Epic GamesFans of Canadian Fortnite streamer Nick Eh 30 are defending his Icon Series skin after players call it “trash” and “cringe.”
Popular Fortnite streamer Nick Eh 30 announced his Icon Series skin in a stream on June 11, revealing his full cosmetic set that will soon arrive in the game. The set includes one outfit with two selectable styles, a pickaxe that makes an “EHHHH” sound when you hit a player, a back bling, an emoticon, spray, emote, and a Jam Track made by Epic and Nick himself.
