“So I bought a controller years ago and just found this, is it that rare? I’ve 0 Fortnite experience,” Admirable_Zombie5245 posted.
After Fortnite players soon flooded the comments, they were baffled to find out that their gift code rewards them with an Eon skin, which has long been renowned as one of the rarest in the game. So much so, that Dexerto has it ranked as the 10th most rare skin in Fortnite.
“For once, somebody’s asking ‘is it rare?’ and it actually is,” the top comment read, as another claimed: “those go for thousands I’d sell it if you don’t play the game.”
Many players debated the worth of the Eon skin, where it was believed that the player could get “at least $500-1000,” with some even stating even higher if they chose to sell it.
The Eon skin bundle, contains the Eon Outfit and 500 V-Bucks. It was released on September 27, 2018, as part of a limited promotional bundle for gamers who bought the Xbox One S console or a controller.
