Is it hot in here, or is it just your sweaty skin?

The term “sweaty” refers to players who try their hardest to win every match of Fortnite. Though countless skins are introduced into Fortnite with each patch, some gain a reputation for being the choice of sweaty players. Rarity is another factor that can play into the sweatiest Fortnite skins.

The best sweaty skins in Fortnite

Let’s take a look at the best sweaty skins in Fortnite that you can play as.

Aura

Soon after its release in 2019, Aura quickly became a fan favorite among high-level players and the sweatiest Fortnite skin. As Aura started getting more highlights in tournaments, it also appeared more often in ranked games, equipped mainly by players looking to bring home the next Cash Cup.

You’ll be able to play as Aura easily, as the common skin is often available in the shop.

Superhero Skins

When superhero skins first came out, they quickly became some of the sweatiest Fortnite skins but also offered fun alternatives that allowed players to customize their version. While most players had fun experimenting with different color combinations, others decided to gain a competitive advantage from the superhero skins. The skins remained customizable but the all-white and all-black versions were soon banned.

Tip: Some skins have a tactical advantage visually

The sweatiest players started customizing superhero skins with only a single color. Green, black, and white are the most popular single-color superhero skins, and they can help players blend in with the environment and move less noticeably.

These skins often become available in the shop whenever a new superhero collaboration skin is released in Fortnite.

Soccer skins

After the 2018 FIFA World Cup, soccer skins took over Fortnite and became one of the favorite choices of sweaty players. There are a total of eight soccer skins, and all of them are customizable. Players can change the colors on the entire outfit, meaning you can customize a unique one.

The soccer skins usually come back to the shop whenever a notable soccer event occurs somewhere in the world.

Focus

The Focus Skin was released in season 9 and is rated as one of the top-used sweatiest Fortnite skins. Focus has to be mentioned when acknowledging sweaty skins because of the number of players that enjoy playing the masked sweat. Getting gunned down by Focus can be pretty annoying, knowing it is a sweaty skin.

Since Focus is pretty much everything you could ask for in a Fortnite skin, she is considered both the coolest and the sweatiest in the community.

Surf Witch

Pink hair, pump shot-gunned in the face, and emoted on. That was my first 1-v-1 experience with this sweaty skin. After getting jumped by her several times, I knew this skin had to be among the top-ranked, sweatiest Fortnite skins. Surf Witch looks like she would tell you off. She always makes sure to confirm the kill, ensuring she has earned her place on the Guilty of Sweaty list.

Rolling in a puddle of sweat, Byte comes in with a slimy, sleek look. He’s the most annoying in the game purely because of his design, making one of the more fun, sweaty Fortnite skins. Byte is a pretty rare skin as it was only available in Chapter 3: Season 4 Battle Pass. He was released with a variety of alterations that relieved his conniving look.

An Uncommon skin, Par Patroller is from the Rough Raiders set and was released in Chapter Two: Season Three. Seen as another sweaty Fortnite skin, Par Patroller is yet another sports-esque skin, just like the soccer skins. The good news is that Par Patroller is pretty cheap for a skin within the top ranks of the Sweaty List.

All gamers know who Lara Croft is! Adding her to Fortnite opened new doors for possible sweats to rule the battlefield, wearing one of the sweatiest Fortnite skins. Players enjoy wrapping the Tomb Raider in sweaty combos, including specific backpacks and pickaxes. She was a part of the Lara Croft set and also within the Battle Pass during Chapter Two: Season Six.

Echo is also a skin that completely jumped me and my entire team in Trio Mode. With the slick comb-over, half-faced shades, and stiff-collared jacket, Echo wreaks havoc as one of the sweatiest Fortnite skins! Echo is a rare skin in Fortnite and can be purchased in the Item Shop or as a part of the Twin Echo Bundle.

Siren is a Rare skin in Fortnite coming in high on the list of Try Hard Sweats. Even the Star Wand pickaxe from BenjyFishy’s Locker Bundle has become a must-use sweat pickaxe! This popular skin hails from Chapter Two: Season Two and was part of the Hit Squad Set. She brands a mean eyepatch which tells you she’s not one to mess with.

Tip:

If you don’t have any of these skins and they aren’t appearing in the Fortnite shop anytime soon, you can try to find the best skin in your collection that blends in with parts of the map. Currently, there’s a large chunk of snow on the map so skins with a larger amount of white like the Focus skin listed above can help you blend in.


Now that you know which skins are the sweatiest Fortnite skins around, you can get out there and sweat to your heart’s content.
