"It looks so bad": Fortnite community divided in opinion over Aubrey Skin

Fortnite has managed to keep its cosmetic library fresh over the years by constantly releasing new outfits and even bringing in characters from other IPs (Intellectual Properties) and universes. With such a vast range of cosmetics available in this title, some skins released by Epic Games are bound to see a mixed reception.

Such is the case with the recently released Aubrey skin, a brand-new outfit that follows a similar color scheme to the Skye outfit from Chapter 2 Season 2. It doesn't seem out of place compared to most other Fortnite skins. However, not everyone likes this outfit.

The main post became a hub for players in the Fortnite community to talk about the Aubrey skin. Reddit user u/zenixTF expressed confusion at the fact that the skin is meant to be a demolitionist. To this, Reddit user u/WrstScp explained how Aubrey's set is named Detonator. This suggests that the Demolitionist is indeed the design Epic was going for.

Some people highlighted this wasn't ideal for such a childlike character.

Not all players had negative opinions about the Aubrey skin, with Reddit users u/ZenTheCrusader and u/Saffronation expressing how they appreciate the silly design of this skin and how it's gradually growing on them.

Additionally, Reddit user u/DownToZZZ suggested that this outfit was Epic Games' attempt at representing a person with autism. This prompted a response from Reddit user u/BlackICEE32oz, who expressed that even though people may laugh at the skin's design, it counts as a small step toward inclusion. Their comment makes it seem like they bought the skin for what it represents.
