The vast number of skins you can choose from is always growing, which means there’s a chance the most popular skins to play could change in the future. For now, though, here’s what the most used skin is in Fortnite.

The most used skin in Fortnite overall is Aura, according to Fortnite.GG. This data is based on over 305 million uses from Fortnite Replay information, which means it’s the most accurate answer that’s known. She’s also generally known as one of the best sweaty skins to use in Fortnite.

There’s no official method of checking the most-used skins shared by the game developers, so it’s possible the truly most used skin might be slightly different. The data seems to be reliable though since it’s based on a very large pool of players.

The most used skin can also change at any point as more skins are released. Aura has been steadily in the top 10 since she was released on May 8, 2019, though, and she’s also the most used by a decently large margin, so there’s also a pretty good chance she’ll keep this spot—or at least remain among the top 10 permanently.

What are the most used skins in Fortnite?

Surprisingly, none of the Star Wars or Marvel skins, Icon skins, or other collaboration skins outside of Lara Croft are on this list. The game modes you play in most frequently also likely skew the skins you see most, though, and all of the most-used skins seem to primarily be those favored in competitive Fortnite events.
