On October 31, in honor of Halloween, the 100 Thieves streamer went live on Twitch wearing face paint that made him look like the iconic Frankenstein monster.
While many of his viewers were quick to playfully poke fun at him for it, Nick used his charismatic personality to pull off the costume quite successfully.

However, even though Halloween is now well over, some of his fans have not quite been ready to let go of his costume, as one of his viewers created a full replica of it as a concept Fortnite skin in-game.
The skin is called Frankemercs and comes in Legendary rarity, with a whopping price tag of 2 million V-Bucks. That would approximately come out to $14,800 USD.

The effect of the concept skin is both hilarious and actually quite clever; the character’s face resembles Nick’s quite well, and the MFAM logo is emblazoned perfectly on the shirt.
Even the description of the skin, which reads “Listen, don’t wanna f****n’ talk about it,” is definitely up Nick’s alley in terms of what he would say.

In fact, the designer paid so much attention to detail, that even the flip-flops that the skin is wearing in the image are themed after the Michigan football team, which Nick is a huge fan of and has deep ties to.
