FORTNITE CHAPTER 3: Gears of War Heroes Kait Diaz and Marcus Fenix Join The Fight

Fortnite Chapter 3 is not slowing down in terms of the great skins the team is adding to the game. Epic Games is no stranger to partnering with Xbox, PlayStation, and other third parties to add their most popular IP to their game as well, including Master Chief, Kratos, Aloy, Lara Croft, and more.

Epic Games next collaboration brings characters from an all to familiar franchise to them, Gears of War. Created by Epic Games and released in 2006 as the Xbox 360 exclusive killer app, the first Gears of War really showed off the capabilities of Unreal Engine 3 and is often looked at as the first graphical powerhouse of Microsoft’s sophomore effort.

Marcus Fenix skin with Sonic Resonator back bling
Kait Diaz skin with Reyna’s Pendant back bling
Breaker Mace pickaxe
Thumper pickaxe
Butcher Cleaver pickaxe
Skiff glider
Knife Tricks emote
