Like Solid Snake stealthily escaping Shadow Moses, Epic snuck out Metal Gear’s well-known sidekick Raiden as a part of the V28.10 update.
The Raiden presently available for purchase in Fortnite is the model of the character from Metal Gear Solid 2, not, as some had puzzled (hoped?), from the more moderen and eternally memed Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance.
You may catch Fortnite’s Raiden working with Snake within the video under:
And when you can select to play as Raiden along with his helmet on or off, Fortnite doesn’t embrace a unadorned Raiden pores and skin, sadly. Nonetheless, that hasn’t dampened among the… enthusiastic response to Raiden’s Fortnite incarnation, with followers mentioning he seems to be ever so barely totally different within the waist and, ahem, bulge division. Maybe Raiden shouldn’t complain, given Epic stripped Solid Snake of his epic ass.
