released onto the item shop in December of 2017. He's a holiday-oriented fellow, so he only pops up when Santa is done checking his list twice. Purchasing him will also net you the Mini Marauder back bling, although that doesn't seem to make this ginger man any happier. -
Nightshade
Once you reached Tier 86 of the Season 6 Battle Pass, you received Nightshade. A female version of Tomatohead, she and her Night Cloak back bling are all part of the Pizza Pit theme; the perfect complement when you're fighting against the Burger menace. -
Recon Expert
Decidedly less flashy than other skins on this list, Recon Expect is rare solely due to its release window. It was one of the first skins to hit the shop, before the influx of players that made Fortnite the phenomenon that it is today. While it may rotate back onto the store someday, it's a rare find. -
Renegade Raider
Similar to Recon Expert, Renegade Rider only showed up very early in Fortnite's lifespan. Unlike Recon Expert, that apocalyptic melee weapon makes her fit in a bit more with the skull soldiers and vampires we're all used to seeing. Keep a lookout to see if this Raider will ever climb out of the bunker again. -
Royale Bomber
The Royale Bomber is a PlayStation exclusive, but that's not all. You only got this sunglass toting agent if you purchased specific PlayStation hardware. A controller in the U.S. and a console bundle in the European region. It's quite a hassle to look this good. -
The Reaper
Baba Yaga. The Boogeyman. The Reaper. All of these names apply to John Wick and also this somehow completely unrelated skin in Fortnite Awarded at the end of the Season 3 Battle Pass. Just don't tell anyone in Hollywood, I don't think they've noticed yet. -
Trog
Trog is love. Trog is life. Trog is the reward for Tier 71 of the Season 7 Battle Pass. We may never know where Trog is looking thanks to his famous cross-eyes, but we know that he loves all his children equally and also he is going to shoot some fools with a shotgun. Trog.
