Only one true Solid Snake variant is set to be added as part of the Fortnite x Metal Gear crossover. Old Snake can be earned, who fans will know primarily appears in Metal Gear Solid 4. There are small variants in that you can add Snake's binoculars, or keep them off, but that's pretty much it for now.

Fortnite is set to add Solid Snake from the Metal Gear series. He's the bonus skin this season, bringing a whole host of espionage-focused items along with him. As with most bonus skins, Solid Snake was not available at the beginning of Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 1, instead unlocking part-way through the season. We've still got a little while to wait, but not too long, thankfully.
