Fortnite’s Next Icon Skin Is Based On Someone Who Got Famous At 14 Years Old

Fortnite’s roster of streamers who’ve skins within the item shop just got just a little greater with the addition of Cody “Clix” Conrod, who, at 19 years old, will likely be one in every of the youngest people ever to have a Fortnite skin based on them. Together with the brand new Clix skin, there will likely be a full slate of Clix-related cosmetics and, in a primary for this form of thing, a Clix-themed remix of an existing skin.

Clix, for many who aren’t familiar, made a reputation for himself by earning a spot within the Fortnite World Cup in 2019 when he was just 14 years old. And while he continues to compete at the best levels, he’s also change into a preferred streamer and personality, which is how he’s landed his very own Fortnite skin.

Clix’s slate of cosmetics will include a single skin that comes with two distinctive styles based on a meme you most likely know even when he’s latest to you–one by which he’s sporting a t-shirt and pajama pants, and one other by which he’s wearing a suit and tie. Along with the skin, Clix’s set includes two back blings, two emotes, a wrap, and a pickaxe.

There’s also a brand new Clix-themed version of the Sparkplug skin called Sparx. The whole lot listed here will likely be sold within the item shop starting March 22, each individually (including the back blings) and as a part of one large bundle that features all of it.

As is customary for this form of thing, Fortnite will offer players the prospect to unlock the entire set of cosmetics without spending a dime by participating within the Clix Icon Cup, a battle royale trios (builds only) tournament going down on March 21–those in the highest tier of performers for every region will earn the complete bundle. But in an unusual move, there’s also a consolation prize for many who just miss out: the next-best tier of performers will get the Sparx outflit. Anyone who earns not less than 8 points within the tournament will get a sprig.

Clix will change into the person born most recently to have a Fortnite skin, dethroning The Kid Laroi, who was also 19 when he got a skin in 2023. But here’s a fun fact: Kyle “Bugha” Giersdorf got his Fortnite skin when he was 18, making him the youngest to ever earn that honor.
