Fortnite: How to get OG Renegade Raider & Aerial Assault Trooper

Rare Fortnite skins Renegade Raider and Aerial Assault Trooper will return to the game on Thursday, Dec. 19, according to reliable leakers. These highly sought-after skins have remained elusive for over seven years, with many players purchasing accounts to get them.

However, beginning at 7 p.m. ET this evening, the entire Season Shop from Chapter 1 Season 1 will be available for the first time since they left the Item Shop in 2017. Here's how to get Renegade Raider and Aerial Assault Trooper when they return.

Following rumors of two of Fortnite's rarest skins returning to the game, leakers have confirmed via decrypted Item Shop assets that Renegade Raider and Aerial Assault Trooper are back. This re-release features the two skins, the Aerial Assault One Glider and Raider's Revenge Pickaxe.

You can get each skin back for 1,200 V-Bucks, just like when they were released in 2017. However, you must earn 2 million XP in Fortnite to unlock the ability to purchase all four cosmetic items. All four items, Renegade Raider, Aerial Assault Trooper, Raider's Revenge, and Aerial Assault, are in the Item Shop now.

Here's how the unlocking process will work:

Renegade Raider and Aerial Assault Trooper debuted in the OG Fortnite Chapter 1 Season 1 Shop. They remained available for purchase from Nov. 8 to Dec. 13, 2017, before exiting the Item Shop for over 2,500 days. Both skins have become two of the rarest in all of Fortnite history. Collectors anxiously waited for the chance to unlock them again, and that day has finally arrived.

Both skins will be available until Fortnite OG Chapter 1 Season 1 ends on Jan. 31, 2025. Diehard Fortnite fans won't miss the opportunity to acquire Renegade Raider and Aerial Assault Trooper. Who knows when and if they will ever return?
