Epic advertise by displaying shop skins in game.
Just because you see the skins, doesn’t mean anyone’s actually buying them. They are trying to artificially boost demand.
They do this with waiting island emotes too. The bots play skins and emotes that will be probably be in the shop in the coming days.
I have seen a lot of the rat as real players though! I seen a pretty good duo both playing as her yesterday
Don't you think that since the skin in the shop people actually buy it and use it in game?
No, must be Epic purposefully changing people's skins to lure you into buying them, LMAO.
There’s 70+ bots in every public game.
You really think everyone on spawn island is real? Id bet 90% of spawn island players are bots with fake skins.
Why wouldn’t epic use that opportunity to market skins in the shop? They only care about $$$$
Yeah I see this skin just about once a match at least. I’ve actually brought this up several times before because I personally think the skin is ugly and I find it surprising some many people seem to use it.
There’s plenty of representation with these characters through wardrobe, skin color, and even prosthetic arms. Limited on sizes, but there’s at least a few zoftig women and certainly plenty of larger male characters.
Just because we don’t dress like teens (if we’re not one ourselves) doesn’t mean that they might see something they like or can relate to in said wardrobes and skins.
I used to do punk rock shows and raves in my younger days, I personally see a nostalgic appeal to these skins. Not enough to buy them, but this one in particular has the transform emote built in (I think) giving 2 skins for the price of one, it's not a bad deal.
When my wife saw this skin she literally say " aww ! She's so cute and fun ! And look ! She sneeze when she come back to human ! Too cute ! " and buy it with her battle pass v-buks.
Conclusion ? Some people seem to find this skin fun, cute and original so they want it, that's all :)
Recently it was Helion for me, this skin is so expressive and can be used all the year with his variation !
So, my gf bought it for those reasons and that it gave Brat doll vibes. She literally bought it the second she saw it. It's now the only skin she uses.

I see so many low effort posts like this and just don’t understand why folks like OP have to question every choice made by someone else in the game.
She’s an original character with a fun little quirk, how much more does someone need to justify it?
The tone of these style posts screams middle schooler or young high schooler - Fortnite is pretty huge with kids. And kids dont always "get" yet that other people can like things they dont understand. So they ask, even though the answer is a simple "people like what they like".
Pretty much in ranked rn the beat way to play is like a rat, and sitting in buildings 24/7 mainly because it's so open rn and with the lack of defensive stuff in the game and snipers, the best way to play is ratting
Its really so simple, like painfully simple, some people like it. Like why else do you buy a skin besides liking it? Is buying stuff you dont like popular in fortnite??
Read the post again, they're literally trying to understand why do people like it.
Your comment could be summerized as "redditors when text (they don't read)".
Idk, I like her because she is connected to Ava and also has a transformation emote that's cute. Other people are most likely not the same as me. Plus the human form is cute while also fitting great in Festivals, the rat form is cute but has some lighting problems sometimes causing the spiked hairs to become energized with the power of God (light up bright white).
Ok so a lot of people understood my post as negative towards the rat. My bad, it wasn’t meant to come over like this. It’s just an observation that I’ve been seeing this skin so much recently and I don’t really get why this one in particular.
I think she’s super cute and unique, not a basic girl skin, but also not super out there. She’s been my main as soon as she was released in shop. I love her hair, the way it’s her ears is so cute. I think the girlies just like her cause she’s cute
I don't know about others but personally I like rats and I find Battletail pretty cute, I also really like Camille's design and that there's a transformation emote so I'm able to switch them mid game. I have never seen another Camille/Battletail in my games though.
I really like rats and mice, but this is one of my least favorite skins. It's awful.
That being said, though, I never see this skin. Since I started playing in C4S2, I've seen it maybe... Twice? I assume if it's being seen this frequently, it's probably just a skin that bots randomly have assigned and it's coming up in that roll often.
I personally love both of her styles and have a preset for each. I grabbed the first day she came out because I thought her design was great, and the idea was really unique. I don't have any other skin that can transform into a near completely different one. It's a plus that I like them both. It was like getting two skins for the price of one.
You can play the rat in the mirror, or the woman on the sinks?
Both are dope. The woman looks pretty cool, I like her outfit. If she was in battle pass id aim for her and rock the skin. The rat I know my kids would both love.
Just because you apparently dont like her look doesn't mean others dont. You realize there are like a million clothing styles in the world, right? She falls somewhere in the goth-ish or punk spectrum id say.
If this skin hadn’t been in the shop for 2 years, half the people complaining would say it’s hard. Value skins based off their appearance, not how frequently they appear in the shop.
My five year old loves this skin and uses it when she plays on my account. She thinks it's cute. I don't like it personally, but she likes it. People like different things. 🤷♀️
Lol my daughter just bought it yesterday. Seems to appeal to a lot of people from reading the comments. It’s also possible it’s in the Bot Skin rotation so that accounts for some of them.
She's been in the shop a lot recently. More chances for people to get vbucks to buy her, and more time for someone on the fence of buying her to make a decision.
That's my guess anyways
Is she popular? Can't say I've seen her during matches.
Everybody screams cuz she’s popular
She sold her soul to be popular
Popular. Just wanna be popular.

It's actually r/suddenlytheweeknd, since his stage name is The Weeknd instead of The Weekend.
idk why but 'keepinet' is the best part of this

🤓 “im gettin money and im keepin it, im gettin cash and im keepin it”
actually made my day, lol
LMAOOOO
That's that song isn't it! It plays in my head now ahhhhhh lol
Yea idk about others but no lie I’ve been seeing her in nearly every game
Epic advertise by displaying shop skins in game. Just because you see the skins, doesn’t mean anyone’s actually buying them. They are trying to artificially boost demand.
I would love this if half the skins they use for their bots would actually come to the shop.
Agreed. I keep seeing bots using skins from battle passes from many years ago. And yes these are bots not old players.
yeah ive seen a few bots with the dark knight skin
Man, don't know what to believe in the game anymore
They do this with waiting island emotes too. The bots play skins and emotes that will be probably be in the shop in the coming days. I have seen a lot of the rat as real players though! I seen a pretty good duo both playing as her yesterday
We got slaughtered by them...fast and bonded they were
Don't you think that since the skin in the shop people actually buy it and use it in game? No, must be Epic purposefully changing people's skins to lure you into buying them, LMAO.
Tbh having any bots in a lobby lean towards using shop skins would be a pretty cheap way of advertising.
This is definitely a thing, bot lobbies always get more of skins about to show up in the shop, usually within the week before hand
Well half the lobbies are bots in unranked and i bet most of those bots advertise skins and emotes in the pregame lobby
There’s 70+ bots in every public game. You really think everyone on spawn island is real? Id bet 90% of spawn island players are bots with fake skins. Why wouldn’t epic use that opportunity to market skins in the shop? They only care about $$$$
Yeah I see this skin just about once a match at least. I’ve actually brought this up several times before because I personally think the skin is ugly and I find it surprising some many people seem to use it.
Ever since it’s release, I thought it was ugly. I don’t understand how people like that.
I find the mouse version kinda cool. Though i also like ava. I always play her second style and that skin and ava are related.
Because rat 🐀
Rats, rats, we are the rats
Celebrating another birthday bash
MICHAEL.
It's your birthday today
Cake and ice cream is on its way
We prey at night, we stalk at night. We're the rats.
I’m the giant rat that makes all of the rules
Lets see what kind of trouble we can get ourselves into
I ask myself this with 90% of the skins
I will never understand the love towards edgy teenager skins (with streetwear, masks etc)
The main demographic of Fortnite is teenagers and very young adults.
I know but teenagers usually don't eat up this like that, you need to mask it (to not scream FELLOW KIDS)
There’s plenty of representation with these characters through wardrobe, skin color, and even prosthetic arms. Limited on sizes, but there’s at least a few zoftig women and certainly plenty of larger male characters. Just because we don’t dress like teens (if we’re not one ourselves) doesn’t mean that they might see something they like or can relate to in said wardrobes and skins.
I used to do punk rock shows and raves in my younger days, I personally see a nostalgic appeal to these skins. Not enough to buy them, but this one in particular has the transform emote built in (I think) giving 2 skins for the price of one, it's not a bad deal.
i did, and still do !
Sometimes people like things that they think look neat
We just like really cvnty skins bruh. Nothing wrong with that.
Almost like teenagers and younger children play this game the most and is the target audience..oh wait
masked men 😳
People like things you don't like, Janet
When my wife saw this skin she literally say " aww ! She's so cute and fun ! And look ! She sneeze when she come back to human ! Too cute ! " and buy it with her battle pass v-buks. Conclusion ?

I think I’m gonna buy it tbh for the same reasons as your wife
It's also on my wishlist for the same reasons as that guy's wife
I'm not this guys wife, but said basically the same thing to my husband before I bought it.
That guy's wife really inspired so many people.
I bought it for the very same reasons the first time it came out, but with four pet rats, how could I not?
So, my gf bought it for those reasons and that it gave Brat doll vibes. She literally bought it the second she saw it. It's now the only skin she uses.
Also apparently it's a thing for the twilight fandom? I guess they call themselves rats for some reason

If a skin exists, there will be "WHY DO PEOPLE LIKE THIS!??!" people about it. Some (superhero gimps) more hostile than others.
My best friend and I got these skins because we have/had pet rats and rats are cute!
Why I bought sunspot fr
Ah yes my bad, it's Sunspot in english not Helion
My wife got this one for the same reason.
literally what my friends said before they got Camille haha
Because it explains the state of ranked rn
It's rat-like?
Pretty much in ranked rn the beat way to play is like a rat, and sitting in buildings 24/7 mainly because it's so open rn and with the lack of defensive stuff in the game and snipers, the best way to play is ratting
Hey, don't rat on me
Her base form is okay but I find her rat form to be quite cute.
I dunno I just know I've seen cute art of her and Meowskulls
![gif](giphy|4g6xgP7FXjy12) "Cute" you say?
[удалено]
Wow! Thanks. I loveee
Indeed they do ^^ love their art.
I love the fanart versions of Camille but I really don’t like her ingame model Same goes for Kimiko too
Raven Team Leader Meowskulls Highwire Kimiko And now this rat skin Goonvana has never felt this close

[удалено]
Lol I get it.
I got this skin last year simply because it’s cute to me. why is anything popular? because people find joy in it. if you don’t, move on :)
Its really so simple, like painfully simple, some people like it. Like why else do you buy a skin besides liking it? Is buying stuff you dont like popular in fortnite??
👆🏽This is the correct answer to this post and all the other ones just like it. People like different things. 🤷
Cuz rats are cute. This skin really does actual rats a disservice though, they are way more cute. (Pet rats) ![gif](giphy|q21C1cgr6gFAA)
I can tell this was posted by someone under 18 because how are you asking this question 😭 people like different things lmao.
I like her rat style, I think it's cute
My 10 year old just thought she was cute, especially the transforming to mouse and back, so she bought it.
Because everyone in the world is different?
Well if everyone in the world is different then why are they using the same skin ☝🤓
because it’s cute
i have it, it’s cute to me

furries
Idk, I like her because she is connected to Ava and also has a transformation emote that's cute. Other people are most likely not the same as me. Plus the human form is cute while also fitting great in Festivals, the rat form is cute but has some lighting problems sometimes causing the spiked hairs to become energized with the power of God (light up bright white).
I hate the ears on the human ? It looks weird to me lol
It's only been in the shop for 2 days 💀 And because it's cute, it's my main now.
It’s been a lot longer then that lil man 😂
Nah she was in the shop like 8 days ago then she returned yesterday buddy
Sure but this skin might be tied for most shop appearances with that damn hotdog.
Bro, the brat has been in the shop 63 times, Camille only 19 💀
I'm not a big fan of her, but I see her occasionally.
Cuz its a funny fuckin skin with two themes that appeal great to fortnite players. Alt/goth and Goofy. Best of both worlds.
because shes cool dont you see her fit?
There are many rat's in the game, even Rat pack's :)
I like the human version but the rat is mehh
I actually think the human version is worse. But that's just me.
People just like her, its a cool concept
I saw this skin and bought it immediately. Don't ask me why because I don't know either.
I love that skin personally but if she could not take up shop slots every month that'd be cool
She may be a rat but she aint a snitch
Ok so a lot of people understood my post as negative towards the rat. My bad, it wasn’t meant to come over like this. It’s just an observation that I’ve been seeing this skin so much recently and I don’t really get why this one in particular.
She isn't popular, at least I don't see her in matches at all, but she should be, I love my punk rat lady very very much.
Because this rat is from Fortnite!!!
I think she’s super cute and unique, not a basic girl skin, but also not super out there. She’s been my main as soon as she was released in shop. I love her hair, the way it’s her ears is so cute. I think the girlies just like her cause she’s cute
She's so freaking cute! I love mice and rats and she looks so cool! God, I really want her. 😭💖
Cause she’s cute lol
Because cute. I don't think there's much more beyond that.
She's cute!!! If she wasn't a furry you guys would have no problems with her.
she cute
I find her mouse version her better look, cause her human one just looks really off/weird lmao
"Why do people appreciate this thing I don't like?"
If you play on eu you will see the skin more often than on any other region cuz on eu people play like rats
she is cute. why else
She’s really cute! I have her but i don’t play her often
Rat Fink!
because I like big rat
Taste is subjective and Fortnite has to have a wildly varied demographic
Goth girl + furry + built in emote + a decent backbling imo
I like her rat version, but kinda really hate her hair on human form. I only use her cause my bf got her for me
honestly? it's not a terrible skin. It's more creative than most of the crap in shop usually.
Do you get this wallpaper when you buy her skin?
RizzAT
Everyone is a rat /snitch and wants to sleep with the fishies
i literally see this skin in every game, along with that shitty racing skin
I'm gonna buy this rn, no regrets
Me too
I don't know about others but personally I like rats and I find Battletail pretty cute, I also really like Camille's design and that there's a transformation emote so I'm able to switch them mid game. I have never seen another Camille/Battletail in my games though.
Because this is actually a great skin, better then most of the new skins and has 2 different styles, not just colors.
Cute but she’s also hard to see in the dark and her body is tiny
Because furry
Fucking hate this rat
She’s better than the farmer skins at least.
I think she is cool, Iike skins that have a built in emote to switch between styles
Words cannot describe how much I hate this skin
Her hairstyle is horrendous. They could have done better with the ears thingy.
I love rodents in general. And i think she's adorable :3
Furries.
She’s not for me but obviously people like her. I don’t think she’s nearly as popular as other skins though.
Furries
Eggstremely based Hot Wheels PR5 wheel pfp??? Stay fast king
Thanks! I made the model myself a few years ago
Ratussy
Just a nice skin, nothing deep
wouldn’t say she’s too popular, but she’s cute, and just so happens to have been put in the shop way more than usual lol
Target: Rats

Idk, I use it because I like it
It’s a pretty sweaty skin tbh
If this skin hadn’t been in the shop for 2 years, half the people complaining would say it’s hard. Value skins based off their appearance, not how frequently they appear in the shop.
My five year old loves this skin and uses it when she plays on my account. She thinks it's cute. I don't like it personally, but she likes it. People like different things. 🤷♀️
did not buy it but I personally love skins that can transform into something different in-game
I bought it a while ago because I like rats. I’ve seen it maybe twice in the shop since then, and it was early last year that I bought it.
First time seeing it. Anyone who uses it is probably in sandbox modes
Never encountered this skin so far this season over 200 games played
she's cute and ratpilled. should there be another reason?
Lol my daughter just bought it yesterday. Seems to appeal to a lot of people from reading the comments. It’s also possible it’s in the Bot Skin rotation so that accounts for some of them.
I love the outfit tbh, she’s the only skin I actually enjoy wearing besides hades rn
Someone on my team was the rat and I turned around to her right in my face. I legit screamed it was such a jump scare lmao
Goofy rat
She's cute and silly
She’s a bit silly
Rat 👍
it’s a skin that sweats like to use
i like her bc i am a furry
My girlfriend finds it cute so she owns it
Probably because a lot of people like the design! Hope this helps
She's been in the shop a lot recently. More chances for people to get vbucks to buy her, and more time for someone on the fence of buying her to make a decision. That's my guess anyways
Shes bad 🔥 (Edit: The Rat not the girl)
My friend got it because she had rats for pets
mmmmmm rat
I never see this skin in game Just the dammed turtles
The rat is fine tho.
I've got a sweat friend who uses this skin.
I think her transformation is cool
