So, exciting news for Fortnite today, as one of the rarest skins in the game is back in the Item Shop. There is, however, a bit of confusion surrounding the skin. When it first went live in the store, it seemed like a mistake, as it was taken down a few minutes later. However, the skin is now back and available to purchase for 1200 V-Bucks, and it's even branded with a banner that says "It's Back".
After checking the store again, we can confirm that the skin is live, right now, and available for purchase, but why is everyone so excited? Simply put, the Recon Expert hasn't been available in the store for a long time. The skin actually predates the massive success that Fortnite enjoyed, and many players never had the chance to get their hands on it. Because the skin hasn't been available for so long, only a small percentage of the active player base has it.
Is the Recon Expert worth the 1200 V-Bucks it costs? It is entirely up to you. The skin is old and is a slice of Fortnite history, but when you compare it to some of the newer skins, that doesn't seem like much. One of the reasons skin was so valuable is the simple fact that people didn't have it. Tipping the Recon Expert skin in a match was an instant way to let people know you've been around a long time, but that effect doesn't matter anymore because you could have bought the skin this morning.
Either way, if you want the skin, it's here for you and available for purchase, as the skin isn't without its charm.
