“Possibly soon, potentially never”: Fortnite community is still waiting for the Axle skin to release in Chapter 5 Season 3
Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 3 has been filled to the brim with content for players to explore, including new cosmetics not just in the Battle Pass but also through other mediums like the Item Shop. However, while the game has been cycling through and releasing new skins for players to add to their collection, some of the anticipated cosmetics have been left out of the Wasteland saga.
This is highlighted in a recent Reddit post shared by u/Interesting-Sale1617, where the player brought up the Axle skin, the redesign of the Dummy Outfit that was prominently featured in Chapter 5 Season 3 surveys while also being hinted at in-game. The skin has yet to show itself in the Fortnite Item Shop and this has left players confused, especially given how the character fits the current season's aesthetic.
The Reddit post attracted attention from the community, with players coming forward to opine on when the Axle skin will be released, leading Redditor u/deadering to state:
“Possibly soon, potentially never.”
Other members of the community took to the comments to chime in on the discussion around the Axle skin. Redditor u/South_Scar8093 highlighted how the skin has been teased for a while and how it could turn out to be a Level Up pack, much like Triarch Aurora's Level Up Quest Pack.
u/SubjectUserRedd expressed their confusion at the Axle skin not releasing yet, highlighting the presence of the Dummy NPC on the map and certain in-game hints.
Meanwhile, u/Royal_Asteroid_69 conveyed how the Axle skin should have been featured in the Chapter 5 Season 3 Battle Pass, replacing the Rust Outfit. To this, Redditor u/Happy_Suspect_256 expressed how they would much rather replace the Brite Raider Outfit, highlighting the existence of so many other Brite Bomber skins.
When will the Axle skin be added to Fortnite?
As highlighted by the Reddit post, there is a demand for the Axle skin to come to the game. However, as to the question of when it will be added, there is no concrete answer. The outfit has been teased even before Chapter 5 Season 3, with the Dummy NPC talking about Axle and a makeover in Chapter 5 Season 2.
Despite these clues, there have been no developments regarding the skin, and Epic Games has yet to either add or at least acknowledge the skin. Only time will tell if the outfit will be added to the game or just stay as a survey concept.
