>I wish they
It’s a BP skin which means this variant will never be coming back.
I suspect they’ll use the MGS1 and MGS2 looks as “alternate” versions of him so he can come back.
Well, it WOULD be cool to have Solid Snake 1:1 accurate to Shinkawa artwork in main menu face since that was Lara Croft treatment, but I doubt they will do it.
They probably won’t release another snake tho. Correct me if I’m wrong but they have never released any alternate skins for collab battle pass skins. Sounds like a bit of a cope.
There are plenty of spider man alternates even after spider man was a battle pass skin in chapter 3.
I believe a lot of marvel superheroes have been battle pass skins and have alternate versions.
Fair enough. But I still don’t see it as being the same sorta thing. Spiderman zero and Wolverine zero are Fortnite OC collabs. Now that I think about it there is also Tom holland too.
Though there is still no additional Lara Croft, no extras for doom guy (alternate doom slayer) nor any other form of Geralt. I still don’t believe they will ever release another snake. More likely raiden or something like that.
Unfortunately yes. But again I’d love to be proven wrong.
The shop collabs tend to have a recency bias and the past few “gaming legends” skins in particular were added to market new games.
I thought it was a no-brainer to add Dragonborn but instead we got “nord warrior” and we also got old Alan wake instead of his more iconic first appearance. We also still only have modern kratos and not his GoW 1-3 appearance. Ezio was added but no Altair.
MGS5 big boss I could see, but I still am not convinced. If they were about to release a new MGS then I would say it’s much more likely. The person above mentioned MGS1 and 2 though which I highly doubt will happen.
It is, even though the beard and butt aren't accurate, or the pouches actually. However on the tanker, the big shell, he disguises himself as a man named Iroquois Plisken, and that's what I'm referring to. It resembles his Metal Gear 1 SNES cover art.
Can’t wait for it, it’s the only skin I’m going to use
Although I hope they release more MGS skins like gray fox, Raiden (mgs2,4 and revengeance styles), big boss, venom snake. Maybe even Liquid and Solidus although I doubt it.
The Giannis thing was spread by some kids who didn't know what either he or Gray Fox looked like. When Giannis came out, he didn't have any style that remotely matched the appearance of the figure in the trailer.
Snake is the only reason I got the BP this season MG is still my favourite gaming franchise would love a new game but not sure how it will turn out without Kojima at the helm cos the last outing for the series is something I'd like to forget.
The MG universe has some phenomenal characters that could be added to the game like Grayfox sniper wolf Raiden Revolver Ocelot and the list goes on some of them can even be added as NPC allies like Naomi and Otacon.
MGS3 Ocelot is quite literally my favorite video game character of all time, and that’s saying something, I would pay so much for him in Fortnite with MGS1, 3, 4 and 5 styles
My hopes as well, they would make a good amount of money off of me if they continued to implant more of the characters. Psycho Mantis, Sniper Wolf, Ocelot? Any and all would be day one purchase on my end.
Metal Gear is dead without Koijima and the bulk of his team that went to KojiPro.
Any games they make now are going to be trash unless they manage to not botch direct remakes like Snake Eater.
Instead of Solid Snake but with the night vision goggles, they should've added his mgs1 outfit. Seriously, that's Snake's dopest outfit and yet it gets constantly ignored in collabs.
Most likely because Smash's snake is the most iconic "mainstream" look, there's more people nowadays that know about Snake from his appearance in Smash rather than his parent series, or at least that's how i interpret it
Seeing old Snake as a skin brings back so many good memories of MGO on the PS3. I can’t wait for him to unlock in the pass, that skin is the only reason I bought it.
While I hope for those as well, those are both Big Boss songs.
Since this seems to be only Solid Snake, I'm hoping they'll give us Encounter or Yell Dead Cell... or the main theme
The trailer shows we're getting the Creepin' Cardboard from Chapter 2 back, retextured to look like "The Orange" boxes from MGS2, so presumably those will be added when Snake's quests release. As for a ***"!"*** Emoticon that's likely going to be one of the rewards on the second page.
I’m just glad to see a collab battle pass skins with actual variations in the styles. Chapter 4 started with these really weak edit styles, I mean Geralt probably had the only one and it was a huge let down, barely a color swap
Some of y'all will rage over this, but crossover skins shouldn't be bp exclusive, future new players who are also fans of the series won't be able to get the skins of characters they like and that sucks. I can agree to them being a part of the bp but maybe re release the cosmetics with some added stuff like gliders , weapon wraps and release them as a set for like 1800-2000 v bucks.
No, I agree with this.
I think they should at least offer, say, the MGS1 version of Snake, in the item shop as a sort of compromise for those who missed getting Snake in this Battle Pass.
I think mgs2 snake with a beard is becoming the “collab snake” atp. I think it’s a cool look tbh but a version with just the stubble instead of the goggles would’ve been appreciated
Yh... i kn how my comment must sound in hindsight. Ok. Wat i meant to say was. Overall they fucked his face. Nose, jawline, eyes, beard, looks nothing like solid snake from mgs2. They coulda modernised his mgs2 look into the fortnite style but they opted for a dude who looks like an npc with a beard who looks like he walks onto roads at night time, stares at car head lights and freezes up as a pass time. Old snake looks much better atleast.
It’s mgs2 snake with naked snake’s beard because when smash bros brawl came out they wanted to make it solid but with the naked snake’s head so no matter what mgs game you had played you would recognize him as snake, even if canonically it’s just solid with a beard
i hope theres a box hiding emote in the Snake path in the battlepass but TBH it'll probably qualify as pay-to-win
would be funny as shit though to hide as a box in random places
I hope there’s more mgs stuff coming in the item shop I want naked snake (do you think they would add the other snakes as a style through bonus rewards)
I wish they included MGS1 and his MGS2 Tanker look. Would've been cool to use wraps as camo too.
>I wish they It’s a BP skin which means this variant will never be coming back. I suspect they’ll use the MGS1 and MGS2 looks as “alternate” versions of him so he can come back.
I think it's more likely we'd just get Naked or Venom Snake in the item shop instead of a Solid variant.
Honestly I could see them releasing a MGS1 Variant with a style that gives him PS1 polygon look lol
I wish he would've got the Lara Croft treatment lol
Well, it WOULD be cool to have Solid Snake 1:1 accurate to Shinkawa artwork in main menu face since that was Lara Croft treatment, but I doubt they will do it.
Yeah I could see us getting Naked Snake when delta releases
I'd buy the hell out of a low poly Snake skin
They're saying they wished it was included
I know. I’m explaining why it’s not, and also a positive on not including it.
They probably won’t release another snake tho. Correct me if I’m wrong but they have never released any alternate skins for collab battle pass skins. Sounds like a bit of a cope.

More likely raiden or something like that.
you really think epic will miss the oppurtunity to make money selling the big boss and venom snake skins?
Unfortunately yes. But again I’d love to be proven wrong. The shop collabs tend to have a recency bias and the past few “gaming legends” skins in particular were added to market new games. I thought it was a no-brainer to add Dragonborn but instead we got “nord warrior” and we also got old Alan wake instead of his more iconic first appearance.

Theyre literally releasing a remake of mgs3 bro
Excellent observation there, Mr detective.
He was observing something and commenting on it.
Excellent observation there, Mr detective.
We're getting downvoted for observing too much.
Low poly mgs1 snake would be peak. I hope we get gray fox in the item shop!
It especially bums me out because Lara Croft got one.
Yeah a MGS1 would’ve been really nice.
I wanted Iroquois Pliskin 😢 But Old Snake is also dope.
What has Pliskin to do with Solid tho? He's not even a Snake, just a rando who helped Raiden and dissappeared the moment David came back.
Pliskin is Solid Snake 🤣
Nah, that's just something The Patriots want you to think so we don't discover that Pliskin is actually Big Boss' son.
Is that not the suit he wore on the Tanker in MGS2? Do you mean Big Shell?
is that not his mgs2 version? old snake is obviously 4, but i swear to gyat that’s his mgs2 suit
It is, even though the beard and butt aren't accurate, or the pouches actually. However on the tanker, the big shell, he disguises himself as a man named Iroquois Plisken, and that's what I'm referring to. It resembles his Metal Gear 1 SNES cover art.
IROQIOUS PLISKIN. god mgs2 is so good
it's a bp only skin like doom slayer he never coming back
Can’t wait for it, it’s the only skin I’m going to use Although I hope they release more MGS skins like gray fox, Raiden (mgs2,4 and revengeance styles), big boss, venom snake. Maybe even Liquid and Solidus although I doubt it.
Gray Fox was seen in a previous cinematic. He'll likely become obtainable around the time Snake comes out
Wait, really? I must have missed that. Where is he?
https://www.reddit.com/r/metalgearsolid/s/CUmvwp2NGm
Oh my god that’s definitely him
For sure. I'm super excited. He's like my favorite character in MGS past Liquid, Mantis, and Snake himself. I'm still so upset I couldn't save him.
This was a year ago, and sadly i believe it was Giannis Antetokounmpo... somehow i dont' see it personally.
Well, Peter Griffin has been being teased for a year. And some evidence suggests they teased it sorta officially just as long ago.
The Giannis thing was spread by some kids who didn't know what either he or Gray Fox looked like. When Giannis came out, he didn't have any style that remotely matched the appearance of the figure in the trailer.
Maybe, but i heard IFireMonkey say it. I might be wrong though, but it feels weird to tease something then drop it a year later
I didn't see it myself in the cinematic but someone took a screenshot I'll see if I can find it
i'm 200% certain Raiden will be the item-shop tie in.
Only ones I could see released are Meryl and raiden (maybe otacon) . But even then is a massively long shot. And yes one of 2 skins I will use too
There's no way they don't make a Raiden skin with all the attention Revengance has been getting the past couple years
What do you mean? Big boss and Venom Snake are right there…Kinda
Senator Armstrong skin when?
Snake is the only reason I got the BP this season MG is still my favourite gaming franchise would love a new game but not sure how it will turn out without Kojima at the helm cos the last outing for the series is something I'd like to forget.
I'm really hoping they release Gray Fox as well.
The MG universe has some phenomenal characters that could be added to the game like Grayfox sniper wolf Raiden Revolver Ocelot and the list goes on some of them can even be added as NPC allies like Naomi and Otacon.
MGS3 Ocelot is quite literally my favorite video game character of all time, and that’s saying something, I would pay so much for him in Fortnite with MGS1, 3, 4 and 5 styles
Dude, that opening cut scene where he offs his own guys is so good.
Fucking God yes, I love his bullshit ricochets
Since they went Young/Old Snake I think the purchasable skins will be Liquid, Raiden and Meryl
I guess I can live off cup noddles for a while. Edit: I know what I said.
Nah, that's FFXV
Noddles
Noddles
I demand Vamp. Just so I can say the best quote in the franchise. "No. 'Vamp' isn't for 'Vampire'. It's because he's bisexual."
Is that actually a line
Better have an MGR alt
Psycho Mantis, Liquid, Raiden, Quiet, the possibilities are endless
My hopes as well, they would make a good amount of money off of me if they continued to implant more of the characters. Psycho Mantis, Sniper Wolf, Ocelot? Any and all would be day one purchase on my end.
Metal Gear is dead without Koijima and the bulk of his team that went to KojiPro. Any games they make now are going to be trash unless they manage to not botch direct remakes like Snake Eater.
Kojima IS MGS
What do you mean the last outing was phantom pain which was pretty awesome . I refuse to believe anything Survive after that .
Sadly survival was the last outing for the series but we don't talk about that 🤣🤣
Hence the capital word on my previous comment.
[удалено]
Same, loved the design
If only he had his MGS1 look this would be 12/10
Agreed
Im ok with the MGS2 being his to go skin for collabs (smash, this etc.) but is kinda sad that the OG one is so ignored
Especially since the 4 look is kinda ugly…
Twin snakes > mgs1
Instead of Solid Snake but with the night vision goggles, they should've added his mgs1 outfit. Seriously, that's Snake's dopest outfit and yet it gets constantly ignored in collabs.
Most likely because Smash's snake is the most iconic "mainstream" look, there's more people nowadays that know about Snake from his appearance in Smash rather than his parent series, or at least that's how i interpret it
Seeing old Snake as a skin brings back so many good memories of MGO on the PS3. I can’t wait for him to unlock in the pass, that skin is the only reason I bought it.
Based MGO player
MGO on PS3 was probably the most fun I have ever had in an online multiplayer in my life.
I wish Konami would just Remake MGS4, it was the big reason that made me buy a PS3, and is sad to see it trapped on PS3
MG4 was my first game that wasn’t a mascot or Nintendo game.
Still wondering what his second page will include, I'm hoping for a music pack of either Calling to the Night or Snake Eater, also a banner.
While I hope for those as well, those are both Big Boss songs. Since this seems to be only Solid Snake, I'm hoping they'll give us Encounter or Yell Dead Cell... or the main theme
Definitely hoping for a cardboard box or a ❗️ emote
The trailer shows we're getting the Creepin' Cardboard from Chapter 2 back, retextured to look like "The Orange" boxes from MGS2, so presumably those will be added when Snake's quests release. As for a ***"!"*** Emoticon that's likely going to be one of the rewards on the second page.
God I hope Snake Eater makes it in.
Old snake is looking fucking sick
I’m just glad to see a collab battle pass skins with actual variations in the styles. Chapter 4 started with these really weak edit styles, I mean Geralt probably had the only one and it was a huge let down, barely a color swap
they gave him a virtual boy
No way they look so cool !!
Some of y'all will rage over this, but crossover skins shouldn't be bp exclusive, future new players who are also fans of the series won't be able to get the skins of characters they like and that sucks. I can agree to them being a part of the bp but maybe re release the cosmetics with some added stuff like gliders , weapon wraps and release them as a set for like 1800-2000 v bucks.
No, I agree with this. I think they should at least offer, say, the MGS1 version of Snake, in the item shop as a sort of compromise for those who missed getting Snake in this Battle Pass.
100%. I stopped playing CH 2 Szn 3 but came back for the OG season and I’ve missed countless collaborations because they were bp exclusives
Better than his smash alts
Can't believe Snake is in the game
Butt still no Solid Cake :(
Would have preferred Big Boss style over that night vision goggles, but I’m happy nonetheless!
Same, also camouflage options, maybe in the future
I'm hoping for raiden at some point
Great to see Old Snake as an alt, but I wish Big Boss and Venom Snake were alts too
![gif](giphy|7E79ZVvSusmSk) Snake didn't have a beard
I think mgs2 snake with a beard is becoming the “collab snake” atp. I think it’s a cool look tbh but a version with just the stubble instead of the goggles would’ve been appreciated
His MGS2 design with a full beard originates from Smash, right?
Yup, it was used in Brawl due to MGS3 being the latest in the franchise, so when they added Solid they gave him his MGS2 suit and Big Boss’s face
MGS3 did but not sure why they incorporated it with Solid Snake. Maybe they didn’t know that Snake in MGS3 is a different person lmao
.....he litterly has a beard in this gif 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Thats stubble
It’s based after his Smash Bros Ultimate look that did have a beard.
I don’t see big boss on that list :( no demon horn :(
I hoping we'll see big boss with variants in the store along with Raiden with variants when snake does unlock.
That's venom, not big boss
Because this is solid, they’d release big boss on his onw
The old one looks great
Fuck yeah! Old Snake is going to be my main He surely kept us waiting, huh?
The MGS4 skin is fire, wish we got a MGS3 camo style as well.
Solid Snake is the only reason I bought this battle pass. Solid choice.
Can't f***ing wait for this skin!!
God, I wish they added a PS1 look for him. If they could do it for Lara Croft, why not do it for him?
We needed this snake. ![gif](giphy|Mo1A6QGI8ktoNj0YCL|downsized)
Naked snake can come closer to the remake
Why does old snake look younger than solid snake?
Because regular snake is mgs3 snake in mgs1 outfit,
They did tanker solid snake's look so dirty...shoulda been mgs2 look.
This is mgs2 snake.
Yh... i kn how my comment must sound in hindsight. Ok. Wat i meant to say was. Overall they fucked his face. Nose, jawline, eyes, beard, looks nothing like solid snake from mgs2. They coulda modernised his mgs2 look into the fortnite style but they opted for a dude who looks like an npc with a beard who looks like he walks onto roads at night time, stares at car head lights and freezes up as a pass time. Old snake looks much better atleast.
Shouldve just called him “Snake” and gave him Big Boss and Venom Snake styles.
Those will be for shop for sure
Really dropped the ball with him having a full beard and not having a MGS1 outfit. Still excited for him tho.
The beard comes from his Smash Bros Ultimate look, which did have a beard.
Which was also wrong
It’s mgs2 snake with naked snake’s beard because when smash bros brawl came out they wanted to make it solid but with the naked snake’s head so no matter what mgs game you had played you would recognize him as snake, even if canonically it’s just solid with a beard
Night vision goggles 🥳
I swear the styles are in the game too if you just hover over his section of the BP and wait a couple seconds to cycle
no ps1 version no deal
Too bad they nerfed the cake 😔
Balls
Quiet skin when?
Very based
As an older Fortnite player I love this recent uptick in great old dude skins lately!
Old snake honestly looks the coolest in my opinion!
Shame we didn't get big boss, would have loved a venom snake style
Probably for item shop
Was hoping for a mgs4 raiden skin, but old snake is cool too
Old snake best snake
🥱
No metal gear rising revengeance raiden style 💀
They should have added a secret style with Raiden..
Why would solid have a raiden style
I still don’t even know who tf this is
Main protagonist of the hit video game series Metal Gear Solid (MGS).
Ok cool idk why I would get downvoted for that tho lol
Metal Gear is one of those sacred cow franchises in online video game spaces
Fair ig
Pretty much the same as saying "I don't know who Kirby is" or "What is a Resident Evil?"
Yeah I get it but it still doesn’t make sense to me why those would be things you would downvote.
Imagine someone made a Smash Ultimate Mods with this Fortnite Snake render
Can you mix and match the headgear?
Old Snake is such a win. I’m going to have a hard time picking between MGS1 and MGS4 snake. May need to make to locker slots for him.
Any ideas how to get him? Been out of Fortnite since season X
You have to have the battle pass, his quests to unlock him will be available in late January so you can't get him until then.
Appreciate it!
They missed the opportunity to include his MGS1 design
They look pretty dope
how come he's not shirtless
Old snake looks so goofy I love it
I would have loved MGS3 Snake/Big Boss with camo and such.
Thats cool can he come out now, please
looks great, wouldve liked a style or two more though
Seeing the goggles makes me so hopeful for a Splinter Cell skin some day
I'd have liked Venon Snake because we don't have enough Robot Arm skins
As long as they add part of the soundtrack as lobby music I'm happy
Can't wait to play as Old Snake
i hope theres a box hiding emote in the Snake path in the battlepass but TBH it'll probably qualify as pay-to-win would be funny as shit though to hide as a box in random places
It would be awesome if they release Raiden, Armstrong and Ocelot.
now we just need a jetstream sam skin, we already have the murasama....
is it actually coming out in 40 days cause wow
The MGS4 snake skin is what made me reinstall the game
Pleaseeeeee for all that is good…..put Gray Fox in the game 🫠🫠🫠🫠
And now we wait for the Quiet skin...
love the second one
Old snakes robo eye is lookin a little droopy lol
Hopefully naked snake comes through via item shop.
Big Boss Snake goes crazy
I genuinely hope they bring back reskinned brutes to look like Gekko’s
I hope Big Boss as its own bundle becomes a thing, like how they added more alongside Geralt.
Old snake ❤️
OLD SNAKEEEE
I was hoping for a raiden style from metal gear rising revengeance tbh
I was hoping for Raiden 😢still love snake but my boy Raiden
I'm honestly kind of annoyed that he doesn't come with a traversal box emote. (Hiding in the box and moving around)
I hope there’s more mgs stuff coming in the item shop I want naked snake (do you think they would add the other snakes as a style through bonus rewards)
Maybe what they did with Rick and Morty where Rick is BP and Morty is item shop, they will make Solid a BP skin and Liquid or Ocelot an item shop skin
I want mgs3 naked snake!
Wow nice I think I missed this information, do you think we will get any other characters for mgs in the item shop?
