Fortnite's Next Icon Skin Is Based On Someone Who Got Famous At 14 Years Old

Fortnite’s roster of streamers who have skins in the item shop just got a little bigger with the addition of Cody “Clix” Conrod, who, at 19 years old, will be one of the youngest people ever to have a Fortnite skin based on them. Along with the new Clix skin, there will be a full slate of Clix-related cosmetics and, in a first for this sort of thing, a Clix-themed remix of an existing skin.

Clix, for those who aren’t familiar, made a name for himself by earning a spot in the Fortnite World Cup in 2019 when he was just 14 years old. And while he continues to compete at the highest levels, he’s also become a popular streamer and personality, which is how he’s landed his very own Fortnite skin.

Clix’s slate of cosmetics will include a single skin that comes with two distinctive styles based on a meme you probably know even if he’s new to you–one in which he’s sporting a t-shirt and pajama pants, and another in which he’s wearing a suit and tie. In addition to the skin, Clix’s set includes two back blings, two emotes, a wrap, and a pickaxe.

There’s also a new Clix-themed version of the Sparkplug skin called Sparx. Everything listed here will be sold in the item shop starting March 22, both individually (including the back blings) and as part of one large bundle that includes all of it.

As is customary for this sort of thing, Fortnite will offer players the chance to unlock the whole set of cosmetics for free by participating in the Clix Icon Cup, a battle royale trios (builds only) tournament taking place on March 21–those in the top tier of performers for each region will earn the full bundle. But in an unusual move, there’s also a consolation prize for those who just miss out: the next-best tier of performers will get the Sparx outflit. Anyone who earns at least 8 points in the tournament will get a spray.

Clix will become the person born most recently to have a Fortnite skin, dethroning The Kid Laroi, who was also 19 when he got a skin in 2023. But here’s a fun fact: Kyle “Bugha” Giersdorf got his Fortnite skin when he was 18, making him the youngest to ever earn that honor.
