Fortnite Leak Suggests a 'Robber Pickle' Skin Could Be Coming in Chapter 6 Season 2

A well-known Fortnite leaker has hinted at the arrival of a quirky new skin in the upcoming Chapter 6 Season 2 battle pass—a "robber pickle." As Chapter 6 Season 1 wraps up, Epic Games is preparing for another exciting season after introducing a fresh map, revamped movement mechanics, and a slew of unique game modes.

This past season also brought several high-profile collaborations, thrilling fans with unexpected crossovers. The battle pass featured Godzilla, allowing players to embody the iconic kaiju mid-match. Epic Games also reintroduced DC cosmetics to the Item Shop, adding LEGO-themed styles, and stirred up controversy with a Skibidi Toilet crossover.

Now, anticipation is building for what's next. In a recent tweet, reliable leaker ShiinaBR revealed that the "robber pickle" skin might debut in the Chapter 6 Season 2 battle pass, set to launch on February 21. According to the leak, this peculiar character will sport a balaclava, a gold chain, and come with an emote called "Dill With It," which adds sunglasses to the outfit. Many believe this could be a playful spin on Peely, Fortnite’s beloved banana mascot.

Fans React to the 'Robber Pickle' Leak

Peely has been a staple in Fortnite for years, even making an appearance during the infamous Fortnite vs. Apple lawsuit. Currently, there are 14 variations of Peely in the game, and reactions to the "robber pickle" skin have been mixed. While some players are experiencing Peely fatigue, frustrated by the constant stream of new variants, others are excited to see Epic Games putting a fresh twist on a familiar favorite. Many fans have already expressed eagerness to unlock the skin in the new battle pass, claiming they’d buy it even if it were sold separately.

Pricing Concerns Loom Over Peely-Themed Content

Epic Games recently released Peely-themed Kicks in Fortnite, but they were met with criticism over pricing. Fans have voiced frustration, calling the Kicks overpriced—original versions cost 600 V-Bucks, while crossover designs with brands like Nike and Adidas can reach 1,000 V-Bucks. While it’s unclear if Epic Games plans to adjust prices based on community feedback, players are hopeful that future cosmetics, including the rumored "robber pickle", will be more reasonably priced.

With Chapter 6 Season 2 just around the corner, it won’t be long before players find out if the "robber pickle" will officially join Fortnite's colorful roster of characters.
