To engage their players more, Fortnite has kept on releasing different skins for their in-game characters. One of the anticipated ones, ‘Airhead’, was in the files of the game since season 9.

The outfit has a red balloon head and a blue and orange-tinted bodysuit. Airhead was leaked a year back, but the official release came in only yesterday. It makes its entry into the list of one of the oldest leaked outfits in the game. Initially, the skin had an epic rarity, but it currently falls under rare.

Players did get into a web of confusion regarding the skin. Rare skins were not supposed to cost as much as the epic ones, and the glitch, although not known to everyone, was instantly noticed by gamers and streamers.
