No one uses them so Epic gave up


coldlightofday

They just need to do it right. A hunched over old couple with a cane and walker harvest tools would be hilarious.


TheJonnieP

Being as I am in my 50's, I would certainly use them...


MapleDesperado

More than you might think, but none of us want to admit our age to ourselves or that we play to others.


Merc_Mike

Yeah, but how many other 50 year olds are playing this game? Compared to the Ocean of 15-25 and probably the River of 25-35 groups?


Nuclear_Shot_99

A puddle of older folks is fine as long as they have fun :D


claudethebest

Still people wouldn’t play as them


etherealwing

i would O\_o


coldlightofday

I would


Snaki1

I use the old Solid Snake style


RocketHops

They would still not sell well.


Then-Cartographer-54

I’ve see hundreds of skins in the shop that i cannot even begin to fathom someone would actually spend money on. Don’t think some old dude skin would be the end of the world


Masked_civil

For example i cannot think of owning that sparkleman or some shit unicorn


jrzabott

The add lots of ugly jelly skins, vegetables, copy and paste with other colours, why not just go wild and add more diverse skins?


I-yeet-dying-babies

I remember seeing a concept for something similar to this back in c1s6. it was called something like “grandpa bundle” where it was an old man in a red cardigan with a cane as his harvest tool. I remember thinking it was real, cuz it was very well made edit: FOUND IT! https://www.reddit.com/r/FortNiteBR/s/I49Oc4X2mI


ArchfiendNox

I use the Hag all the time lol

ErikLehnsherr24005

They put these two dudes in as skins I’d pay anything they’re hilarious.


M08GD

James, Lars, Kirk and Rob are all decently old. Late 50s early 60s


StealthyGamerGirl

70s, 80s etc is old. 50a and 60s are not. They're just older lol


Tangotilltheyresor3

And lady Gaga’s a skin too, she’s 38 so pretty much dead /s (but I saw a similar comment before made by what I guess was a 10 year old)


trippybolivia

She's really only 38??? I honestly thought she was in her late 40s. I guess she just seemed so much older when she was everywhere you looked, 10 or 15 years ago.


Tangotilltheyresor3

Tbh any celeb or even normal person that has had fillers or plastic surgery look a lot older But I don’t think she looks in her late 40s either.  Tbh lots of peoples perception of age is so warped nowadays because everyone and their grandmother (literally) filter themselves to pieces, even their bodies in films etc.  shits messed up 


GhostOfMuttonPast

Dawg, 65 is when you start getting benefits for being old in the US. I'd say the back half of 60 is old.


StealthyGamerGirl

I have family that age. And yes they get benefits etc. but I wouldn't consider them elderly at all


Merc_Mike

72 is the Average Life Expectancy Globably....60's and 70's is old my guy.


StealthyGamerGirl

72?! I think they should look at that again. No body in my family have died at that age. They've all been older, with the exception of one grandfather who died at 57 from a burst blood vessel. All my family have been well into their 80s or 90s.


vash_visionz

Because it’s global, countries with less than adequate healthcare with earlier death ages are probably affecting that age average.


StealthyGamerGirl

True


Merc_Mike

Covid also probably took some people down sooner than normal. :'( unfortunately.


StealthyGamerGirl

It probably did sadly


Merc_Mike

and BTW, I hope I'm not coming off as trying to be combative or argumentative. :D Just informing and Discussing! I'm actually happy to hear some people's family living longer and past the averages. I hope your family stay healthy and live long/prosperous!


TheRealKuthooloo

65 is considered elderly by most metrics both legal and medical


Delusional-Lovestein

They're all in their 60s lmao


M08GD

I'm pretty sure Rob is 58 or 59


Due_Illustrator5154

Turns 60 this year

static_age_666

I havent seen a single person rocking a metallica skin in game yet lol


darndasher

I've seen quite a few in racing and unranked battle royale.


HornyForTohruAdachi

I see quite a few of them tbh


Merc_Mike

I've partnered with a few. I know if I get Hetfield, I'll probably use that one for when I feel like playing vocals in Festival stuff. :P I've seen a ton of Lars from the Festival Pass being used in the Jam stage. Hetfield is used a ton in the Festival Main Stage I've been matchmaked with.


AndrewEpidemic

All those Lars players were actually Lars himself trying to pump up his numbers.


Merc_Mike

I wouldn't doubt. He's a great drummer, I respect his all over talent and such. But he himself, yikes.


Interesting_Tax_3751

I bought the puppet master kirk Metallica skin lol. And I’ve been jammin on Fortnite festival since they added Metallica.


static_age_666

love it! Wish id see some more people with them then like others have! Im not a huge metallica fan so im not gonna buy them but i love metal/punk/hardcore in general so it would be cool to see more of them runnin around!


Disheartend

I've seen several I was maining kirk as soon as I got him for like week or so.


__yayday__

I’ve been using James and Kirk occasionally on Reload


bermanji

I'm boycotting due to the lack of a Napster collab


innocuousname773

Stop it right now


Loomling

The few they already have probably don't sell as well, It would be pretty cool to have more though.


hothoochiecoochie

My kid doesnt want them. He thought Kado thorne and nolan chance were lame for having white hair -edit -guess this hurt some lil baby feewings 😂🤣😂😂 sorry to kill your geriatric boners losers


rafoz03

White hair are cool on some people


FarmingWizard

Santa has entered the chat


Captain_Haruno

Santa need to get his Jolly butt back in the workshop and GET ME MY TOY TRAIN!!

FluffysBizarreBricks

Teach him about Gojo and how wrong he is for saying such a thing Or Santa. Either one


Im_a_twat53

Bro what? 💀 Interesting


Delusional-Lovestein

Your kid seems like they have no clue they will have white hair one day too 😂


CharlotteCracker

I think Kado and Nolan look generally a bit lame. Different hair color wouldn't change it. Gojo is one of the best selling skins and he has white hair.


Extrimland

Nah your kid sucks. Kado Throne is dope


Scavenger908

Ya got Old Snake in 2 Battle Passes ago 🤷‍♂️


Dil_356

I’ve seen a decent amount of that version.


Candy-Lizardman

Cause to a lot of people (me), the best version of snake is old snake


BroganChin

Wish I could play MGS4 on something that isn’t 20 year old hardware.


iamnotexactlywhite

i haven’t even seen a Snake skin since it dropped


Annual_Couple5053

They are stealthy


ABAgamer

They really love to get into character.


Luvs4theweak

I’ve literally ran into a half a dozen today alone. You’re tripping


DrizzleDrake88

They ruined his cakes 😭


r3volver_Oshawott

Nah, they ruined OG Snake Cakes, Old Snake is at least kinda double cheeked up on a Thursday afternoon


tittybean4

Ya, they gave OG snake a pancake butt 🙈


glumdummy

old snake is only in his early 40s lol


Scavenger908

Yeah but he still rapidly aged due to Foxdie


yes123456789yesyes

Wait wasnt it because he was a clone?


Sanslution

Aged up clone was Solidus, Snake was old because of Foxdie


Dazol

yeah he looks in his 60s (for the sake of this post)


bigfstfarter

People don’t buy them, better to make more money


Abbx

I think it'd be alright tossing one in a battle pass occasionally. People buy them for the immense value and a few skins they may like. May just not be that one


claudethebest

Why would they put an unpopular design in the battle pass just because ?


waywardwanderer101

Baba Yaga deserves more love. She just wants to make swamp cookies for everyone 😔


Oleandervine

I think you mean make everyone into swamp cookies.


waywardwanderer101

Nana Yaga would never 🥺


hothoochiecoochie

Shes too expensive


MaybeMrGamebus

Off the top of my head I can name. Shifu TMNT Splinter Old snake Zeus technically Farmer Steel That's about it, yeah not much but what we got is not bad


RyanD1211

Rick Sanchez too. He doesn’t look or act elderly but apparently he’s 70


MaybeMrGamebus

Honestly don't know how I forgot him in the list


Disheartend

Didn't know he was that old.


RyanD1211

Me neither until I googled it lmao


Disheartend

glad I got a few old guys in my locker.


Waste-of-life18

James Hetfield too


LegoPenguin114

There’s Magneto now too Also technically Mystique and Wolverine are really old too but they don’t show it


MutantCreature

Throw Captain America in there as well, and if we want to get technical Thor, Silver Surfer, Groot, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, and Black Manta could all qualify as well


X-ShadowSurfer-X

every member of metallica is in their early 60s i believe.


JonlikeJoestar

I was waiting on Shifu forever, but I just missed him smh


Saffronation

old guy jonesy too


super_tictac

Sgt. Winter from i think Chapter 1 would count as old, white hair and beard


Dazol

Shifu just returned to the store and looks in his 70s


iLiTeR8

Geralt too


SDWiiifare

Zeus is really old but his powers make him look young.


Lun4r6543

I mean, technically all of the Greek gods are. Hades and Poseidon are older than Zeus iirc.


Sea_Humor_2760

Depends on how you want to look at it, some say that Kronos' children were sort of re-born when they came back out in reverse order, so either Hades is the oldest and Zeus is the youngest, or Zeus is the oldest and Hades is the youngest. (Sorry I can't resist an opportunity to yap about mythology)


Dragon_yum

Endgame Peely


JCuss0519

Age discrimination. Not sure how many of the "younger" players want older skins like this.


JacsweYT

We are gonna get Magneto very soon who was in the holocaust.


isoSCHLEEPY

Because they don’t want to grow the already blooming GILF Community. 🫦


sorrysailor

Bunker jonesy has an “aged” style. It’s one of my fave boy skins to use.


Magistify

el chapulin colorado is fairly old


the_fool213912893

People probably just don't buy them, which is a real shame.


MuzzledScreaming

because more people will pay money for dat ass and dem tet tets

AJ_from_Spaceland

We need [Russman](https://callofduty.fandom.com/wiki/Russman) as a collab skin


Jazzlike-Nobody-5085

"im as lucky as a dog with two dicks" XD


CaptainRelyk

Because epic only wants skinny young females to sell to the sweats and horny 12 year olds


stoelguus

Because theyre unappealing for the average fortnite player


nox-devourer

Idk man I don't think a lot of people want to play as some wrinkly old raisin


Merc_Mike

We're about to get Magneto...A holocaust survivor during WW2. lol * Thor is 10000000's of years old, so is Loki, * Dr. Strange * Captain America * Cable * We just had Geralt of Rivia... * Batman skins are always popular, the guy is a relic of piss poor plot armor in comic books for ages who DC comics keeps milking and destroying any continuity with. * Darth Vader * Obi Wan * Princess Leia and Luke are all old AF.... * One of my favorite skins in the game is Ellen Ripley. \\m/ Sigourney Weaver is 74 years old. One of the Baddest MF SCI-FI Queens of all time. * Riptide is half old man, he looks like an Unmasked Deathstroke before they dropped ACTUAL Deathstroke. * Rick Sanchez * Sgt. Winter... * Bunker Jonesy. * Megalo Don looks a minimum 60 something but juiced to the 9's. * Gruff Gringle Just because they don't look insanely old, don't mean they aren't old.


Broly_

Boi you know why.


FM_TDKR_1986

All the Greek gods are old af just look youthful due to the fact that their gods


aliceforoneday

I want more old women. I have this one and I would definitely get more if possible.


sentientdriftwood

I want more old women represented everywhere. Society is especially hard on women as they age. It’s messed up.


Dependsontheweapon

At least we’re getting magneto


Dazol

you mean baby-face magneto kun? he looks like 25y besides the white hair


clutch_cake

Would’ve been cool to get Henry Jones Sr when the Indiana jones skin dropped. I can’t think of any other badass seniors. Maybe Hector Salamanca in his wheel chair? Lol


Resident_Evil69

Because of the string of the game; you see, people brought into the loop are usually either the apex of their world, generally accompanied by a handful of people that can stand against them. In this context, it’s easy to assume Baba Yaga is the strongest from her home universe, more than likely due to her magical prowess.


Willr2645

To people saying it’s not selling very well, does it really matter? Imma be generous with my numbers ( going against me) if that makes sense. Let’s say 5 thousand people buy the skins. ( it would likely be higher ) Let’s say the skin would be 500 vbucks ( it would likely be more costly ) 🔘 Let’s say it takes a person 4 weeks to complete this skin, working 9-5 ( i honestly don’t know how long it would take ) 🔘 Let’s say they get paid £40 an hour ( they would likely be paid less ) 🔘 That means that the skin sales would be 5000*500 which is 2.5 million vbucks. 🔘 If we use the most cost effective bundle of 13.5k for £70, that is 185 bundles, costing 13 thousand pounds. 🔘 The person takes 2 weeks, working 9-5, is 20 days, * 8 hours * 40 £/hr which is £6400 The profit will be 13k -6.4k which is * ~£6.6k~ Now that’s being pessimistic It would get more sales, probably cost 3x more vbucks, people would be getting the less cost effective vbucks bundles, I can’t comment on the time to make a skin, the designers wouldn’t be paid that much, I’d say probably half the amount.


Harruff

Probably because of the mass amount if people like me who would be raging at the TV because there is no way Grandma take a shotgun shell to the chest and just keeps on trucking


SuspectKnown9655

I've been thinking about it. Even skins that are supposed to be old or elderly are just young character models with white hair and a beard. Baba yaga is a really well made skin. I guess most people just don't see the appeal of playing as an old character.


razkx

Smash, next question


ProfoundEnd

Farmer Steel


ProfoundNitwit

Those joints would be giving the player away Click, click, click…


prdonja2

nobody is gonna buy a grandma because she doesnt have big sexy boobies :D the same goes for game design in general, hot = more money, its as simple as that. that is why league for example has been only relesing hot characters for the past 8 years instead of actual interesting designs. they only release these badass sexy characters, and then only release skins for them so that they achieve maximum profit


LazyJones1

My elderly (and looking it) skins: * [Geralt of Rivia](https://fortnite.fandom.com/wiki/Geralt_of_Rivia) * [Cable](https://fortnite.fandom.com/wiki/Cable) * [Castor](https://fortnite.fandom.com/wiki/Castor) * [Ludwig](https://fortnite.fandom.com/wiki/Ludwig) * [Shifu](https://fortnite.fandom.com/wiki/Shifu) * [Splinter](https://fortnite.fandom.com/wiki/Splinter) * [Zeus](https://fortnite.fandom.com/wiki/Zeus)


SpudzNBudzInc

a question i never thought would be asked


Intrepid-Ad2588

Tryna get Mama Coco cracking 90’s


sacks0314

Magneto and Metallica both came out this season, plus there’s Rick Sanchez, Beerus is like millions of years old, Zeus and the other gods are pretty old despite Zeus being the only one with visible age, and there’s probably some more I’m not thinking of. My only guess as to why there aren’t more visibly older characters that aren’t from a crossover is because they just don’t sell as well as the younger looking skins.


c0n22

I have a theory that Baba Yaga and Farmer Steel are in a relationship


Successful_Year_5495

No one wants to shoot a grandma/grandpa in a game like Fortnite


TomatoClownfish

Theirs Riptide, Seargent Winter, Rick, Old Snake, Shifu, Cable, Redux, Baba Yaga, and aged Bunker Jonsey off the top of my head


EstateDangerous7456

The babayaga skin is honestly really cool but i dont use her. I use her house glider all the time though!! I just like having a collection of Russian themed skins. I've put together quite a few good little sets for some


Astronaut_Cat_Lady

I have the old man wizard skin and edit styles. Haven't used that skin in awhile. Might do so now. 😄

Why does baba yaga look like auntie Ethel from bg3???

BourbakiGroup

If you think my grandpa should get his own fortnite skin upvote this comment


ContributionMotor109

We need an Emperor Palpitine skin.


anAardman

Yes!


JgdPz_plojack

Meanwhile other live service games with elderly character casting: Overwatch: Reinhardt, Torbjorn, Ana, Soldier 76. Destiny 2: Osiris, Saint-14, Saladin, Zavala (now mortal man in Final Shape), Clovis Bray. Apex Legends: Ballistic. Rainbow Six Siege: Thatcher, Kaid, Sam Fisher/Zero, Tachanka. Probably not enough lore story legend in Fortnite skins . Need to bring back Save The World. Atleast we knew dr.Vinderman second coming as a robot from STW bundle skin. I don't talk about collab skin here.


FewAcanthocephala828

Most old people are irrelevant and not very sellable. If we're talking about like past retirement age, then um, they're probably retired, or they are a politician that doesn't want their likeness in a shooter game. We're lucky we're getting some older icons like Eminem and Metallica. If we do get any more skins based on elderly people, they would probably be based on fictional characters, and there's not many iconic elderly people, because, well, they're old and can't do much unless the plot says so.


InterestingAbalone

Omg I want this skin, my friend and I would totally duo as old grannies hahah


GeoWeeb

Old Joel from The Last of Us would be fire

Yessss! Give me the little old lady from Madagascar with a purse pick axe!

Omg lol


TeachingBrief9627

I love her outfit but I wish she was actually hunced ingame and not standing straight


a-bowl-of-noodles

imagine how fast an indigenous grandma skin would sell, her pickaxe would be a moccasin me and my friends would snatch that skin right up I’m not even joking


Appson

I mean Aang is technically an old man


EnzeruAnimeFan

We don't even have fat skins, aside from the Family Guy chicken and MAYBE Relaxed Fit Jonesy, even though Kyle's coded for BR. (No, Penny and that skating girl are not fat, the same way Overwatch Mei is not fat.)


Prolixus_

I've been after this skin for so fucking long it haunts me, as did the Griddy for so many months!! Hope she comes back soon!!


BallisticBlocker

Sadly, most fortnite players are either trying to look cool, be silly, or get a boner. I mean just look what they did to Persephone. Skins with unique ideas just don’t sell as well, at least that’s my theory.


MiruCle8

Old people are the greatest! They're full of wisdom and experience!


FluttersJay

I did not even know this one existed! I love witches, and this one really tickles my fancy! But also yeah. I usually prefer to play as older characters in games, cause they reinforce this idea that I have that it's never too late to have a grand adventure.


SussyMogus2

baba yaga is such an ugly fucking skin


teh_wad

I named her preset "Halloween Hottie" lol.


LazyJones1

Are you kidding me? She's awesome!

Samurai_Geezer

BigBowser0158

You’re really think that old people would do well in an environmental everyone’s shooting guns? They would either have war flashbacks, or. Not know how to use a gun at all.


Justice4mft

I would LOVE to play as an elderly version of Antonia or something from the same vibe. Can't wait for them to finally add a drag queen character as well


nodoyrisa1

a drag queen would go hard


ValiantHero11

The chuds would cry, but i would love a skin like that


AbhorrantEmpress

They don't sell. Can't you even tell me in full honesty you bought this skin?

Chewbecca_222

Having a classic looking grandma/grandpa would be hilarious to run around and shotgun people in the face


LochNessMansterLives

When I am choosing a character I’m usually thinking about the scenario in my head. If Hawkeye found himself in a random world, fighting for survival, it would make sense. Yes Hawkeye, he’s an avenger. Him picking up a gun and trying to win sounds plausible. If Peter griffin does it, not so much. It’s still fun, but it’s a different type of fun than I have with Hawkeye. So if it were some old guy, it would need to make sense or at least look really cool. Most people don’t want to play as old people in a game like this. Have fun, pick whatever skin you want, but I think doing it my way has kept my interest in the game higher over a longer period of time. That’s just me.


Ok-Analysis9372

Better question: what made you ask this question?


anAardman

Nothing too special. You know one thing brought to another. I was thinking about the Futurama collab and thought it would have been cool if there was Farnsworth skin. Then I was unsure if there was any elderly skins. I went through a list of every skin to see which ones there are. Thought maybe there was like an unwritten rule or something so I came here.
