Fortnite's Next Icon Skin Is Based On Someone Who Got Famous At 14 Years Old
Fortnite's roster of streamers who have skins in the item shop just got a little bigger with the addition of Cody "Clix" Conrod, who, at 19 years old, will be one of the youngest people ever to have a Fortnite skin based on them. Along with the new Clix skin, there will be a full slate of Clix-related cosmetics and, in a first for this sort of thing, a Clix-themed remix of an existing skin.
Clix, for those who aren't familiar, made a name for himself by earning a spot in the Fortnite World Cup in 2019 when he was just 14 years old. And while he continues to compete at the highest levels, he's also become a popular streamer and personality, which is how he's landed his very own Fortnite skin.
Clix's slate of cosmetics will include a single skin that comes with two distinctive styles based on a meme you probably know even if he's new to you--one in which he's sporting a t-shirt and pajama pants, and another in which he's wearing a suit and tie. In addition to the skin, Clix's set includes two back blings, two emotes, a wrap, and a pickaxe.
