Skins allowing players to look and even act like legendary infiltrators Solid Snake and Raiden from the Metal Gear Solid series are now live in Fortnite. If you've ever found yourself dreaming of controlling the battlefield and thus getting to rewrite history, then now's the perfect chance to act.
In addition to unlockable skins depicting Solid Snake (with toggleable goggles), Old Snake, and Raiden, an arsenal of Metal Gear-themed gear is being introduced. Wringle around in a Cardboard Box, and if that won't work, engage EMP Stealth Camo pickups for a more active form of concealment. In a shameless act of censorship, Snake's powerful glutes have been slimmed down and sanitized in this iteration, in a move some pundits have called a "booty nerf".
What do you think of the Fortnite iterations of Solid Snake and Raiden? Do they live up to the legends? Let us know in the comments section below.

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: Us assless people need representation too!
Can’t stand all of this discrimination, like people complaining about Mario’s butt in the Mario Movie, and now this with Snake in Fortnite.
I think it’s great that these popular characters can be used to highlight the plight of the bum deficient 🤣
talk about a long time coming
(i think im using it right)
They had one job. Honestly.
Cool cyborg ninja with backwards sword technique vs whiny blonde ring pull and they go with the rug pull.
Come on Epic, nobody wants Raiden in a world Gray Fox exists in.
@RadioHedgeFund this is so true! Or at least Metal Gear Rising Raiden version lol
I got Snake and Old Snake last night but I didn't see Raiden anywhere (no pun intended with the hiding).
That is NOT Solid Snake!
@RadioHedgeFund Raiden is heavily underrated as a protagonist. It's well known
I found Snake on the island and did a couple of the cardboard box missions but that’s about it so far. It’s cool that he’s in it though, not a lot of Super Smash Bros fighters in Fortnite.😂
@Skeletor85 Pretty sure Raiden is going to be an additional paid skin. Pretty common for them to do that with the extra character slot in the battle pass, like with Eren Yeager -> Mikasa, Levi and Geralt -> Ciri, Yennefer. Actually, with that trend (two additional characters on top of the battle pass character) I wouldn't hate for them to put in another notable character alongside Raiden...
